IXPE foam is developed and manufactured by electron beam cross-linking technology. The polyethylene is irradiated with an electron beam, and heated and foamed to 5 to 40 times to form a plate-like high foam.
IXPE foam is characterized by a nearly 100% closed cell structure, which has the characteristics of light weight and strong rigidity, and can exert many excellent properties such as heat insulation, cushioning, heat resistance, and flame retardancy.
IXPE foam is cross linked by irradiation. The polyethylene resin is heated and foamed to 5 to 30 times to form a completed independent-cell-structure foam. Almost 100% of the independent cells are closed cell and during foaming process, the air went into the cell so that the foam material expanded both in width and thickness.
IXPE foam has a nearly 100% closed cell structure and it is light weight.
Various processes such as cutting, stamping, and pressure forming can be easily realized. It is widely used in various fields such as automotive interior materials, building base materials, air-conditioning insulation materials to pipeline materials, packaging/logistics industry, insulation industry, sports/daily goods, medical, etc.,
“I” refers to irradiated
“X” refers to cross linking
“PE” refers to polyethylene resin
So IXPE foam means irradiated cross linked polyethylene foam
