What is EPE foam?

What is EPE foam? EPE is also known as polyethylene foam cotton. Polyethylene is an elastic material that will return to shape after compression, while still producing sufficient yield strength to provide cushioning and safety when needed.

EPE foam is a harmless plastic with no taste or smell. Its light weight and flexible packaging materials are very popular. It can be used in different products with different densities. When the density is higher, the hole wall is smaller and thicker, which will produce a stronger coating effect.

EPE foam is formed by heating high molecular compounds and can accept additives in its formulation before heating and extruding into a solid state to change its properties. With antistatic function. Anti-static properties can form and damage the electrostatic charge of components by spreading, which helps to package, handle and transport sophisticated electronic products. Like other bubbles (EPS Styrofoam).

EPE foam characteristics:

1. Extremely flexible:

Compared with other cushioning materials, EPE foam is a very soft material. Therefore, EPE provides maximum protection for objects with abnormal shapes.

2. Excellent shock absorption performance:

The closed-cell structure of EPE foam makes it able to withstand and absorb a large amount of impact or stress, and provides good cushioning for the objects it covers.

3. Easily restore the state :

EPE foam can quickly restore its original shape after eliminating the source of pressure or impact. It is not easy to be broken, cracked or broken.

4. Chemical resistance:

EPE foam is highly resistant to highly corrosive chemicals such as solvents, acids, and alkalis, which makes it suitable for providing barriers or shielding to provide additional protection when storing and handling these chemicals.

5. Water resistance / moisture resistance:

The chemical structure of EPE foam makes it almost impermeable. Therefore, EPE does not absorb water or pass it through. Therefore, it can be used as a material for waterproof protection.

6. Antistatic property:

 Some forms of EPE are highly antistatic, so they do not attract dust and other tiny particles to their surface.

7. Insulation performance:

 The thermal conductivity of EPE is very low, so it can provide the best thermal insulation performance.

8. Non-toxic and food safety:

EPE is non-toxic, so it can be used for food packaging, and it also resists the growth of microorganisms and fungi on its surface.

9. Easy to handle:

 EPE foam is quite easy to use. It is easy to cut, mold, shape and stick to other objects or to itself. It can be easily molded into various objects without using expensive equipment or molds.

Bubble bag price analysis.  The budget-conscious friends will make good use of Google search for packaging materials such as bubble paper, bubble paper, bubble bag, bubble cloth, etc. Price comparison, bubble bags have the same size but different prices, traditional bubble bags are divided into 3 grades: A grade > B grade> C grade.  There is a clear gap between these prices in the market.  We have actually tested and found that although the traditional bubble paper market price is cheap, it is actually not cost-effective. The strong bubble bag not only saves money and effort.
