PE30 - Polyethylene Foam Sheets
Description
Polyethylene (PE30) foam is a strong and resilient closed-cell foam. Ideally suited as the material or a component material in shock absorbing products, this closed-cell foam padding is also a great way to dampen the effects of vibration. Closed cell polyethylene foam has a variety of common applications in furniture, automotive, marine and many other industries.
PE foam has better thermal properties than EVA. PE's low thermal conductivity gives it excellent heat resistance, making it a good insulating material for walls, ceilings and roofs. PE foams have a variety of applications ranging from sports equipment and packaging to soundproofing and insulation. Polyethylene foam remains the choice material for applications that put a premium on cost-effectiveness over durability. Examples of these include packaging, carpet underlays, luggage lining, car door panels and car seats.

Properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
Closed-Cell Lightweight Cellular Plastic
EPS is made up of tiny, closed-cell structures filled with air, making it lightweight yet strong. This structure provides excellent insulation and moisture resistance.
Flame/Fire Retardant
Many EPS products are manufactured with fire-retardant additives, making them self-extinguishing when exposed to flames. This improves safety, especially in construction and insulation applications.
Excellent Floatation Properties
Due to its closed-cell structure, EPS has exceptional buoyancy and is widely used in marine applications across Queensland, such as flotation devices, buoys, pontoons, and boat docks.
Shock Absorbing Properties
EPS is often used in protective packaging and cushioning due to its ability to absorb shocks and impacts, protecting fragile products during shipping and handling.
Low Environmental Impact
EPS is 100% recyclable and does not release harmful chemicals during its lifecycle. Additionally, its lightweight nature reduces fuel consumption during transportation, making it an eco-friendly choice in construction and packaging.
Benefits of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
Cost-Effective
EPS is affordable and widely available, making it a cost-effective material for insulation, construction, and packaging compared to alternatives like fiberglass or rigid polyurethane foam.
Easy to Use & Handle
Due to its lightweight nature, EPS sheets and blocks are easy to transport, cut, and shape, reducing labor costs and installation time.
Superior Thermal Insulation
EPS provides excellent thermal resistance (R-value), making it a preferred material for wall insulation, roofing, and flooring in buildings, helping reduce heating and cooling costs.
Water and Moisture Resistance
The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, making EPS ideal for outdoor and underground applications, such as drainage systems, foundations, and flotation devices.
Versatile Applications
EPS is used across various industries, including construction, civil engineering, packaging, marine, signage, landscaping, and theming for movie sets. It can be custom-cut into different shapes and profiles, making it highly adaptable.
Durable & Long-Lasting
EPS does not rot, degrade, or break down over time, ensuring long-term performance in insulation and structural applications.
