Let our experts guide you on the best choice for you, based on how you’d like it to perform.

‍

Non cross-linked polyethylene

This material is recommended for high-value products over 10 kilos. Because of the thinner cushions needed, designs using this material often have cheaper cartons and therefore reduced shipping costs.

‍
It resists tearing, cracking, crumbling and creep. It’s moisture-resistant and is virtually unaffected by most industrial chemicals. It springs back after repeated impacts, loading and flexing, no matter how heavy the part. It can be washed with soap and water. Economical die-cutting and sawing are all that is typically needed to fabricate a custom fit.

Pros

• Multiple impact protection
• Flexible
• Lightweight
• Higher load bearing
• Chemically resistant
• Easily fabricated

Cons

• Requires fabrication
• Porous
• Slightly abrasive

Cross-linked polyethylene

This product is best for die-cutting to display, or for case inserts.

We also supply sheets of:
• 2400 x 1200 mm
• in a range of 5 to 100 mm thick
• colour white, grey, yellow, blue, lime or purple

Cross-linked polyethylene foam

Flexible polyurethane

This foam is 97% air, 3% plastic and contains only carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen molecules. Main use in bedding and upholstering. It is ideal for packaging electronic goods and computers when very low levels of shock (less than 40 G’s) are required.

We can supply you with a shock absorbing polyurethane foam pad that you can either glue onto a die-cut cardboard carrier or fabricated end piece to act as a product buffer. Technically it falls into the flexible thermoset foam group.

Recycling by shredding into crumb and bonded into sheet for carpet underlay. Contact us if you would like any other technical information.

Flexible polyurethane foam

Convoluted polyurethane

Convoluted polyurethane has varied uses from case lids to sound proofing. It is also called egg crate foam owing to the visual shape. We can provide convoluted foam in various convolutions such as 10/20, 20/40 and 20/50mm. It can be cut to suitable sizes as per your need. It is available in different densities and grade. It is often used in lids of cases and in sound proofing. The sheet size is 2057 x 1422 mm.

Got Questions About Our Products?

Choosing the right foam

What's the difference between polyethylene and polyurethane foam?

Polyethylene is firmer and more chemical/moisture-resistant, suited to heavier or industrial use; polyurethane (including convoluted "egg crate" foam) is softer and often used for cushioning, case lids, and sound absorption.

What is convoluted foam used for?

Also called egg crate foam, common in case lids and soundproofing, available in 2000x1500mm sheets at 10/20, 15/25, and 20/50mm convolutions.

What is anti-static foam, and when do I need it?

Non-cross-linked or polyurethane anti-static foam is recommended for packaging or case inserts protecting electronics or components sensitive to static discharge.

I'm not sure which foam is right for my application. Can you help?

Yes, tell us how the foam needs to perform (weight, impact, static sensitivity, budget), and our team will recommend the best fit.

What sheet sizes do you stock?

Non-cross-linked foam: 2750 x 600 x 50mm, in white and charcoal. Cross-linked foam: 2400 x 1200 x 50–55mm (30kg/m³ density) and 2000 x 1000 x 50mm (45kg/m³ density). Everything can also be custom-cut to your required dimensions.
