Inserts made of PE-foam
Polyethylene-foam is often used for its physical features in order to present and transport different products in containers – e.g. cardboards, drawers, cases etc. The special features of PE-foam are as follows:
- light weighted and durable
- resistant against many chemicals
- non-toxic
- odourless
- variety of colours
- fine-celled
- from soft and flexible to stiff and solid structure
- outstanding impact-resistant feature
- low internal tension
- no migration of residual foaming agents (prevents the tarnish of precious metals)
Polyethylene-foams are available in different densities. They are foamed in free surrounding (which functions similar to the backing of bread) and have a low internal tension. The foamed block has a relatively homogeneous structure but like other backed subjects, the foam cells in the outer areas of the block are different in their density and size than the core cells. This explains the small differences of the foam plates cut from the block and is not avoidable. The customer has to accept these differences of the material.
