Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Both products are PE foams and have basically the same properties and application areas. Vibracell feels softer than ethafoam. Vibracell is more elastic, because of the less dimensional stability than Ethafoam. Ethafoam can be machined more easily due to its more compact structure, as a result the edges fray less when milling than with Vibracell. Ethafoam and Vibracell have different panel formats, which can have a positive/negative effect on the utilisation of the panels, depending on the cut.
PE cannot be easily coated or glued. There are still various possibilities to produce PE foams (Ethafoam, Vibracell, Plastazote) to a carrier or to itself. -products can be bonded to each other with double-sided adhesive foil. -Hot glue can be used to fix individual parts. This type of gluing is intended more as an assembly aid than for a permanent connection. -Another possibility is to apply a spray adhesive on both sides of the parts - let it flash off well Join the parts and press them together. -The safest connection of two PE parts is achieved by hot air or mirror welding. What does not work and why: -Water-based adhesives/dispersion adhesives cannot be used, because they are not airtight Do not allow material to dry out.
In Switzerland, PE or PUR foams cannot be recycled. They are disposed of with household waste and are "thermally recycled" in the incineration plant. This material is welcome in the incineration plant because it has a high calorific value and burns very cleanly.
If you would like to cut the foam to size yourself, there are various possibilities to cut the edges straight and clean. Foam can be cut mechanically with a band saw with a fine-toothed or toothless blade. Foam with a thickness of 20 mm - 30 mm can still be cut very well with sharp scissors. However, if you want to cut thicker foam, you will get very good results with an electric meat knife. Due to the two counter-rotating blades, the material is cut very precisely and cleanly. If you do not have an electric knife at hand, you can also use a conventional bread knife. The bread knife should have a serrated edge. Cutters or meat knives with a smooth blade are not recommended, because the knife becomes dull very quickly and you get frayed edges. a little vegetable oil on the recommended knife blade helps to simplify the cut. Another possibility: So that a "clean" cut is possible, it is advisable to treat the foam with some pressure (using a ruler) and compressit as much as possible to "0" and in this condition use a sharp Cutter to cut through in one go.
