EPE foam sheet extrusion line FAQ
1. What is difference between EPE and XPE foam ?
EPE (non-crosslinked polyethylene) and XPE (chemically crosslinked polyethylene) have different manufacturing process, resulting in distinct properties. EPE has higher flexibility, cushioning, and lower cost whereas XPE foam has higher density, better thermal insulation, and water resistance.
2. What kind of gas is used in EPE foam extrusion?
Liquid type LPG (Butane mixed with propane at the ratio of 80:20 or 70:30) is generally used because good cooling system in our extruder and patent additive reduce aging time effectively.
In terms of aging, 100% propane is advantageous for sheet production because it diffuses fast and cheap but its handling is not easy.
3. What is advantage of Pacific EPE foam extruder?
Our EPE foam sheet extruder has three way special cooling system and long L/D to produce light, strong and resilient foam with significantly short aging time by using less gas.
4. What is technology of Pacific Industry Co., Ltd. to reduce aging time?
