LD33 Polyethylene Closed Cell – Cross Linked

LD33 offers much the same properties as LD45, although the density is slightly lower. To the untrained eye the differences are hardly noticeable. In addition, LD33 offers a slightly more economical premium finish. LD33 is ideal for flotations due to its lower density.

Available in Light Grey, Dark Grey, Blue, Navy Blue, Green, Spring Green, Red, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Hot Pink, Violet, Black, White, and combination of any of these colours.

LD15 through to HD110

LD15 through to HD110 available with varying densities, all available in Cross Linked or Non-Cross Linked

Also available as SD (Static Dissipative) this material allows a static charge to be dissipated over the surface area of the product and CN (Conductive) which allows a static charge to pass through the material.

XLPE and PA chemical Polyethylene Closed Cell – Cross Linked

XLPE and PA foam is an extremely fine celled foam. It offers all the same qualities as the LD range but as a denser foam with a smoother look and feel. It is often used as a more cost effective option to the LD range.

Standard packaging foam
Egg box foam

Standard Packaging Foam – Flexible Polyurethane Foam (FPF)

Our standard packing foam is a flexible polyurethane material widely used for general-purpose cushioning and protection. Lightweight, versatile, and cost-effective, it’s ideal for packaging items that require shock absorption without the rigidity of closed cell foams. Available in a range of densities and profiles – including convoluted (egg box) foam – this foam offers excellent compression and rebound properties.

Common applications of FPF include:

  • General product packaging
  • Protective case inserts
  • Furniture and upholstery cushioning
  • Medical padding
  • Acoustic and soundproofing panels
  • Air and fluid filtration systems

While not suitable for extreme heat or solvent exposure, standard packing foam is a practical, adaptable option for many industries.
