Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight and rigid foam material. It is a material of choice for the packaging and construction industry. It provides cost-effective solutions and energy-efficient insulation.
Stratocell® is a lightweight, closed cell Polyethylene foam available in 3 different densities. It is clean, lightweight, non-abrasive, resistant to water and has good insulation properties.
Commonly referred to as ‘Polyether’ or ‘soft polyurethane foam’ (PU), this type of foam is an open-cell, flexible foam that boasts a seemingly endless range of applications.
Plastazote® and Evazote® foams are closed cell cross-linked expanded polyethylene foams (LDPE) available in a wide range of different colours and densities.
With the advent of some revolutionary new materials, Excel are pleased to announce the launch of our ‘trademarked’ product range of more-sustainable protective foam packaging options called Envirafoam.
Envirafoam® R (Stratocell® R) is a closed-cell polyethylene foam with a minimum of 65% recycled content. It is clean, lightweight, non-abrasive, resistant to water and has good insulation properties.
A new European innovation considered to be the ‘missing link’ between traditional Stratocell® and Plastazote® foams enabling material savings of up to 40% versus other PE foams.
A fantastic new innovation from Stora Enso made from Nordic wood to create a fully recyclable foam. It is a soft yet resilient material with memory foam like behaviour.
Envirafoam® ’Panda’ is our latest innovation in environmentally conscious packaging solutions. The material combines the strength and sustainability of our Black Envirafoam® R (65% recycled content) and white polyethylene foam (30% recycled content) into a composite material, offering both a clean, white appearance and a high level of recycled content.
