Polyethylene is a thermoplastic foam material and is the most commonly used type of foam to protect equipment during transport and is particularly good for case interiros, foam inserts and for Flight cases. Our PE foam is of the type cross-linked foam. Cross-linked PE foam is characterized by having a fine, regular and closed cell structure and therefore has a smooth surface that does not absorb moisture.

It is termed as “closed cell foam” as these nitrogen cells are not open / connected like a sponge. This also means that gases and liquids are not easily absorbed into the material.. Can be supplied both as ESD foam (ESD) and fire retardant foam (FR).

We primarily use foam from Zotefoam and stock the qualities Plastazote LD29, Plastazote LD45 (Several colors), Plastazote LD32N and Plastazote LD60. We offer other qualities to order such as XPE foam.

Properties of PE foam (polyethylene)

• Does not absorb moisture
• Unique and clean manufacturing process
• High insulating capacity (0.034 – 0.036 W/mK)
• No chemical substances in the foam (Nitrogen blown) and a consistency of cell structure and density enable Zotefoams to offer the world's lightest cross-linked foam as well as the cleanest cross-linked
• Densities from 15 – 60 kg/m3
• Lightweight material
• Many coloursr
• ​Can be supplied in material thicknesses from 1mm - 400mm
• Hardness which enables complex constructions.
