Ethafoam® 220 Solutions
When shipping fragile products, safeguarding industrial equipment, or ensuring impact resistance in choosing the right foam material is critical. Not all foams offer the same level of durability, moisture resistance, and impact absorption, leaving many buyers struggling to find a reliable solution.
Ethafoam® 220 solves this problem with its closed-cell polyethylene structure, providing long-lasting protection, flexibility, and resilience for a wide range of applications. Whether you need shock absorption, cushioning, or insulation, Ethafoam® 220 is the right choice for your needs.
What is Ethafoam® 220?
Ethafoam® 220 is a high-performance, closed-cell polyethylene foam known for its superior shock absorption, moisture resistance, and durability. This material is engineered to withstand significant wear and tear, making it ideal for both high-impact and long-term use. Unlike open-cell foams, its closed-cell structure prevents moisture absorption, ensuring that it maintains its integrity even in humid or wet conditions.
Due to its exceptional compression strength and resilience, Ethafoam® 220 is widely used in protective packaging, industrial applications, and cushioning systems. It provides reliable shock absorption, making it a top choice for shipping fragile items, securing heavy equipment, and insulating sensitive electronics. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and construction rely on Ethafoam® 220 for its ability to endure repeated stress without losing performance.
For those requiring impact protection, long-term storage solutions, or material for specialized applications, Ethafoam® 220 delivers unmatched performance, longevity, and adaptability. Whether it’s used for custom foam inserts, athletic padding, or structural support, this versatile foam is a proven choice across multiple industries.
Why Choose Ethafoam® 220?
Choosing the right foam for your application depends on several key factors. Ethafoam 220 stands out for:
- Durability – Withstands compression and repeated impacts without losing structural integrity.
- Moisture and Chemical Resistance – Ideal for humid environments or exposure to harsh substances.
- Versatility – Suitable for packaging, sports equipment, construction, and insulation.
