4 Crafts and DIY Projects Popular in crafts and DIY projects due to ease of manipulation and customization

5 Sports Equipment Used for padding in helmets knee pads and other protective sports gear

 Manufacturing Process

1 Expansion Polyethylene beads are expanded using heat and pressure to form a foamy closedcell structure

2 Forming The expanded beads are then molded or extruded into sheets This process can involve either extrusion forcing the foam through a mold or compression molding compressing the foam in a mold

3 Cutting and Shaping Once formed the foam sheets are cut and shaped according to specific requirements They can be laminated perforated or treated for special applications

 Types of EPE Foam Sheets

1 Standard EPE Foam Sheets Generalpurpose sheets used for packaging and insulation

2 Antistatic EPE Foam Sheets Treated to prevent static electricity buildup protecting electronic components

3 Customprinted EPE Foam Sheets Can be printed with logos designs or other markings for branding and promotional purposes

4 Colored EPE Foam Sheets Available in various colors for aesthetic or functional reasons
