Applications of Plastazote

Plastazote foam is a closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam which available in a wide range of polymer combinations which is a vast number of nitrogen cells held in a mass of polyethylene as the foam is not like a sponge, where the cells are open and connected, gases and liquids are not readily absorbed. These are cross-linked closed cell polyethylene foams manufactured from a wide range of polymer combinations to give increased rigidity, higher temperature resistance and improved mouldability.

This foam is a versatile man-made polyethylene foam which is produced as a by product of oil. Now a days Plastazote in India is commonly used because of having application include packaging, display, protective, automotive, health care and construction. The inert qualities of Plastazote foam have led to its widespread worldwide use in healthcare applications. It is a highly energy absorbent material and is a very good thermal insulator. PLASTAZOTE is the lightest polyethylene foam available with densities down to 15kg / m3 making it particularly suitable for use as formers in the hull stiffening ribs and stringers of large boats and other structures.

Plastazote in India is made up of using solid chemical blowing agent systems always contain a significant amount of blowing agent chemical residues which can detract from the physical, chemical and biological properties of the foamed polymer. Plastazote foam can be easily shaped and cut. It can be bonded to other materials like fabrics, itself, wood, metal etc. This foam can be moulded at relatively low temperatures having property like low softening temperature so the foam softens and it becomes easy to form. It is lightweight, non-toxic, odourless and never absorb water with buoyancy. It has important uses in health care as supports, orthopedic shoes, surgical splints and collars, as well as mobility equipment for the disabled.

Theatres and film sets around the world use it to make stage props and set designs, costumes, masks and hats. Other applications are for sound and pipe insulation, gaskets, anti-vibration pads. Now a days Plastazote in India is commonly used because of having application include packaging, display, protective, automotive, health care and construction. The inert qualities of Plastazote have its widespread worldwide use in healthcare applications. It is a highly energy absorbent material and is a very good thermal insulator.

Some other Applications of Plastazote includes Storage and packing of fragile items, Box making, Backing and support panels, Drawer and box liners, Customized packaging, Picture framing etc. Plastazote materials are also manufactured as flame retardant, conductive and static dissipative grades, the flame retardant.The flame retardant materials are widely utilised in the automotive, aerospace and construction industries.
