POLYETHYLENE FOAM ROLLS - IXPE - FORMSHIELD

Polyethylene Foam Rolls - IXPE - Formshield (also known as XPE and XLPE) is a cross-linked, closed-cell polyolefin foam used in concrete expansion joints and for gap filling for packaging, thermal barriers, spa top thermal blankets, marine uses, pipe insulation, acoustic insulation, duct insulation and many more. At 30kg/m3, it is waterproof, fire-retardant and has a low thermal conductivity. It is lightweight, flexible and soft to touch, yet strong and resilient for impact absorption. It is also resistant to moisture, many chemicals and extreme temperatures. IXPE rolls with a foil outer surface are often used in air conditioning ducting and in the lining of cabinets.

Used in a variety of applications in construction, industrial, automotive and marine industries. The rolls are 1000mm wide and available with or without a pressure sensitive adhesive backing in various foam thicknesses. With a low thermal conductivity, almost zero vapour permeability, fast and simple installation and trouble-free operation in a variety of internal and external environments. The material is flexible and compressible, and will not break or crack when used around curves or columns. The product is trouble-free and safe to handle, does not emit fibres, dust or other health hazards. It is easy to cut and drill on site and is the number one choice for sound and thermal insulation applications.
