Adams Foam

Polyethylene foam or PE foam is created by the extrusion of polyethylene resins mixed with a blowing agent to create the closed cell sheets, rolls, and shapes this product is known for. Having closed cells allows much higher load bearing and resistance to being crushed by heavy objects. PE foams are flexible and come in several densities and colors. PE foams are resistant to many industrial chemicals, retain color, are UV resistant, waterproof, and can be cut mechanically or with heat. PE foams do not break apart easily and can handle repeated drops without losing shape and protective attributes. This product can also be recycled.

Crosslinked PE foams have most of the same attributes as regular extruded PE but with a much finer cell structure. Crosslinked PE also comes in many density ranges. Colors are generally deeper and the sheets have a smoother finish while generally more resilient than the same density PE planks and sheets. Versions of this product are found in many athletic and leisure products because of its aesthetics and improved thermoforming characteristics.
