Apollo Foam provides innovative, custom engineered polyethylene foam solutions globally

At Apollo Foam, we specialise in converting non-cross-linked polyethylene foam into tailored solutions to meet our customers’ specific requirements.

Non-cross linked Polyethylene foam, also known as PE foam, is manufactured in sheets and rolls with a wide range of densities and colours, available both in the UK and worldwide.

Non-Cross Linked polyethylene foam can be produced in two very distinct ways, the first being extruded and laminated, and the second being fully extruded.

Non-Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam – The Gentle Alternative

Non-Cross Linked Polyethylene foam is a gentle alternative to more traditional types of packaging like corrugated paper etc.

Non-cross-linked Polyethylene foam offers a gentler alternative to traditional packaging materials like corrugated paper. It is available in various densities, ranging from 18kg per cubic metre to 144kg per cubic metre. This foam is typically found in black, white, and pink anti-static variants.

Non-cross linked polyethylene foam is manufactured in three very different formats.

The first being a fully extruded plank with no laminations at either 600mm x 2750mm or 1200mm x 2750mm at 50mm or 100mm, other thicknesses can be manufactured but would be quantity dependent

Secondly there is extruded and laminated plank which is manufactured with laminations to achieve the desired thickness, this material is produced in a sheet size of 1200mm x 2000mm at 50mm or 100mm, other thicknesses can be manufactured but would be quantity dependent.

Lastly, rolls that can also be extruded in 1mm up to 20mm thick at 1200mm wide in various lengths which are dependent upon the thickness of the material.

Key Benefits

Fully Extruded Plank 100% Fully Recyclable

Non-cross linked (PE) plank foam is easy to fabricate and is both resilient and non-abrasive. This PE plank foam provides excellent shock and vibration protection during product transport.

Other advantages of non-cross linked polyethylene include –

  • 100% Fully Recyclable
  • Excellent shock and vibration protection
  • Water-resistant with good flotation properties
  • Good thermal insulation
  • Clean and non-abrasive
  • Maximum shock absorption and vibration dampening
  • Versatile and easy to fabricate into various shapes

The laminated construction offers tried and tested cushioning performance and customised dimensions to increase fabrication efficiency.

Non XL offers outstanding protection, easy fabrication and is CFC free.

Extruded & Laminated Plank can be die-cut, heat sealed, welded, glued to other materials, sliced, sawn, split, skived, routed and drilled to meet exact specifications.

We also offer a wide range of thicknesses and high, medium and low density up to 100mm. Multi density layers also available from stock in 30mm, 40mm and 50mm in white. Other thicknesses and colours available on request.

Non-Cross Linked polyethylene foam is non abrasive, chemically inert, flexible, and lightweight. which intern means it’s ideal for delicate surfaces and surface protection for polished wood, alloy wheels, powder coating, electronics, and ceramics.
