Polyethylene is a “closed cell” foam featuring superb durability, shock absorption and abrasion resistance characteristics. In addition, it is odorless, buoyant, and does not absorb liquids—making it particularly effective for recreational/athletic equipment, water sports and flotation equipment. Being resistant to most solvents and chemicals gives it a natural advantage in agricultural, construction, and industrial applications.

Polyethylene foam can be engineered to fit nearly every type of protective packaging need. Its strength and ability not to fracture under stress allows the foam to be reused multiple times. Polyethylene is perfect for reverse logistics applications and products that ship to several locations before reaching the end-user.  Polyethylene (LDPE) is recyclable and can be converted into the recycled resins used by plastic bottlers or plastic bag manufacturers.

Expanded polystyrene foam, made from small “beads”, can be hot wired or glued to specific sizes and shapes. Polystyrene foam offers high compressive strength and excellent thermal properties. Its ease of fabrication makes it ideal for box liners, platforms, displays, inner package support, cushioning and corner pads. It is also recyclable or can be used as a filling for stuffed animals.
