Flexibility

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is highly flexible, ensuring it doesn't break or crack during extensive handling and transportation. Its softness and flexibility allow EPE to wrap around products, providing protection where other materials cannot reach. This makes EPE an ideal choice for safeguarding items during transit.

Weight

Resilience

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) can deform under load and recover almost completely once the load is removed, making it excellent for shock absorption. This property, crucial for cushioning materials, is measured in terms of the 'G' factor and depends on the product's 'G' fragility factor. However, EPE foam is suitable only for lower load applications.

Damping

When compressed with a certain load and then released, Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) comes to rest without oscillations, demonstrating excellent damping properties. This ability to stabilize quickly enhances its effectiveness in protective packaging. EPE's superior damping performance ensures reliable shock absorption for delicate items.

Water-Absorption

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is non-hygroscopic, ensuring that its properties such as cushioning value, resilience, flexibility, and corrosion resistance remain unaffected by moisture. Additionally, EPE is nearly waterproof, providing robust protection against water damage. These characteristics make EPE an ideal material for various protective packaging applications.

Water Vapor Transmission Rate

Since Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is non-hygroscopic, its properties such as cushioning value, resilience, flexibility, and corrosion resistance remain stable. EPE's nearly waterproof nature further enhances its protective capabilities. These attributes make EPE an excellent choice for durable and reliable packaging solutions.

Thermal Insulation

Expanded Polyethylene being a plastic and especially of foam is an excellent thermal insulation material for low temperature application. Thermal insulating properties enhanced by low water absorption and low water vapor transmission rates allowing it a wide range of application in refrigeration and air-conditioning.

Abrasive Characteristic

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) exhibits zero abrasion properties, making it ideal for packing smooth, precision, and highly polished surface products. This non-abrasive quality ensures that delicate surfaces remain unscathed during transit. EPE provides reliable protection without compromising the integrity of polished items.

Buoyancy

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) exhibits zero abrasion properties, making it ideal for packing smooth, precision, and highly polished surface products. This ensures that delicate surfaces remain unscathed during handling and transportation. EPE provides reliable protection without compromising the integrity of polished items.

Chemical Resistance

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is inert to almost all chemicals, including strong acids, ensuring robust chemical resistance. The exceptions to this inertness are Toluene, Benzene, and Carbon Tetrachloride. This chemical resilience makes EPE a versatile material for various protective and industrial applications.

Microbial Free

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is non-hygroscopic and lacks nutritional value, ensuring it does not attract insects such as ants, cockroaches, and termites. Additionally, it prevents the development of mold and fungus. These properties make EPE an ideal choice for hygienic and durable packaging solutions.

Antistatic

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is naturally antistatic and dust-resistant. Special antistatic grade sheets can be tailored for electronic packaging, shielding against environmental electric charges, ensuring safe transport and storage.

Non-Toxic

Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) is entirely non-toxic, guaranteeing no adverse effects on the packed product. Its inert nature ensures that no harmful chemicals leach into or interact with the contents, maintaining product safety and integrity. This quality makes EPE a reliable choice for packaging food, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive items.

Working Temperature Range

Expanded Polyethylene allows a working temperature range from -500C to 700C. As can be seen from the above properties, Expanded Polyethylene Is a wonderful packaging and thermal insulating material as against the conventional materials like wood wool, paper shaving, craft paper, honey comb, rubberized coir, PU foam, , thermal coal and air bubbles
