XY Foams' IXPE (Irradiated Cross-linked Polyethylene Foam) is a premium closed-cell polyethylene foam manufactured through electron beam irradiation and chemical foaming technology. Compared with conventional polyethylene foam, IXPE features a finer and more uniform cell structure, excellent dimensional stability, outstanding cushioning performance and long-term durability.

Its lightweight structure, stable mechanical properties and excellent processability make IXPE an ideal material for consumer electronics, automotive components, EV battery systems, adhesive tapes, construction materials, packaging protection and industrial converting applications.

To meet the performance requirements of different industries, XY Foams has developed a comprehensive IXPE product portfolio. Rather than offering a single material, we provide specialized product series optimized for different processing methods, application environments and functional requirements, helping customers identify the most suitable solution for their projects.

Whether you require ultra-thin cushioning materials, foam tape substrates, flooring underlays or EV battery insulation solutions, XY Foams delivers reliable IXPE materials together with customized converting services.

Why Choose IXPE Foam?

IXPE combines lightweight construction with excellent mechanical performance, making it one of the most versatile closed-cell foam materials available for industrial applications.

Fine & Uniform Cell Structure

Electron beam cross-linking creates a consistent closed-cell structure, providing excellent dimensional stability and reliable mechanical performance.

Excellent Cushioning & Recovery

Absorbs shock and vibration effectively while maintaining excellent compression recovery during long-term use.

Lightweight

High strength-to-weight ratio helps reduce product weight without sacrificing performance.

Thermal Insulation

Low thermal conductivity improves heat insulation in electronic devices, vehicles and building systems.

Sound Absorption

Helps reduce vibration and airborne noise for improved acoustic performance.

Water & Moisture Resistance

Closed-cell construction minimizes water absorption and maintains stable performance in humid environments.

Chemical Resistance
