Advantages of XPP Foam Core

Feature	Description
Lightweight and Strong	Low density with high strength — lighter and tougher than traditional EPE or EVA foam.
Excellent Heat Resistance	Can be used continuously at 100–120°C without deformation or shrinkage.
Closed-cell Waterproof Structure	Independent cell structure with water absorption below 1%, resistant to moisture and mildew.
Outstanding Thermal Insulation	Low thermal conductivity (<0.036 W/m·K), suitable as a heat insulation layer.
Excellent Cushioning and Energy Absorption	Strong resilience with excellent impact and vibration absorption.
High Chemical Resistance	Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and most solvents.
Eco-friendly and Recyclable	Free of CFCs and HCFCs, compliant with environmental standards, and recyclable.
Excellent Processability	Can be thermoformed, cut, die-cut, laminated, or heat-welded; easy to bond with other materials.

Applications

XPP foam exhibits excellent thermal stability, cushioning, and rebound properties, making it an ideal lightweight material for automotive interiors, aerospace, marine equipment, sports, and leisure applications.

• Automotive Industry

Widely used in automotive roofs, door panels, instrument panels, headliners, air conditioning panels, and trunk linings.
XPP foam is suitable for manufacturing shock-absorbing panels, energy-absorbing pads, side panels, headrests, and battery insulation.

• Product Packaging

XPP foam offers excellent resilience and impact absorption properties, minimizing vibration and damage during transportation or operation. It is ideal for protective packaging of electronics, precision instruments, and fragile items.

• Buildings

It is used as thermal and acoustic insulation in flooring, roofing, and wall systems, providing durability, moisture resistance, and chemical resistance.

• Consumer Products

It is used in sports equipment, household goods, and protective covers where cushioning, flexibility, and safety are crucial.

• Composite panels

XPP foam combined with fiberglass composites has become the preferred material for lightweight trucks, trailers, and RVs.
