The company positioned itself as a polypropylene supplier to the automotive market. From 2000 onwards, the company developed Polyethylene foam cushion packaging technology to serve the electronic industry. [citation needed] The company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singaporean-owned company, Sealed Air. [2]
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 ...
In recent years, EVA foam has seen popular use in cosplay communities, largely in part due to its ease to work with, durability, and comfort in comparison to traditional plastic-based costumes. [7] Flower-making foam is a thin sheet made of EVA, which is flexible, and is used by artists and craft makers to make artificial flowers.
The company was founded by Charles Marshall as an expanded rubber manufacturer known as Onazote Limited in 1921. It then expanded into polyethylene foams in the 1960s. [3] It was acquired by BP in the 1970s, spun out from BP in 1992, and first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1995. [4]
Huntsman has grown through a series of acquisitions (with some divestitures) and today is a manufacturer and marketer of differentiated and specialty chemical products. In April 1994, Huntsman acquired the Texaco Chemical company for $1.1 billion. [ 2 ]
A polymeric foam is a special foam, in liquid or solidified form, formed from polymers. [1] Examples include: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate; also referred to as polyethylene-vinyl acetate (PEVA) Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) foam, first grade of polyethylene (PE)
Direct injection expanded foam molding (also known as injection molded foam) is a manufacturing process that creates soft foam products direct from a compound into a final product. [1] This process eliminates the steps normally required for die-cutting and compression molding , because it manufactures the foam and the product, simultaneously.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1] Its manufacture employs the same method today.
