To create a durable bond the polymers are chained together and heated to make the cross linked structure.
Closed cell cross linked polyethylene foam.
Cross linked polyethylene foam is a closed cell foam with a compact feel and a resistance to water.
It has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect class a surfaces and is consequently used extensively in the packaging of medical products and equipment.
Closed cell cross linked polyethylene foam cross linked polyethylene foam also known as xlpe is a closed cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water.
With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties cross linked polyethylene foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell foam.
It is also used as packaging and in flotation equipment with its low moisture permeability and high buoyancy.
It boasts a smooth and pleasant feel combined with outstanding chemical and physical properties which makes it the preferred solution for several applications where thicker sections of closed cell foam are required.
Cross linked polyethylene foam is exceptionally fine celled and suitable for projects that require thicker foam.
Cross linked polyethylene foams are manufactured in both continuous roll and bun forms.
The rolls can be manufactured in densities ranging from 2 lb cubic foot to 20 lb cubic foot.
Cross linked foam rolls are extruded at a thickness from 1 32 to approximately 5 thick.
With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties cross linked polyethylene foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell foam.
With its closed cell density xlpe works well commercially as thermal insulation construction expansion joints and industrial gaskets.
Cross linked polyethylene is commercially used for thermal insulation expansion joints and industrial gaskets.
