Polyethylene foam
Polyethylene foam: lightweight protection, insulation, and custom solutions
At COEMMO, we work with polyethylene foam as one of the key materials for protection, insulation, and cushioning in packaging, logistics, industry, and construction. It is a lightweight, flexible, highly adaptable material that enables both standard and fully customised solutions.
Polyethylene foam stands out for its impact absorption, moisture performance, and versatility in formats: bags, rolls, sheets, profiles, and technical parts.
Polyethylene foam applications in different environments
- Protection and cushioning in packaging: Polyethylene foam is widely used to protect products from impacts, vibrations, and abrasion, especially fragile items or those with delicate finishes.
- Combined protection and technical materials: For applications requiring additional performance, polyethylene foam can be combined with other materials that provide thermal barrier, strength, or surface stability.
- Separation, wrapping, and intermediate protection: Polyethylene foam is ideal for separating products, preventing rubbing, and protecting surfaces, both in packaging and storage.
- Edge, corner, and special-geometry protection: Thanks to its flexibility and ease of machining, polyethylene foam protects critical areas such as corners and edges.
- Custom solutions and technical parts: At COEMMO, we develop custom polyethylene foam parts tailored to the exact geometry of the product to be protected.
- Insulation and technical applications: Beyond packaging, polyethylene foam is used for acoustic and thermal insulation and expansion applications.
