Material Selection

IXPE, IXPP and XPE material selection

Most precision industrial foam projects should start with IXPE. Evaluate IXPP for higher heat, stiffness or stricter engineering conditions, and use XPE for basic insulation, protection or cost-sensitive scenarios.

  • Quantity and destination country
Main focus

IXPE Foam

IXPE is Hongtai's main material focus: irradiation cross-linked polyethylene foam with fine, uniform cells, low odor, low water absorption and strong secondary processing performance.

  • Low odor and cleaner material profile
  • Fine closed cells and reliable tolerance
  • Waterproof cushioning and insulation
High-performance

IXPP Foam

IXPP is Hongtai's high-performance foam capability: irradiation cross-linked polypropylene foam for higher heat resistance, stiffness, dimensional stability and clean industrial applications.

  • Higher heat resistance
  • Stiffer and dimensionally stable
  • Lightweight and clean
Basic applications

XPE Foam

XPE is retained as a basic cross-linked PE foam option for insulation, packaging, flooring underlayment and other cost-sensitive protection applications.

  • Suitable for basic insulation and protection
  • Good waterproofing and cushioning
  • Cost-sensitive material option
