A type of polyethylene foam, thick PE foam is used in several industries for various purposes. This type of foam is denser and has a closed-cell structure. It is much thicker than standard foam. It is usually between 0.39 and 1.97 inches thick. This type of foam is very durable. It can also be processed at much lower temperatures than standard foams. Thick PE foam can also be processed using different blowing agents to change the foam’s density. Because of this, it is more easily moldable. Thick PE foam is much more effective at shock absorption than other foams. For these reasons, it is useful in many industries. In the automotive industry, thick PE foam is molded to different shapes to be used in door panels and other places for interior soundproofing. It can also be used in building and other places for soundproofing and to block outside temperatures.
