Flexible, strong, and with excellent elasticity, MEF™ is a moldable polyethylene foam which can be molded into a wide range of shapes.
With its excellent cushioning, flexibility, strength, and elasticity, polyethylene foam is widely used as a packaging material, industrial material, and also as a building material.
A feature is its use for a wide range of applications
Since the material is formed by shaping bead-shaped foam raw material in a mold, it is possible to create complex shapes in large quantities. Such products are used in a wide variety of applications, tailored to the needs of customers.
