Rebound Elacticity Closed Cell XPE XLPE Foam Sheets For Shoe
Insoles
Engineered for premium shoe insoles, these cross-linked
polyethylene (XPE/XLPE) foam sheets feature rebound elasticity and
a dense closed-cell structure. They deliver superior shock
absorption, reducing impact during movement while maintaining shape
through repeated use. The non-porous design resists moisture, odor,
and bacteria, ensuring long-lasting hygiene and durability—ideal
for daily wear, sports, or medical applications.
Lightweight yet supportive, the foam offers customizable thickness
for tailored comfort, from plush cushioning in athletic shoes to
firm arch support in orthotics. Its flexibility allows easy cutting
and molding for precise fits, while eco-friendly, non-toxic
materials meet safety standards. Perfect for brands prioritizing
performance and sustainability, these sheets enhance insole
functionality, providing wearers with all-day comfort, stability,
and fatigue reduction.

FAQ:
Q1:Is XLPE foam recyclable?
Due to it is crosslinked and close cell, it is hard to recyclable.
But the wasted pe foam could be reused again, like to be remade
to be mattress, underlay, furniture filling etc
Q2:Does your foam work with adhesives?
Our foam does work well with adhesives. PE foam tape is one of the
foam application
Q3:Can you do custom design?
Of course,Color,Logo,Size,Pattern and Materials all could be
customized, we have the professional technical staffs.
Q4:What is the difference between polyethylene and polyurethane
foam?
Polyethylene is a firm, closed-cell foam.It is also sometimes used
as a top layer over softer foam in order to provide better footing
while the lower, softer foam adds some shock absorption. What is
polyurethane foam? Polyurethane is a softer, open-cell type of foam
that is made in varying degrees of firmness.
