XPE FOAM

XPE Foam is a closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam material used for various applications, particularly in the automotive industry, as a lightweight alternative for interior components, and also as an aid to noise reduction.

 

1.What does X and PE mean in XPE foam?


The ‘X’ in XPE foam is to show that XPE foam is a cross-linked foam, which means the polymers, or chains of molecular units of the foam material, bond together by crossing in a repeating pattern. The repeating, cross-linked pattern in foam materials like XPE, gives it various properties, including the ability to bear heavy loads and return to its original form, and to stretch without excessive degradation.

The PE in XPE foam stands for Polyethylene, and represents the low-density polyethylene resin used as the raw material in the production of XPE foam, whether in roll form or block form.

 

2.What is properties of XPE foam?


——Cushioning – This cushioning property of XPE foam allows it to absorb and reduce the effects of impact, making it an ideal packaging solution for sports shoe components or medical foam etc.

——Sound absorption – The phenomenal sound absorption property of XPE foam makes it one of the most widely used foam types for the reduction of noise in various automotive components.

——Heat insulation – Another key property of XPE foam is its ability to insulate against heat, another reason it’s often used in industries including automotive and packaging.

——Water-resistance – XPE foam is exceptionally resistant to water and moisture exposure, making it highly adaptable to pipe insulation, expansion joints, and for refrigeration components.

——Formability – XPE foam is extremely easy to cut and shape using various machining methods, making it one of the best solutions for the manufacture of intricate packaging.

——Odourless – Because XPE foam is odourless and non-toxic, its uses range from sports and yoga matting, to foam handles, and food packaging.
