2. Expanded polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polyethylene

   Polyethylene bead foams (including) EPE can be used to replace both polystyrene foam, and both rigid and flexible polyurethane. Uses include cushioning applications, and impact absorption applications including packaging. [4] Consumption of polyethylene for PE foam was estimated at 114x10 6 kg in 2001. The majority was used for non-crosslinked ...

3. Polymeric foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymeric_foam

   Solid polymeric foam for packaging under the optical microscope. A polymeric foam is a special foam, in liquid or solidified form, formed from polymers. [1]Examples include:

4. Phase-out of polystyrene foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_polystyrene_foam

   Animals do not recognize polystyrene foam as an artificial material, may mistake it for food, and show toxic effects after substantial exposure. Full or partial bans of expanded and polystyrene foam commonly target disposable food packaging. Such bans have been enacted through national legislation globally, and also at sub-national or local ...

5. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

   The high molecular weight makes it a very tough material, but results in less efficient packing of the chains into the crystal structure as evidenced by densities of less than high-density polyethylene (for example, 0.930–0.935 g/cm 3). UHMWPE can be made through any catalyst technology, although Ziegler catalysts are most common.

6. Package cushioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_cushioning

   This includes expanded polystyrene foam pieces (foam peanuts), similar pieces made of starch-based foams, and common popcorn. The amount of loose fill material required and the transmitted shock levels vary with the specific type of material. [2] Paper Paper can be manually or mechanically wadded up and used as a cushioning material.

7. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam is a very specialized packing material, often required for use in shipping valuable fragile items. Engineered packaging principles are designed to protect sculptures, vases, large fossils, lamp bases, busts, computers, furniture, chandeliers and other objects of unusual shape.
