Polyethylene Foam

Polyethylene foam is a durable, lightweight, resilient, closed-cell material available in a wide range of densities and colors in both plank and roll stock. It is often used for packaging and material handling applications due to its excellent vibration dampening and insulation properties as well as its high resistance to chemicals and moisture.

It is easy to process and form and has high load bearing characteristics that help manufacturers reduce packaging costs as they can use thinner and smaller amounts of foam yet still protect products. Polyethylene is also buoyant which makes it quite popular for flotation products and other water related applications.
