Properties of PE foams
It is resistant to common acid alkali andsolvents
non-hygroscopic and non-water absorbing
non-corrosive and non-dusting
stable to temperatures ranging between -20 o
Celsius to +70o
Celsius It has fair resilience, good damping ,low
creep and fair value of compressions set.

Comparison between extruded and
cross-linked PE Foams
Chemical, Mechanical and thermal property ofextruded and cross-linked PE foams are verysimilar.
The cell size of cross-linked foams is generallysmaller and more uniform.
Thickness dimension is more uniform in cross-linked sheet as compare to extruded sheet.
Cross-linked product posses a softer feel than
the extruded product.

Foam in Place
This packaging solution blocks the productand gives protection against shocks. Thepolyurethane foam is created through achemical process, where two liquids reactand expand rapidly.
In a very short space of time, the foamexpands more than 200 times

Cushioning methods Air Pad
Air pad is an efficient filling solution that canalso be used for blocking lightweightproducts.
This packaging solution fills the emptyspaces in the box, effectively protecting and
stabilising the product. Air pads are suitable for regular shaped
products without sharp edges and protrudingparts.
