EPE foam, or Expanded Polyethylene, is an extremely versatile foam. It can be easily shaped, routed, formed, and cut to size in the same way as Kaizen Foam. EPE25 is dust-free (does not powder), is non-abrasive, is inert, and is resistant to fuels and oils. EPE25 plank foam is semi-rigid, yet flexible and pliable. EPE foam comes in different densities, including 18g/Cm3, 25g/Cm3, and 30g/Cm3. This listing is for the medium density 25g/Cm3 and is referred to as EPE-25.
EPE foam is widely used in tool storage and as inserts in plastic injection-molded cases, as well as custom flight cases. These Closed Cell Foam Sheets are used for thermal insulation too, having a high thermal resistance of 0.033W/m.k. Its closed-cell structure is moisture-resistant.
Compared to EVA foam, EPE is less durable, not as resilient, but with better thermal properties. It also does a better job of absorbing impact. As a result, EPE and EVA foam have different applications in road cases as well as other products.
