Foams are one of those highly versatile products that provide plenty of uses and great for countless applications. They come in different types but the most common one is the polyethylene foam, also called extruded polyethylene or PE foam in short. It is particularly designed to give maximum protection for cushion packaging and feels like a kid’s pool noodle. Its exceptional dimensional stability, non-abrasive and recovery properties against constant impacts make it a popular choice for many industries. Other advantages that polyethylene foam brings to both its manufacturers and users include thermal insulation and water-resistant characteristics, excellent buoyancy component, impervious to mould and bacteria, and high reusability and recyclability.
PE foam becomes the most cost-effective option not only for packaging solutions but for many other uses because it is easy to fabricate, is lightweight, ozone-friendly or CFC-free, and provides cube optimization. As such, polyethylene foam has become so diverse in its usage and is commonly opted for packing furniture, electronic items, computer parts, sporting goods, metal or glass products, even frozen foods, and many more. It is also widely used in industries like automotive, sports and leisure, construction, void fill, medical, military, recreational, agriculture and archery target. PE is also in demand as a protective layer for flotation equipment and other nautical products.
Such plentiful uses result in producing polyethylene foam with more or less seventy million tons every year globally. Manufacturers show commitment to not just safeguard consumer goods but more importantly, protect the environment.
