Cellular polyethylene is a material that has undergone extensive development in recent years. Thanks to all the new properties that have been developed—ranging from semi-closed-cell (very soft) to nearly rock-hard variants, high fire resistance, and improved temperature resistance—this material can now be used in a very wide range of applications. This type of material is suitable for seals, insulation, and packaging materials, to name just a few applications.
Seals against moisture and coldA Material with Multiple Benefits
Cellular plastic provides a barrier against condensation, cold, moisture, and water, and is also available in a version that meets the UL-94 standard, which has strict fire resistance requirements. Sports and leisure is another area of application, where the material is used as shock absorbers in sports equipment, camping mats, and yoga mats. It is also used in pull-stops, shock-absorbing applications, and packaging. For cost-effective packaging solutions, we recommend non-cross-linked polyethylene with or without antistatic properties.
