Plastazote LD50

Plastazote LD50 is a higher-density cross-linked polyethylene foam designed to provide enhanced strength and durability while maintaining a closed cell structure. Its increased density allows it to support heavier loads and deliver reliable protection in more demanding environments.

It is widely used where a foam sheet for protection or packaging must provide consistent performance and improved resistance to wear and impact.

Plastazote LD50 foam sheets are valued for their durability and dependable performance in demanding applications.

• Higher-density closed cell polyethylene foam structure
• Strong impact resistance and load-bearing capability
• Excellent durability for repeated handling and transport
• Low water absorption and moisture resistance
• Resistant to many chemicals and environmental conditions
• Easy to cut, shape and fabricate
• Supplied in consistent sheet sizes suitable for repeat orders

These characteristics make Plastazote LD50 a dependable material for applications where protection and durability are critical.

Plastazote LD50 is widely used in situations where reliable protection and improved strength are required.

Common uses include:

• Protective packaging for heavier equipment or products
• Foam sheet for padding and cushioning
• Equipment and machinery protection
• Storage and transport protection
• Tool and equipment cases
• Industrial and commercial protective applications

It is particularly well suited to applications where materials must perform reliably under regular use and higher loads.

Use Plastazote LD50 foam if you need:

• A durable foam sheet for packaging or protection
• Improved strength and load-bearing performance
• Reliable cushioning for heavier items
• Consistent foam sheets suitable for repeat orders
• A material that is easy to cut and fabricate

It is not recommended if:

• Very soft cushioning or lightweight flexibility is required
• Maximum structural rigidity or heavy-duty engineering performance is essential
• A specialist specification such as anti-static or fire-retardant foam is required

Selecting the correct density helps ensure the foam delivers reliable performance and long-term protection.
