Introduction to the application of XPE foam and IXPE foam in the construction and home improvement industry
At present, the excellent physical properties of XPE foam and IXPE foam (such as shock absorption, sound insulation, hydrophobicity, stretching, resilience, etc.) have been recognized by the market, and their applications have become more and more extensive. They are widely used in the construction industry. All manufacturers pay attention to it. And it will also drive the development of the XPE foaming machine and IXPE foaming machine industries.
1. Application on the roof
XPE foam and IXPE foam have been widely used in the insulation of roofs and vegetable greenhouses due to their excellent thermal insulation, and hydrophobic properties. The XPE foam and IXPE foam products used in this part usually use XPE foam Coiled material or IXPE foam coiled material is covered with aluminum foil (or aluminum film) on both sides of the coiled material through a laminating machine (or thickening machine).
2. Applied in floating floor slab
Use a compound machine (or thickening machine) to thicken the XPE foam and IXPE foam coils to a certain thickness, and clamp them in the building floor or wall to form a floating mode. Achieve the effects of shock absorption and sound insulation. This is an important indicator of green building, which has been widely used in many provinces of China, and it has also promoted the sales of XPE foam machine and IXPE foam machine.
3. Applied in PVC plastic floor mats
For a long time, this application was monopolized by EVA or EPE materials. However, as the excellent physical properties of IXPE foam have been recognized by the market, IXPE products have gradually replaced EVA and EPE materials. China is a big exporter of flooring. Many manufacturers purchase IXPE foam machines to produce IXPE floor mats. At present, IXPE floor mats have become the largest application in the IXPE foam industry.
4. Applicable to interior wall and floor soft decoration
This application is typical of 3D soft wall stickers. The 3D soft wall sticker made of XPE foam material has the advantages of simple construction, superior performance, easy cleaning and easy replacement. It also has the characteristics of beauty, mildew resistance, and moisture resistance. It is quickly recognized by the market and has been sold in large quantities. This application also drove the sales of XPE foam machine.
5. Other applications in the construction and home improvement industries
XPE foam and IXPE foam have the properties of shock absorption, sound insulation, hydrophobicity, stretching, resilience, etc. They are also widely used in the construction and home improvement industries for ceiling decoration, water pipe and air conditioning pipe insulation, corner collision prevention, door sealing and other projects. application.
I believe that in the near future, the application of XPE foam and IXPE foam will become wider and wider, and it will also drive the development of the XPE foaming machine and IXPE foaming machine industries.
