XPE foam and EVA foam are both types of closed-cell foam materials commonly used in various industries.
Here are some differences between the two:
Fust, XPE foam and EVA foam can be visually distinguished by their appearance.
XPE foam has a more uniform, closed-cell structure with a smoother surface, while EVA foam has a more open-cell structure with a rougher surface. XPE foam is also typically thicker and denser than EVA foam.
Material Composition: XPE foam is made of cross-linked polyethylene foam, while EVA foam is made of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foam.
Density: XPE foam is generally denser and heavier than EVA foam.
Thickness: XPE foam is often thinner than EVA foam, but still provides good cushioning and shock absorption.
Water Absorption: XPE foam has low water absorption properties, while EVA foam can absorb water.
Durability: EVA foam is more durable than XPE foam, and is able to withstand repeated impacts and compression better.
Cost: XPE foam is usually more expensive than EVA foam due to its higher density and manufacturing process.
Both XPE foam and EVA foam can be recycled, but the recycling process may vary depending on the specific type and manufacturer.
In terms of being non-toxic and odorless, both XPE foam and EVA foam are generally considered safe for use. However, it’s important to note that some EVA manufacturers may use chemicals or additives in their foam production process that could potentially be harmful.
When it comes to environmental friendliness, XPE foam is generally considered more eco-friendly because it requires less energy to produce than EVA foam. XPE foam is also more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, which can make it last longer and reduce waste over time, further reducing its environmental impact.
Overall, both XPE foam and EVA foam have their own unique properties and benefits, and the choice between them may depend on the specific application and use case.

IXPP new material for automotive interior
There are two kinds of plastics commonly used in automobile interiors: general plastics (PVC, PE, PP) and engineering plastics (PA, ABS, PC). The current PE material has poor weather resistance and is not suitable for the environment.
Force-sensitive, easy to age, heat resistance is not ideal, low-density poly-Zene materials are used at 80°C, and high-density poly-Zene materials are used at 110°C.
For the lightweight of summation materials, IXPP was developed along the way.
IXPP is formed by mixing and extruding polypropylene (PP), AC foaming agent, etc., irradiated by an electron accelerator, and foamed at high temperature.
IXPP performance:
Has good thermal stability (use temperature up to 130°C);
Has good mechanical properties such as toughness, tensile strength, impact strength; IXPP material is environmentally friendly and low VOC (with industry test reports).

high processing technology and processing efficiency; compared with TPO foam, it has better scratch resistance and compression recovery.
The difference between XPE/IXPE foam and EPE foam
Material: XPE foam (cross-linked polyethylene foam) and EPE foam (expanded polyethylene foam) are both made from polyethylene, but they have different properties due to differences in the manufacturing process.
Density: XPE foam has a higher density than EPE foam, which makes it more durable and better at absorbing impact. It is therefore often used in protective packaging, sports equipment, and insulation.
Thickness: EPE foam is available in thicker sizes than XPE foam, which makes it suitable for applications where thicker padding is required, such as in cushioning for furniture and mattresses.
Water resistance: XPE foam is waterproof, whereas EPE foam is water-resistant. This means that XPE foam is better suited for outdoor applications or for use in wet environments.
Cost:The price of EPE material is relatively cheap. Therefore, it is widely used. In daily life, we can often see the figure of foam: such as the packaging of fragile gifts such as wine, the inner packaging of hardware products, toys, melons and fruits, and leather shoes. In addition, foam is also widely used in car seat cushions, pillows, electronic appliances, instrumentation, computers, audio, medical equipment, industrial control chassis, hardware lighting, handicrafts, glass, ceramics, home appliances, spraying, furniture furniture, daily necessities, etc. product packaging.
What is XPE/IXPE foam?
XPE foam and IXPE foam are new environmentally friendly polymer materials, safe, non-toxic and tasteless. Compared with EPE foam, XPE and IXPE foam materials have better mechanical properties, are stronger, more durable, and have excellent moisture-proof, thermal insulation and sound insulation effects. XPE foam is commonly used in construction, automotive, sports, packaging and air conditioning industries, such as floor sound insulation mats, floor moisture-proof mats, baby crawling mats, etc.
Which is better, XPE foam or EPE foam?
Compared with price, EPE has more advantages;In terms of physical properties, the parameters of various mechanical properties of XPE foam materials are better;According to the grade of material, XPE foam material is more high-grade;In the packaging industry, as the inner material for product packaging, EPE and XPE have their own advantages and disadvantages. Based on production cost considerations, EPE is more widely used, but in order to improve the quality of packaging, many customers have chosen XPE to fit foam. approach that combines the advantages of both.

How to distinguish XPE and EPE? What is the most intuitive difference between XPE and EPE?
The cells of XPE foam are more delicate and uniform than those of EPE. The cells of EPE foam are often relatively large, and the size of the cells is uneven. For the thicker version of 15mm and 20mm children’s crawling pads, there is another way to distinguish: foam does not need to be fitted, while XPE foam must be double-layered – XPE foam is limited by technology and equipment. The thickness of the thickest XPE material is about 10mm, so the thickened version of the XPE children’s crawling mat is usually realized by high-temperature double-layer bonding. On the side of the thickened version of the crawling mat, careful observation can see the traces of the bonding.

Compare Polyvinyl hloride, Polyethylene to Cross-linked Polyethylene
Polyethylene is referred to as PE, which is a polymer of ethylene and is non-toxic. Easy to color, good chemical stability, cold resistance, radiation resistance, good electrical insulation.
Polyvinyl chloride, referred to as PVC, is a polymer of vinyl chloride. It has good chemical stability and is resistant to acid, alkali and some chemicals. It is moisture-resistant, aging-resistant and flame-retardant. It should not be used above 60°C, and it will harden at low temperatures. Polyvinyl chloride is divided into soft plastics and hard plastics.
Cross-linked polyethylene, referred to as XLPE, is an important technology to improve the performance of PE. The performance of PE modified by crosslinking can be greatly improved, which not only significantly improves the mechanical properties, environmental stress cracking resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, creep resistance and electrical properties of PE, but also The temperature resistance level has been significantly improved, and the heat resistance temperature of PE can be increased from 70 ° C to more than 90 ° C, thus greatly broadening the application range of PE. At present, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) has been widely used in pipes, films, wire and cable materials and foam products.
CYG TEFA’s foam products are made of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE Foam), which is better than PVC and PE foam.
