What's the difference between PE and XPE?

What's the difference between PE and XPE?

Answer:

XPE chemical foam features:A. - buffer for semi hard foam, the original performance is not lost by the strong impact, used for precision instruments, semiconductor packaging and other fields, but also can use the easy molding, and used in the field of sports protective equipment and leisure products production.B. molding -- strong heat resistance, good ductility, uniform density, molding can realize vacuum forming and hot forming parts with deep, so it can be used in automobile air conditioner evaporator cabinet, automobile hot press ceiling interiors and the shoe materials.C. sound absorption - with sound absorption and noise reduction function, suitable for aircraft, railway vehicles, automobiles, motors and other strong noise equipment and sound-absorbing materials in the environment.D. heat insulation - its fine independent bubble structure, can effectively reduce the energy exchange caused by air convection, and is suitable for making insulation pipes and thermal insulation boards. The utility model has the advantages of anti condensation property, and is extremely suitable for the heat preservation materials in the wet environment of refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, etc..
XPE is a non crosslinked closed cell structure, also called chemical cross-linking PE. It is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging material. It consists of low density polyethylene, which is physically foamed and produces numerous independent bubbles. To overcome the ordinary styrofoam brittle deformation and resilience. The utility model has the advantages of water separation, moisture resistance, shock proof, sound insulation, heat insulation, good plasticity, strong toughness, recycling, environment protection, strong impact resistance, and the like, and has good chemical resistance. It is an ideal substitute for traditional packaging materials. If you need, you can ask Zhong Tian rubber.
XPE is a kind of PE, XPE is PE material made by foaming after the chemical PE foam. XPE foam chemically crosslinked polyethylene foam (Shanghai Zhong Tian is a professional manufacturer of plastic foam), with low density polyethylene resin and a crosslinking agent and foaming agent through continuous foaming and high temperature, and EPE (physical polyethylene foam, commonly known as pearl cotton), higher tensile strength, more fine bubble. XPE is an ideal material for heat preservation of automobiles and air conditioners. It has developed rapidly in the sporting goods market in recent years, such as surfboard, moisture-proof mat, yoga mat and so on. It also has some uses in buildings, and has a wide range of applications in flame retardant materials. It has been widely used in the automotive and packaging industry recently.
