Closed Cell Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam
Cross linked polyethylene foams are manufactured in both continuous roll and bun forms.
Closed cell cross linked polyethylene foam. It is also used as packaging and in flotation equipment with its low moisture permeability and high buoyancy. The most common roll width is 60. Cross linked foam rolls are extruded at a thickness from 1 32 to approximately 5 thick. With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties cross linked polyethylene foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell foam.
Cross linked polyethylene foam is exceptionally fine celled and suitable for projects that require thicker foam. The rolls can be manufactured in densities ranging from 2 lb cubic foot to 20 lb cubic foot. It boasts a smooth and pleasant feel combined with outstanding chemical and physical properties which makes it the preferred solution for several applications where thicker sections of closed cell foam are required. It has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect class a surfaces and is consequently used extensively in the packaging of medical products and equipment.
Cross linked polyethylene is commercially used for thermal insulation expansion joints and industrial gaskets. With its closed cell density xlpe works well commercially as thermal insulation construction expansion joints and industrial gaskets. Closed cell cross linked polyethylene foam cross linked polyethylene foam also known as xlpe is a closed cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water. Chemically cross linked polyethylene foam is an extremely fine celled foam ideal for projects and applications that require thicker foam.
