Production of EPE foams is similar to that of expanded polystyrene, but starting with PE beads. Typical densities are 29 to 120 kg/m3 (49 to 202 lb/cu yd) with the lower figure being common. Densities as low as 14 kg/m3 (24 lb/cu yd) can be produced.
Description
Specification
Expanded polyethylene foam, also known as EPE, is a molded semi-rigid, non-crosslinked, closed-cell polyethylene foam that is often denser and stronger than its open-cell counter parts. Molded EPE planks are made with a very uniform cell structure.
