What is PE45 Foam?
PE45 foam is a type of polyethylene foam with a density of 45 kg/m³, making it one of the denser, more resilient foams available. Its closed-cell structure means it doesn’t absorb water or chemicals, and it offers excellent impact resistance. This foam is commonly used in industrial settings, custom cases, and packaging solutions where rugged protection is a priority. Best for: Heavy-duty protection, industrial use, and sensitive equipment.

Benefits of Using PE45 Foam Inserts
- Superior Impact Resistance: PE45 foam can absorb and distribute impact energy effectively, making it perfect for applications where equipment or fragile items need heavy-duty protection.
- Moisture and Chemical Resistance: Since PE45 foam does not absorb water or most chemicals, it’s ideal for environments where moisture, oils, or other liquids are present. This also makes it easy to clean and maintain.
- Customizable for Various Applications: PE45 foam can be easily customized into any shape or size, making it adaptable for a wide range of products, from industrial tools to delicate electronics.
- Long-Lasting Durability: Thanks to its high compression strength and resilience, PE45 foam maintains its structural integrity over time, providing continuous protection even after repeated use.
