What Are Plastazote Polyethylene Foam Strips?
Plastazote foam is a lightweight, closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene material renowned for its chemical-free composition and exceptional durability. Manufactured from polyethylene expanded with nitrogen, Plastazote offers a robust and pliable structure that is impermeable to air and moisture, making it ideal for applications that require waterproofing, insulation, or surface protection.
Converted into strips, Plastazote foam becomes a versatile material for gaskets, sealing tapes, and protective components, offering excellent performance in cleanroom, food, pharmaceutical, and laboratory environments.
