Material Learning Center

POLYETHYLENE foams are a resilient closed-cell foam. They are strong and ideally suited for products that require buoyancy, shock absorption, vibration dampening and insulation. It has characteristics that provide optimal cushioning protection against repeated impacts. Because of the several varieties of densities and material types, it is one of the leading medical foams in the industry. Listed below are some of the added values of the polyethylene foams.

Closed Cell Polyethylene Foam
Lightweight
Shatter proof
Cost-effective
Easy to fabricate
Great buoyancy
Excellent strength, and tear resistant
Shock absorbing
Flexible
Resistant to mildew, mold, rot, and bacteria
Superior chemical & grease resistance
 
CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE foam is a closed cell polyethylene foam that has been chemically cross linked and is water resistant. It creates a smoother, more appealing feel with greater physical and chemical properties as opposed to a standard polyethylene foam.

This foam is offered in multiple varieties of densities and colors. It is also available in anti-static, conductive, and fire retardant formulations.

Utility-Based Foam Types
Polyethylene foams are rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents. It is used in a wide variety of applications such as packaging, labeling, and reusable containers of various types. Cross-linked polyethylene foam is another closed cell foam that has been chemically cross linked. It combines a smoother aesthetic feel with superior physical and chemical properties than standard polyethylene foam. This foam is available in a wide range of densities and several different colors. It is available in anti-static, conductive, and fire retardant formulations.

Coating Products
At Falls Industrial Foam we use Plasti-Dip as our main supplier of coating products. The coating has a variety of different colors and finishes and can be done on both open and closed-cell foams. The medical industry uses these coatings because they are reusable and resistant to many cleaning chemicals. Coating makes our products easy to clean because it eliminates textures and ridges that can hold bacteria. Applying coating also forms a barrier that repels liquid contaminants. The coatings can be applied by spraying and dipping.
