Two Types of LDPFExtrudedExtruded polyethylene foam is a material used mainly in car seats and mattresses. It is also used in packaging, insulation, and many other applications. Polyethylene foam is made by extruding polyethylene into long, thin strands that are then wound into a coil form. The coil then undergoes a series of processes to create a dense, uniform foam.
Cross-LinkedCross-linked low-density polyethylene foams are polyethylene foams that have been connected with a special agent to create a more rigid polymer foam. They are used in many applications, from packaging, construction, and automotive applications to industrial and environmental uses.
Applications of Low-Density Polyethylene FoamPackagingLow-density polyethylene foam is often used in packaging because it is cheap and can easily be cut with a knife to make a box. It is also often used as padding because it is softer than other materials and can be used to reduce the weight of the item that is being packaged.
Surface ProtectionTo achieve good surface protection, polyethylene foam is used in various ways, typically using it as a durable and easy-to-transport material. Examples of using polyethylene foam include filling in a hole in the ground to create a foundation, filling in crevices on walls and floors, and filling in cracks around windows.
Void FillersLow-density polyethylene foam is often used as a void filler in construction projects because it is a thermal insulator with sound-proofing qualities.
Blocking and BracingPolyethylene foam is often used in construction work to block spaces and provide bracing. It is also used to insulate and can be used as a molding.
