TI - Qycell Irradiated Crosslinked Foam
Qycell Irradiated (TI) crosslinked foam is a very fine-celled, smooth skinned, irradiated crosslinked polyethylene foam, with closed cells. Our foam is made of a clean and non-toxic material.

Qycell's TI foam is available in continuous rolls or sheets, and a wide range of densities, thickness and colors. A light and durable material, irradiated crosslinked foam has excellent shock absorption and thermal insulating properties. TI also meets FDA regulations for food contact.

Our TI foam is water repellent and highly resistant to weathering and chemicals. Its versatile physical properties enable it to be utilized throughout many industries, including automotive production.

Additives available include E.V.A. (ethyl vinyl acetate), primarily ordered to enhance softness or stretch, and flame retardants. Also available is alloy foam and static dissipative foam.

 

Cross-linked Polyethylene Foams
Qycell Corporation specializes in the production and distribution of high performance 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.

Other Features

  • TI-Foam Irradiation (TI) 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 6 lbs pcf. Qycell designates 2 lbs pcf as TI-20, 3 lbs pcf as TI-30, etc.
  • Thickness of the roll/sheet ranges anywhere from 1/32" to 1/2".
  • Widths of the roll/sheet vary from our standard 60". (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.
