Irradiation cross-linked polyethylene foam (also know as IXPE FOAM), is possessed with
excellent tensile strength, elongation ratio, tear strength, as well as water absorption. Due to the raw material of low-density polyethylene is made to the independent cells by electronic irradiation, so its has better strength than non crosslinked polyethylene foam.
Features of irradiation cross-linked polyethylene foam
Moisture-proof
independent closed-cell structure with less than 0.01g/cm3 water absorption rate
Shock absorption
to improve the unevenness with the comfortable feel
Fast&easy installation
Good thermal conductivity as low as 0.038 W/M.K
Irradiation cross-linked polyethylene foam is commonly used in the following applications:
1) Construction floor underlay
2) Medical device such as ECG pad
3) Athletic padding and helmet lining
