Unlimited Possibilities UnlimitedProduct ProductDesign Designand andEngineering Engineering Possibilities Sealed Air polyethylene foams, originally developed for protective packaging applications, also exhibit outstanding physical properties that make them ideal for a broad range of products in today’s active, value-conscious marketplace: •

Strong—excellent tensile and tear properties



Flexible—bends without breaks or tears



Very Resilient—recovers from compressions and impacts



Wide range of designer colors and densities



Non-dusting Non --dusting



Non-toxic Non --toxicand andodorless odorless



Moisture and chemical resistant



Maintains dimensional stability over a wide emperature temperaturerange range



Buoyant – excellent for recreational activities



Easily laminated – bonds to itself and a variety of substrates

Sporting Goods, Goods,Athletic AthleticEquipment Equipment and Toys Sporting and Toys Outstanding buoyancy, resiliency and durability make Sealed Air polyethylene foams a natural choice for water sport applications, protective athletic equipment, games and accessories: •

Sealed Air polyethylene foams are designed to meet a broad range of protective packaging and material handling requirements, from

Sealed Air has multiple packaging design and development centers around the world. They review and analyze proposed designs, develop new ones, test existing packs and recommend the best way to maximize the protective qualities of Sealed Air polyethylene foams. Sealed Air provides package and material testing in accordance with ISTA, ASTM, government or corporate standards.

Cushioning CushioningCurves Curves Sealed Air polyethylene foam Cushioning Curves provide different thickness and drop heights to satisfy various design requirements. And testing factors such as design, fabrication technique, type of outer container, and Package history(e.g. storage conditions) may influence package performance.

Comprehensive shock and vibration cushioning performance data is available on all Sealed Air polyethylene foams.
