Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)

For applications that demand durability, flexibility, and high-performance, Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) stands out as a top choice for foam manufacturing. Known for its lightweight structure and exceptional resistance, Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) foam is a specific type of closed-cell foam material created from polyethylene. The closed-cell structure of cross linked polyethylene foam ensures superior moisture resistance, shock absorption, and long-lasting durability.

Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) can be purchased in rolls, sheets, or finished parts (with or without adhesive). With customizable densities and thicknesses, XLPE foam is ideal for custom foam products used in sealing, cushioning, and protective applications. It delivers consistent performance across industries including medical, automotive, and packaging. Merryweather Foam delivers tailored Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) foam solutions that leverage its versatility to meet your unique requirements.
