Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd are proud to be one of the UK’s leading suppliers of polyethylene foam sheets, which we stock in a range of densities, grades, colours and thicknesses. Most of our polyethylene foam sheets are converted from blocks using our state of the art splitting machines, meaning we can supply neoprene sponge sheets in thicknesses starting at as little as just 1mm, in a standard 2meter x 1meter sheet size. Our onsite laminating service not only allows us to laminate layers of polyethylene sheets to create greater depths but also enables us to supply polyethylene foam sheets with a range of self-adhesives, foils and even layers of other materials.

What are Polyethylene Foam Sheets?

Polyethylene foam sheets are manufactured from a high quality, lightweight closed-cell material. Polyethylene is a great material with a number of resistances and insulation properties as well as being available in a variety of grades, densities, colours. Polyethylene is often taken in sheet form as they give the customer and end-user the flexibility to be able to cut their own strips, gaskets, washers, etc out as and when they are required. 

Why use Polyethylene Foam Sheets?

Polyethylene foam sheets are manufactured in a range of grades and densities offering various properties for use in different applications.
