Applications of XPE foam sheet

Properties of XPE foam for steel pipe coating:

Water and moisture resistance: The closed-cell structure prevents water and moisture penetration, which is ideal for protecting steel from corrosion.

Chemical resistance: XPE foam resists damage from oils and solvents, making it suitable for industrial environments.

Impact absorption: It provides strong impact damping and vibration control, protecting the steel pipe from physical stress.

Durability and flexibility: The cross-linking process makes the foam durable and resistant to wear and tearing, while remaining flexible enough to be easily shaped and applied to the pipe.

Lightweight: It is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for ease of installation.

XPE Chemical Crosslinked Foam sheet/Roll FAQ

1.What is XPE foam sheet ?

XPE (chemically crosslinked polyethylene) foam is produced in continuous rolls, resulting in a uniform, closed-cell structure with smooth skins on both sides. It is lightweight, flexible, and soft to the touch, while being strong, tough, resilient, and resistant to moisture, many chemicals, and extreme temperatures.Compared to non-crosslinked polyethylene foam, XPE offers superior thermal stability, better insulating properties, and enhanced dimensional consistency and stability across a variety of fabrication methods and end-user conditions.XPE foams are commonly used as insulation and sound-absorbing materials in various container designs. They are easy to fabricate and thermoform, making them ideal for applications in the building and construction industry, where thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and sound and vibration control are crucial.Whether for indoor or outdoor use, XPE foams are an excellent choice for building success. They are also widely used in products like backpack padding, luggage, and other applications, benefiting from a range of vibrant colors and variable densities.

2.Applicable processing technology

♦Hot press molding: place the baked material in a mold of a certain shape, hot press, and cool to shape.

♦Blister molding: heat the mold, then put the sheet or coil material into the mold, evacuate the air, and cool to shape.

♦Thermal bonding process: The materials of different materials are heated and compounded with IXPE.

♦Punching process: punch the material into the shape required by the customer through hydraulic punching machine, CNC engraving machine, etc.

♦Lamination process: use PE (polyethylene) as the medium to compound different materials with IXPE

♦Embossing process: the IXPE is pressed out of the pattern through the roller

3.Who are you?

Topsun, the Professional supplier for the Foams, we can provide a variety of foam products, such as EVA foam, PE foam, neoprene foam, EPDM foam and NBR foam.At the same time, we have advanced processing capabilities to convert foam into the products you need.

4.What kinds of foam materials we can supply ?

We can supply :EVA foam, PE foam, XPE foam, IXPE foam, CR foam, EPDM foam, Neoprene foam, SBR foam, NBR foam, Micro-cell soft PVC foam. All of them we can supply in sheet and roll.

5.What's the processing capacity we have ?

1. Cutting - cutting the size as per client’s request

2. Slicing - Slicing the thickness as per client’s request

3. Lamination - hot melt film lamination, flame lamination, and pressure-sensitive adhesive lamination

4. Laser Vibrator - New type cutting machine, can cut the foam drawing without open molds

5. Die cutting - Open molds as per your design then at first, use die cutting machine to produce, it’s quicker than laser vibrator.

6. Compression Molding - Compression molding is a process we utilizes for the manufacturing of three-dimensional molded foam and foam composite parts. It is an ideal process for making parts that have intricate features, require very defined part geometry, have varying wall thicknesses or need to be held to critical dimensional tolerances.

7. Engraving machine - Usually to make tool box insert and packing insert as per client’s requests.

8. Silk-screen printing - Print logos and patterns on the surface of foam products

9. Adhesive backing - Gluing on the surface of the foam with liners. Usually produce foam tapes and other products need to stick on.
