Vibra®cell PE packaging foam – antistatic

Vibra®cell PE packaging foams have been specially developed to reliably protect sensitive products during transport and storage. Manufactured from extruded polyethylene with a closed-cell structure, they combine high dimensional stability with exceptional elasticity. This enables them to effectively absorb shocks, distribute loads evenly and prevent pressure marks or scratches on surfaces.

A major advantage lies in the material’s technical properties: with a density of approx. 35 kg/m³ and a compression hardness of around 95 kPa, the foams provide a robust basis for versatile applications. Tensile strength reaches up to 0.44 N/mm² in the longitudinal direction and 0.28 N/mm² in the transverse direction, whilst the elongation at break exceeds 100%. Its tear strength is also impressive, at up to 1700 N/m. Even under high loads, the material returns almost completely to its original shape thanks to its low compression set. Furthermore, it is moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant and retains its shape even under temperature fluctuations.

These properties make Vibra®cell a versatile material for packaging solutions: as single-use packaging for lightweight products, in box and case liners, for reusable and shuttle packaging, or as padding in export packaging. Thanks to its ease of processing – cutting, punching, slitting or welding – custom shapes and cut-to-size pieces can be produced. 

Compared to alternatives such as Ethafoam, Vibra®cell demonstrates clear strengths, particularly in its elastic recovery and dynamic load-bearing capacity. Whilst Ethafoam scores highly for its particularly high dimensional stability during milling, Vibra®cell is ideally suited for applications where flexibility, energy absorption and a pleasant feel are paramount. Antistatic variants are also available on request, ensuring that even sensitive electronics can be reliably protected.

Vibra®cell PE packaging foam thus combines safety, durability and versatility in a single product. Whether for industry, retail or specialist applications – it offers the right solution when it comes to protecting high-value goods and the cost-effective implementation of packaging concepts.
