This high-performance packaging foam provides optimal cushioning against repeated impacts and is impervious to most chemicals.
White in colour, it is a resilient and flexible closed-cell polyethylene foam with a durability that makes it ideal for use in packaging applications with an unsurpassed capacity to absorb repeated shocks and is ideal for protecting valuable equipment or products in transit.
EPE packaging foam is moisture and chemical-resistant, recovers from compression and impacts, is cost-effective, and inert to most chemicals. It is predominately used in block form or as a profiled cut for foam packaging solutions.
As closed-cell foam manufacturers, we supply sheet sizes in 2700 x 610 x 100mm and can provide custom-cut foam.
Custom polyethylene sheets (Not Available in NSW)
Foamex PE33 polyethylene foam has a fine regular cell structure with excellent physical properties providing good thermal insulation, weather ability, low water absorption, and is inert to most chemicals.
It is chemically cross-linked and supplied in sheet form. Profiling can be done to achieve rounded edges and basic square shapes. It can be used in applications such as floating pond covers, precision packaging, and general insulation.
Available in a standard sheet size of 2000 x 1000 x 100m, it can be cut to size.
Flexible polyurethane foam (Not Available in NSW)
Foamex 29-400 is a flexible polyurethane product used for firm seating and is beneficial in high-load and high-impact applications.
It is ideal for custom packaging because it can be easily cut and shaped to fit any item and provides high-quality cushioning and protection for goods during shipping and handling. Its ability to absorb shock and recover its shape makes it excellent for protecting fragile items.
Flexible polyurethane is particularly useful for packing electronics, glass items, and other fragile products due to its shock-absorbing properties. Plus, it has superior thermal insulation properties, making it suitable for packaging temperature-sensitive goods.
It is primarily used for precision packaging and can be supplied in sheet form or profiled for packaging requirements.
