LD Foam-Low Density Foam-Soft foams are available in low to medium density range. Soft foams are used for all quilting needs, mattress overlay, top lining in sofas, pillows etc
Low-density polyethylene foam has numerous applications because of its many desirable properties including water-resistance, chemical resistance, energy-absorbance, buoyancy and cushioning characteristics. Compressive strength is greater in denser foams, decreasing as density decreases. Low-density foams tend to exhibit more compressive creep, meaning they become less thick over time, than higher-density foams.
Electric materials often use low-density polyethylene foam because it does well in applications that call for dielectric strength and constancy. Additionally, many applications that must perform in the presence of water also depend on polyethylene foam for its high water resistance and buoyancy. The packaging industry uses LDPE foam packaging to protect products because it absorbs energy and can act achieve different levels of cushioning protection depending on the exact density of the foam. Ethylene foam’s chemical-resistance properties also enable it to resist common causes of degradation. However, ultraviolet sunlight exposure, over a long period of time, can cause some basic degradation.
