T Foam - Qycell Crosslinked PE Foam

T foam is chemically crosslinked polyethylene (PE) foam. Our T foam is produced in continuous rolls resulting in a foam product with uniform, closed cells and smooth skins on both sides. T foam is also available in sheets.

T foam is lightweight, flexible, and soft to the touch. Yet it is strong, tough, resilient, and resistant to moisture, many chemicals, and temperature extremes.

Compared to non-crosslinked PE foam, T foam typically offers superior thermal stability and insulating properties. It also offers improved dimensional consistency and stability over a wide range of fabrication methods and end-use conditions.

Additives available are PE film (or skin), E.V.A. (ethyl vinyl acetate) primarily ordered to enhance softness or stretch, and flame retardants.

Cross-linked Polyethylene Foams

Qycell Corporation specializes in the production and distribution of highperformance closed-cell cross-linked polyolefin foams. Qycell™ brand foams are the preferred choice for applications that require die cutting, laminating, welding, and thermoforming due to the foam's superior consistency. Qycell supplies cross-linked, irradiated, EVA, and micro-cellular bun foams to the following Qycell™ specifications. T-Foam Irradiation (TI) and chemically (T) cross-linked closed cell polyethylene (PE) foam is manufactured as a continuous sheet, which can be supplied as either rolls or sheets of foam.

• Density or "hardness" ranges from 2.0 lbs pcf (lbs per ft3) and extends to 30 lbs pcf. Qycell designates 2 lbs pcf as T-20, 3 lbs pcf as T-30, etc..
  
• Thickness of the roll/sheet ranges anywhere from 1/8" to 4" laminated.
  
• Widths of the roll/sheet vary from our standard 60" to as wide as 78". (A typical roll diameter is approximately 36".)
  
• Lengths of the roll/sheet ranges anywhere from 10 ft to 2,000 ft.
  
• Colors are classed within two categories. The standard colors are natural (the color of French vanilla ice cream), gray, charcoal, and black. Custom colors are available for an additional fee.
  
• Additives such as PE film (or skin) are designated by the letter "F" (i.e. TF). The letter "E" is designated for EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate), which is primarily added to enhance the softness or elasticity of the foam (i.e. TE). The additive for flame retardant is designated as "FR" and alloy is represented as "A". A single sided smooth surface is represented as "SM", however a double-sided smooth surface is represented as "SSM" (i.e. TSSM).
  
• Minimum: An order of five rolls is required for purchase on standard items, Custom colors or sizes, 15 rolls minimum.
