Polyethylene foam, also known as EPE, is a molded semi-rigid,
non-crosslinked, closed-cell polyethylene foam that is
often denser and stronger than its open-cell counter parts.
Molded EPE planks are made with a very uniform cell structure. The
consistent cell structure results in a foam with superior
physical properties that have the same multi-directional mechanical
values. This creates a material that cuts more consistently,
has significantly less concavity and shrinkage when die cutting, as
well as, cleaner, more precise cuts when CNC cutting or
machining.
Having higher strength to weight ratios than Extruded Polyethylene
and Crosslink Polyethylene allows you to use less EPE,
resulting in thinner walls and smaller overall package sizes with
less dimensional weight.

* Multiple strike energy management
* Dimensional stability
* Impact and shock absorption
* Vibration dampening
* Excellent compressive creep properties
* Shatter Proof
* Bacteria, chemical, grease, mold, oil and solvent-resistant
* Less concavity when die-cut (compared to PE and XLPE)
* Coast Guard approved
* CFC-free
* Ozone friendly
* Sonic transmission control
