Research Summary

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is a lightweight, closed-cell foam material made from polyethylene resin. It is created through a process of heating and expanding the plastic using gas, resulting in a foam structure with numerous small, interconnected cells. EPE foam is known for its excellent cushioning and shock-absorbing properties, making it ideal for various packaging and protective applications, including as padding for delicate items during shipping, in protective cases, and as insulation in construction. It is soft, flexible, and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation, which contributes to its versatility and durability in a wide range of industries, including electronics, automotive, and sports equipment.
