Cross-Linked PE Foam
We introduce to you Cross-linked PE 70-120 in this page. Chemically or Physically Cross-linked Polyethylene Rubber
Chemically or Physically Cross-linked PE 70-120 foam is a modified foam developed by mixing PE foam with multiple substances in the boiling phase. Or re-compressing it under controlled heat and force in order to create denser and stronger foam though with the same thickness as the primary PE.
Advantages
Water and non-acidic liquids Resistance, Higher Density with Lighter Weight, Abrasion & Corrosion and Heat Resilience, Shock and Force Resistant
Disadvantages
High Water Absorption Ratio, Harmful for health, Costly.

Cross-Linked PE Foam Comprehensive Guide and Applications
The Making Procedure and comprehensive information regarding Cross-linked PE 70-120 Foam:
It starts with the manufacturing process of PE foam. Then, the procedure splits into two different cross-linking methods based on the needs of the costumers. So, it depends on whether they have preference of implementing non-toxic but lower density foam product (still higher than the normal PE). Or the chemically cross-linked foam which offers the highest densities possible among all foam or rubber types. Though at the cost of the product being unhealthy and noxious for almost all living beings.
In the physically cross-linking procedure, the finalized PE foam sheet is pressurized again before cooling under heat and constant pressing. So it causes foam molecules to be compressed closer to each other. As a result, the procedure reduces the thickness of the product. Although it becomes denser than the normal manufactured PE foam with the same dimensions.
The chemically cross-linking procedure does not affect the thickness of the product. But, instead, it will fill the gaps between the molecules of polyethylene making it denser than ever but keeping the weight and dimensions the same. The additive for cross-linking process is Vinyl Acetate. This substance is highly relatable. So, it makes the product softer, stronger and denser.
In comparison with many other foams, Cross-Linked PE is less affordable. The reason is firstly the difficult and highly professional manufacturing process. And, secondly the density of the products that is higher than the same ranks in the other foam types like EVA, NBR or EPDM.
Most effective applications and Implementations of Cross-linked PE 70-120 foam:
• Office or Home Appliances
• Military and Defense
• Electronics Devices (Chemically Cross-Linked)
• Sports and Protective Pads
Also we have:
• Potting and Packaging (Chemically Cross-Linked)
• Medical Purposes
• Construction
• Oil and Petroleum Industry (Chemically Cross-Linked)
The diversity in the applications of cross-linked PE foam makes it favorable by many industries. These industries include military, mechanical and civil engineering, electrical purposes, healthcare and medical intentions. it also includes the oil industry where the origin of foam products roots there.
