Polyfoam Sheets - Expanded Polyethylene - EPE
Description
Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) sheets are lightweight, flexible, closed-cell foam, commonly used as protective cushioning, impact and shock protection, general packaging uses. It is a non-crosslinked foam. Also known as marine buoyancy foam, EPE foam sheets are highly resilient, non-abrasive and chemically inert, water and moisture resistant (not 100% waterproof) and environmentally 100% recyclable. EPE foam is quite popular to use for various moisture resistance and thermal insulation. Because of its great strength to weight ratio, you find them in basic foam packaging, tool storage trays floor underlay, furniture edge protection and water flotation. It is used in tool storage trays, and as packaging in Pelican and Road cases. It is also used in some gym floor mats and foam gym equipment and can be shaped and manipulated for events and display purposes.
EPE foam sheets can be used for Marine Buoyancy applications, however with long term exposure, it will take up some moisture. For Marine buoyancy foams, see our ranges of PE and EVA polyethylene foams.
