PE Foam
Low density polyethylene is mixed with a foaming agent and other components, and heat decomposed foaming agent to obtain polyethylene foam. While it has similar characteristics to both polyurethane foam and rubber sponge, it is superior to polyurethane foam in chemical resistance and weather resistance.
There are five products/series of polyethylene offered by INOAC: low foaming, high foaming, conductive type, open-cell, sheet.
| PE Type | Characteristics | |
|---|---|---|
| Low Foaming Ratio Series | Relatively hard ・ Has excellent weather durability and can withstand heavy loads | |
| High Foaming Ratio Series | Relatively hard ・ Has excellent weather durability and can withstand heavy loads | |
| Electro-conductive Type | Has a lower electrical resistance obtained using conductive additives | |
Open-cell Products |
Open-cell polyethylene foam with higher sealing and sound absorbing properties | |
| Sheet Products | Long Sheet products that can be fabricated with a wide range of processes such as vacuum forming or laminate processing |
