① Lightweight

Expanded polyethylene MEF™ is lightweight.
MEF™ x30 (Density: 0.034g/cm3) is approximately half weight of Urethane foam (Density: 0.068g/cm3)

Lightweight

② Low wear and tear

Tensile Strength 3.0kgf/cm2 (x30 molding product, Test Method, JIS K6767)
Tensile Elongation 35% (x30 molding product, Test Method, JIS K6767). Compared with other foam products, MEF™ is resistant to cracking and chipping.

Low wear and tear

③ Excellent compressive recovery performance

MEF™ has excellent compressive recovery performance, 12% compression set (x30 Molding product, Test Method, JIS　K6767), hence it is great for repeat use.
