Automotive parts
MEF™ is suited as a component material for the automotive parts.
MEF™ has excellent characteristics such as
① Lightweight, ② Compressive recovery, ③ Toughness, ④ Flexibility,
⑤ Wear-resistant property, ⑥ Fire retardancy, ⑦ Low-VOC
① Light weight
Expanded polyethylene MEF™ is lightweight foam product. The below illustration shows how MEF™ x30 (Density: 0.034g/cm3) can reduce weight as its density is only half of Urethane foam (Density: 0.068g/cm3).
25% weight-reduction
MEF™ offers reducing vehicle weight.
② Compressive recovery performance
MEF™ is expanded polyethylene, and has excellent compressive recovery performance, in comparison with expanded polystyrene.

Expanded Polyethylene MEF™ has excellent compressive recovery performance, and is suited as a component material for various automotive parts.
④ Flexibility
Expanded Polyethylene MEF™ is more flexible than expanded polystyrene.
⑤ Wear-resistant property
MEF™ has small surface-friction drag, gives a rise to little friction sound.
Friction sound
Note: All values shown in this table are given as typical
laboratory averages, intended to serve as approximate
guide and not as specifications.
MEF™ has small surface-friction drag, resulting in a reduction in noises caused by surface-friction drag.
⑥ Flammability
MEF™ has passed the FMVSS 302 flammability test.
⑦ Low VOC
MEF™ is inorganic gas expanded polyethylene, and does not produce VOC.
