Let’s learn more about Expanded Polyethylene Foam and why IRE-TEX Premier is one of the top suppliers of EPE foam.
What is an Expanded Polyethylene Foam?
Expanded Polyethylene Foam is light in weight, versatile, and has a non-crosslinked structure. It is produced by blowing low-density polyethylene with the help of LPG yielding a foam with closed-cell structure. It provides the foam with great resilience along with water, shock, and vibration resistance. Also, our EPE foams can be recycled, so you don’t have to worry about its eco-friendliness, making it the preferred choice for packaging and insulation in many industries.
How does the EPE foam protect your products?
There are several protective functions offered by the EPE foam to ensure that your products are safe and undamaged. Here’s why:
- Shock Absorption and Cushioning
Delicate and fragile items like glass or electronic parts should be packed with a material that possesses excellent cushioning ability. EPE Foam is the perfect solution because it offers excellent shock-absorbing and cushioning qualities. It can withstand shocks and bumps without harming the product during transport because of its resistant nature. Its exceptional compressive resistance provides maximum protection to your products even when it’s roughly handled.
- Thermal Insulation
Sensitive items such as electronic items, medical devices, temperature-sensitive items, etc. can be damaged due to extreme temperature variations. Where the use of EPE Foam becomes necessary. It is renowned for its excellent thermal insulating properties, which keeps your items against temperature variations and renders them safe.
- Moisture Resistance
Another factor that affects the nature of your products is moisture. So, your products must be covered with a layer that prevents moisture. Such packaging material is the EPE Foam, with its closed-cell structure creating this layer. It is therefore the ideal option for industries with exposure to wet conditions to avoid the products getting damp and corroding.
- Chemical and Abrasion Resistance
Most items respond to external factors such as abrasions or chemicals when in transit. Thus, choose a packaging material that protects your items against damage by everyday substances. The abrasion resistance provided by the EPE Foam does not let the integrity of your items be compromised when in transit and when being handled.
- Anti-skidding and Anti-aging
The foam is also anti-skid, maintaining the position of your products during transport. Since the EPE Foam is anti-aging, it will remain protective with the passage of time and offer long-term protection.
