Expanded polyethylene (EPE) is a type of closed-cell foam made from polyethylene, a common thermoplastic polymer. It is produced by expanding polyethylene beads or resin through a process that involves heating and adding a blowing agent. This results in a lightweight, durable foam material that exhibits several beneficial properties, making it suitable for various applications.
