Closed Cell Polyethylene Foam
Polyethylene foam is a chemically resistant closed cell foam with low water absorption. This material is the ideal economical gasketing, sealing, or insulating solutions.
Applications include: Gasketing, sealing, insulation, spacers, packaging, floatation devices.
- Economical closed-cell foam
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Good insulation characteristics
- Seals moisture
- General purpose foam
