What is polyethylene foam?
Expanded polyethylene (EPE), is a thermoplastic resin material made by polymerizing ethylene. Polyethylene foam is a closed-cell structure material, and is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging material which can be recycle by professional polyethylene foam densifiers.
Polyethylene foam characteristics and applications
Packaging materials: polyethylene foam is widely used in electronic appliances, instrumentation, computers, audio, medical equipment, industrial control cabinets, lighting, handicrafts, glass, ceramics, home appliances, furniture and gift packaging, hardware products, toys, fruits, leather shoes Inner packaging, daily necessities and other product packaging.
Thermal insulation materials: Because polyethylene foam has the properties of water-proof, moisture-proof, shockproof, thermal insulation, plasticity, etc., it is widely used in elastic lined bags, cushions for breeding and thermal insulation, thermal insulation materials, thermal insulation materials, agricultural industrialization of mobile equipment, sports goods, Water rescue equipment operation, home, hotel floor decoration, etc.
Interior decoration materials: After adding anti-static agent and flame retardant, its anti-static performance is remarkable. Therefore, polyethylene foam and various fabric joint products can be used in air conditioners, vehicles and bedroom decoration materials. The composite products of polyethylene foam and aluminum foil or aluminized film have excellent infrared resistance.
Polyethylene foam recycling
The recycling of polyethylene foam has always been a headache due to its low density and high elasticity. GREENMAX ZEUS series polyethylene foam densifier is specially designed for waste PE foam recycling. The advantage is that it is equipped with a surface hot melt device. The polyethylene foam waste is first crushed into pieces by a crushing knife, then further compressed, and finally melted by a screw extruded to form compact blocks, the ZEUS series foam densifier can effectively prevent the crushed and compressed foam blocks from loosening again.
