Plastazote LD15

Plastazote LD15 is a very low-density cross-linked polyethylene foam manufactured to provide soft cushioning and extremely lightweight protection. Its closed cell structure helps resist moisture while maintaining excellent buoyancy and flexibility.

It is widely used where a lightweight foam sheet for padding or flotation is required that remains easy to cut, handle and install.

Plastazote LD15 foam sheets are valued for their lightweight performance and ease of use.

• Ultra-lightweight closed cell polyethylene foam structure
• Excellent buoyancy and flotation performance
• Soft cushioning and gentle impact protection
• Low water absorption and moisture resistance
• Flexible material that is easy to cut and fabricate
• Supplied in consistent sheet sizes suitable for repeat orders

These characteristics make Plastazote LD15 a dependable choice for applications where lightweight protection is more important than structural strength.

Plastazote LD15 is widely used across packaging, flotation and lightweight protection applications.

Common uses include:

• Protective packaging inserts
• Foam sheet for padding and cushioning
• Marine flotation and buoyancy components
• Lightweight protective cases
• Sports and leisure equipment

It is particularly well suited to situations where reducing weight while maintaining reliable protection is important.

Use Plastazote LD15 foam if you need:

• An ultra-lightweight foam sheet for packaging or protection
• Soft cushioning for delicate items
• Reliable buoyancy or flotation performance
• A flexible material that is easy to cut and handle

It is not recommended if:

• High strength or structural rigidity is required
• Heavy-duty protection or load-bearing support is needed
• A fire-retardant or anti-static specification is required

Choosing the correct density helps ensure the foam performs effectively in your application.
