What kind of foam is used for packaging?

There are actually a variety of foam types used for packaging purposes. For more heavy duty packaging, Polyethylene foam is used. This is a sturdy yet lightweight foam that will protect heavier parts or equipment from damage due to its shock absorption capabilities. For more cushioned packaging, softer Polyurethane foam, such as Charcoal Foam, can be used. Packaging foam can also be ordered for special applications. These foams include: anti-static foam for electronics, eggcrate and Pick and Pull.

What is packing foam made of?

Packing foam is typically made of a polymer matrix that uses small bubbles of air or gas. Those are then combined with heat or pressure to create a solid foam. Additives can also be put in the matrix to create specialty packing materials, such as anti-static foam.
