What is Polyethylene (PE)?

Polyethylene foam is a lightweight closed-cell foam made from polyethylene plastic. By varying density and formulation, PE foam can be engineered to deliver durable, cost-effective cushioning with fire-retardant and anti-static options available across broad density range from 1.2 to 9 lbs. These performance characteristics make it well suited for general protective packaging, case interiors, part separation, and cushioning applications.
