We offer different types of foam to meet your packaging needs.

Polyurethane Foam-  provides cushioning and protection to packaged products.  We carry a variety of density, thicknesses and grades.  Our most common packaging foam is the charcoal color.


                
Polyethylene foam-  is a very resilient foam used extensively in packaging. Applications include material handling, packaging, or electronic protection. We offer polyethylene sheets in a 1" and 2".


Other Polyethylene uses:  

Aerospace – Because of the closed cell, light-weight nature of polyethylene foam it is a very natural choice for the aerospace industry. Polyethylene foam offers superior resistance to vibration, compression, and moisture. It also has excellent resistance against UV and ozone and maintains its physical properties at both high and low temperatures. One of the most likely places to find closed cell foam in an aircraft would be sandwiched between bulkheads. It offers thermal insulation because of the foams closed cell construction, as well as sound dampening from the surrounding noise of the aircraft.

Flotation – Closed cell foam floats well because of the structure of the foam itself. The cells of the foam are closed meaning they are not inter-locking as in open cell foam structure. Because the foam cells are closed, the foam has good buoyancy in that the foam itself cannot become saturated with liquids causing it to sink. Uses for polyethylene in flotation applications include life jackets and other personal flotation devices. The less dense the material, the more buoyancy it provides. Closed cell foam is also used in water craft in much the same manner that it is used in the aerospace industry by placing it between the inner and outer hulls of boats ranging in size from small personal craft such as kayaks, to craft as large as speed boats and military attack craft.

Athletic Equipment – Polyethylene's excellent shock absorbing abilities make this foam a good choice as a component in athletic protective equipment.
