PE-Layer is an extruded, non-cross-linked EPE foam. It is a cost-effective cellular plastic often used as disposable packaging. The material has good shock-absorbing properties, making it ideal for divider sheets or pallet liners.
The material can be melted to create a 3D packaging solution in which the material itself serves as the lamination between the layers. The cellular plastic is available in rolls and as thicker planks, and is extruded with a skin on both sides.
The material is available in an antistatic version, making it ideal for packaging electrical products such as enclosures, circuit boards, and other electronics.
The antistatic material is pink in color to distinguish it from the traditional white, gray, and black versions.
When you need large quantities of cellular plastic
If you need large quantities of packaging at an affordable price, this material is recommended. Unlike other types, such as Styrofoam or polystyrene, the PE layer does not break apart during handling.
The material can also be effectively reused multiple times as returnable or internal packaging where the weight does not crush the material. The cellular plastic is available in various densities, making it suitable for packaging different types of products. The PE layer is available in lower densities for cost-effectiveness, as well as in higher densities for packing heavier items without crushing the material.
The material is used in a variety of industries, with the automotive industry accounting for the largest share of consumption, where it is commonly referred to as “one-way foam” or “foam blocks.”
