Extra-Tough Super-Cushioning Polyethylene Foam Sheets and Strips
These sheets and strips are made of cross-linked polyethylene, so they are stronger and more chemical resistant than other types of polyethylene foam. They also have excellent buoyancy and resist mildew. These sheets and strips are widely used in packaging applications to absorb shock and damp vibration. Foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.

Food Industry Super-Cushioning Polyethylene Foam Sheets
Made of FDA-listed materials, these polyethylene foam sheets are often used as packaging for food products to absorb shock and damp vibration. Polyethylene foam offers better resistance to chemicals than polyurethane foam and is also superior when insulating packaged objects from external temperatures. Foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed. These sheets have an ultra-smooth texture for a sleek surface that's easy to wipe down.
Adhesive-back sheets are made of polyethylene that is FDA compliant; however, their adhesive does not meet these specifications.

Laminated Super-Cushioning
Polyurethane/Polyethylene Foam Sheets and Strips
These dual-material foam sheets and strips have ultra-soft polyurethane foam on one side and chemical-resistant polyethylene foam on the other. They are widely used in packaging applications to absorb shock and damp vibration. The polyurethane foam has open-cell construction, which allows water, air, and gases to be absorbed. The polyethylene foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.

Tool-Organizing Foam
Know at a glance when a tool is missing from a toolbox with this dual-color foam. Using your tools as a template, cut shapes out of the adhesive-backed piece of foam with a utility knife, then adhere it to the uncut piece. When someone removes a tool, the uncut sheet becomes visible to indicate the open space. Foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.

Static-Control Chemical-Resistant Polyethylene Foam Sheets
Protect electronic components from electrostatic shocks and chemicals while safeguarding them from bumps and drops during shipping and storing. This closed-cell polyethylene foam is more chemical and puncture resistant than open-cell polyurethane foam, but is not as impact resistant. It’s also great for insulating items from external temperatures. The closed-cell construction means it won’t absorb water, air, and gases.
Treated with additives, antistatic foam will not generate static charges. Its antistatic properties will diminish over time, however, so it’s commonly used for one-time shipping applications. This foam is pink to identify it as antistatic.
Conductive foam safely diverts static charges away from parts, and does not generate static electricity. Containing carbon, it keeps its conductive properties, so it’s reusable and good for long-term storing applications.
