XPE Foam 170
Chemically Cross-linked Medium Density Polyethylene Foam ( or XPE Foam 170)
What is XPE?
XPE foam (Polyethylene) is chemically crosslinked polyethylene foam product. Crosslinking the PE foam makes it more resistant against certain substances like chemicals and also high ratio of heat resilience. Therefore, due to crosslinking feature, the surface of foam becomes considerably smooth and soft moreover making it a lot more flexible and light.
Advantages
Good Aging Resistance, High Elasticity and Smooth Surface, Lightweight, Chemical Corrosion and Heat Resilience, Highest Density.
Disadvantages
High Water Absorption Ratio, Harmful for health, Costly.
