Uses of Polyethylene Foam Profiles
Polyethene foam profiles are often used during transit to protect furniture corners, photo frames, glass, electronic equipment and medical and scientific equipment. Our foam edge protectors provide cushioning to the corners of your products, which are often knocked during transit and delivery.
Environmental Impact
Is it recyclable?
Yes, it is recyclable! Our foam profiles are produced using recycled materials and can be reused – they are ideal for storage when the product or product box rests on the product corners.
Is it fire resistant?
No, it is not fire-resistant like most foam products. However, it will only burn if flames are already present or if it’s subjected to being close to very high temperatures.
Is it made from toxic materials?
Polyethene is non-toxic when it’s in its solid form.
