Extruded Polyethylene (PE)

Extruded polyethylene (PE) foam is a tough yet lightweight material that provides superior protective and cushioning properties. Made through a specialized extrusion process, this material features a closed-cell structure that resists moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure. With excellent shock absorption, impact resistance, and long-lasting resilience, extruded polyethylene (PE) is an ideal solution for applications requiring reliable protection and consistent performance. 

Extruded polyethylene (PE) foam is a highly versatile material valued across industries such as packaging, automotive, and manufacturing. With a range of densities from soft to firm and customizable thicknesses, extruded polyethylene (PE) foam can be tailored to fit specific performance requirements. Merryweather Foam’s expert team works closely with our customers to develop high-quality, custom polyethylene (PE) foam solutions that align with exact specifications, ensuring optimal performance.
