Cellular polyethylene is typically used for sealing and condensing isolationCellular polyethylene is a flexible expanded cellular plastic with a cross linked molecular structure.ShareREAD MORE/CONTACTHideCellular polyethylene is typically used for ground sheets, as the material has thermal insulating features, prevents moisture from penetrating and makes the surface softer. For example, it can be used for sealing and condensing isolation. Daniel FermskogPhone +46 370 65 47 11 Send e-mail

Can cellular polyethylene be combined with other materials during production? Yes, we laminate cellular polyethylene with other materials, tape or surface coatings to create products with specific functions or to make them easier to assemble. Can cellular polyethylene be used as a sealant? Yes, Alveolit and Plastazote in particular are used as sealing materials thanks to their dense cellular structure and good compressibility. Can you help us choose the right PE material? Yes, we recommend the right grade based on temperature, humidity, compression, function and the type of insulation or sealing required. Does cellular polyethylene meet fire safety requirements? Yes, several variants, such as Alveolit, Plastazote and Evazote, comply with fire class FMVSS 302. How does Evazote differ from Plastazote? Both are physically cross-linked, but Evazote often offers greater flexibility and is used when softer condensation insulation or a seal that conforms to irregular surfaces is required. How effective is cellular polyethylene as a shock absorber? PE 50 and similar densities offer excellent shock absorption and are often used in packaging, transport protection and products where energy absorption is important. Is cellular polyethylene environmentally friendly? Cellular polyethylene has a long service life, is recyclable and is lightweight, making it a resource-efficient material in many applications. Is cellular polyethylene good for thermal insulation? Yes, cellular polyethylene has a low thermal conductivity and is used to insulate against both heat and cold. It is suitable for use in many structures where the aim is to reduce heat loss. Is cellular polyethylene suitable for the construction industry? Yes, Alveosoft in particular is used in the construction industry, for example for windows, sheet metal and air-tight sealing in structures. Is cellular polyethylene waterproof? Yes, cellular polyethylene has very good moisture- and water-resistant properties thanks to its closed cells and cross-linked structure. Is it possible to die-cut cellular polyethylene into custom shapes? Yes, we die-cut all our PE materials – from thin seals to larger insulation components – entirely in accordance with the customer’s drawings and requirements. What factors influence the choice of density? Density determines stiffness, shock absorption and compressibility. Low density is used for insulation, whilst high density is better suited to load-bearing or protective applications. What is Alveolit and when is it used? Alveolit is a closed-cell polyethylene material. It is used for sealing and for thermal and cooling insulation, and can withstand temperatures ranging from –40°C to +100°C. What is cellular polyethylene and what is it used for? Cellular polyethylene is a flexible, cross-linked expanded cellular plastic. We use it for condensation insulation, thermal insulation and seals in a wide range of applications, from industry to construction and the automotive sector. What is PE 50 used for? PE 50 is a physically cross-linked, closed-cell material used for packaging and shock absorption. It withstands temperatures ranging from –30°C to +70°C. What is the difference between Alveosoft and Alveolit? Alveosoft is a softer material with semi-closed cells that is used for air sealing and in the construction industry, for example in windows and as an intermediate layer in sheet metal. It can withstand temperatures of up to +90°C. What temperatures can cellular polyethylene withstand? The temperature range varies between grades: Alveolit withstands –40°C to +100°C, Plastazote –70°C to +95°C, Evazote –70°C to +65°C and PE 50 –30°C to +70°C. When should you choose Plastazote? Plastazote is a physically cross-linked cellular polyethylene with a dense structure and a smooth surface. It is ideal for both insulation and sealing applications where high dimensional stability is required. Which industries use cellular polyethylene from Horda Stans? Construction, industry, ventilation, automotive, packaging, energy, and customers requiring condensation insulation, sealing or shock absorption. Why is cellular polyethylene a good choice for condensation insulation? Cellular polyethylene has a dense, moisture-repellent structure that prevents moisture from penetrating. This makes the material ideal for preventing condensation on pipes, sheet metal structures and cold surfaces.
