MATERIALS
Polyethylene
Polyethylene foam is firm with a harder surface in comparison to polyurethane foam. It is a plastic-like material that is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture.
Uses
It is ideal for shipping in its ability to absorb shock and protect objects that require more security such as delicate items or heavy machine parts. This foam is known for its use in pool toys, but it is superior in transporting goods from manufacturer to suppliers and end users.
Benefits
Polyethylenes offer a wide range of densities, making it a versatile, cost-effective packaging material. Further, polyethylenes tend to be more durable and firm than many other foam packaging materials, enabling more effective custom designs for optimum packaging. Polyethylenes also are recyclable.
