Custom Shape Polyethylene XPE Foam XLPE Foam Idpe Material For
Surfing
XPE / XLPE foam is chemically cross-linked PE foam. It is produced
in continuous rolls to form a foam product with uniform, closed
cells and smooth skins on both sides. It is lightweight, flexible
and soft to touch, yet is stretchy, resistant to moisture, a wide
range of chemicals and temperature extremes.
The PE polymer is foamed at high temperature after extrusion, and
is crosslinked and foamed at the same time. It is the ideal foam
for application where support and durability are critical.

FAQ:
Q1:Is XLPE foam recyclable?
Due to it is crosslinked and close cell, it is hard to recyclable.
But the wasted pe foam could be reused again, like to be remade
to be mattress, underlay, furniture filling etc
Q2:Does your foam work with adhesives?
Our foam does work well with adhesives. PE foam tape is one of the
foam application
Q3:Does the foam float?
Due to the closed cell structure, PE foam is a water-resistant
foam.
Q4:What applications could the XPE and IXPE foam applied for?
A lot. Automotive NVH; PE foam tape; Building insulation; HVAC
insulation; Electronic; Sports protection; Flooring underlay;etc.
