Introduction to the properties and applications of XPE foam and IXPE foam materials
The full name of XPE foam is chemical cross-linked polyethylene foam material, and IXPE is electron irradiation cross-linked polyethylene foam material. Both of these materials are free-form continuous foaming foams with a wide range of applications and superior performance.
XPE foam products are made of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) as the main material, bridged by DCP (cross-linking agent), added AC (azo foaming agent), mixed and extruded, and then foamed at high temperature in XPE foam machine foaming material. The foaming completed XPE density range is wide, which can be easily achieved of 500~25kg/m3.
IXPE foam products are also made of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) as the main material. After adding AC (azo foaming agent) and mixing and extrusion molding, through irradiation processing technology, the cross-linking generated by the action of ionizing radiation on the material changes the base material. The original structure, after high temperature foaming in IXPE foam machine, forms a reticulated independent and cellular structure, which is a high-grade closed-cell foam material. After foaming, the XPE density can be adjusted arbitrarily in the range of 200~28kg/m3.
XPE foam and IXPE foam materials have the characteristics of closed cells, independent, uniform, non-absorbent, infinite length, etc. IXPE foam has the unique characteristics of smooth surface. XPE foam and IXPE foam are excellent in environmental protection, insulation, waterproof, moisture-proof, shock absorption, cushioning, resilience, heat preservation, heat insulation, light weight, easy processing, and pollution-free. Common types of XPE foam and IXPE foam are suitable for a variety of application scenarios. Widely used in lining core materials, outer packaging materials, automotive interiors, sports and leisure, tourism products, packaging and refrigeration, construction and home decoration, public place decoration, shoe materials, luggage, friction materials, agriculture, forestry and aquatic products, greenhouse farming, marine and marine industries, Children's toys, health care and various daily necessities industries.
In the production process of XPE foam and IXPE foam materials, according to different application requirements, various preparations can be added to give the product various unique properties, such as: flame retardant, weather resistance, aging resistance, chemical resistance, mildew resistance Wait. According to different additives, XPE foam and IXPE foam products can be divided into antibacterial enhanced type, flame retardant type, conductive type, weather-resistant type, anti-ultraviolet type, etc. Antibacterial enhanced IXPE is suitable for high-end series products of green home life; flame-retardant XPE foam and IXPE foam are suitable for automobiles, construction and home decoration, etc.; conductive IXPE foam is suitable for electronic appliances, precision packaging and other applications; weather-resistant and anti-ultraviolet XPE foam And IXPE foam is suitable for outdoor, water and other places. In addition, XPE foam and IXPE foam with other special properties can also be produced according to customer needs.
XPE foam and IXPE foam products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, green and healthy materials with excellent physical properties. They are mainly used in home building decoration, car interiors, and baby products related to green and healthy living. With the formation of green consumption awareness and management mechanism of consumers in various countries, people around the world are looking forward to more comfortable living conditions and high-quality life. In the future, the XPE foam and IXPE foam industries will usher in greater development.
