Description

Plastazote LD60 Key Features:

  • Density: 60 kg/m³ (3.75 PCF), offering greater strength and rigidity than LD29 (29 kg/m³) and LD45 (45 kg/m³).

  • Closed-Cell Structure: Waterproof, buoyant, and resistant to chemicals, oils, bacteria, and UV exposure, ensuring no water or odor absorption.

  • Durability: High tensile strength (790 kPa) and elongation (160%), surpassing LD29 (400 kPa, 125%) and LD45 (537 kPa, 150%) for enhanced tear resistance and longevity.

  • Compression Strength: Superior load-bearing capacity (70 kPa at 25% compression) compared to LD45 (90 kPa) and LD29 (35 kPa), ideal for heavy-duty applications.

  • Thermal Insulation: Operates up to 105°C with low thermal conductivity (0.042 W/mK), perfect for energy-efficient insulation.

  • Safety & Compliance: Non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, RoHS, and REACH standards. CFC/HCFC-free and recyclable.

Key Differences from LD29 and LD45:

  • Density & Rigidity: LD60’s higher density (60 kg/m³) provides greater structural support and firmness compared to LD29’s softness (29 kg/m³) and LD45’s balanced flexibility (45 kg/m³).

  • Strength & Durability: LD60’s higher tensile strength (790 kPa vs. 400 kPa for LD29, 537 kPa for LD45) and elongation make it ideal for demanding applications requiring resilience.

  • Compression Resistance: LD60 offers robust compression strength, making it better suited for heavy-load cushioning than LD29 (softer) and LD45 (moderate).

  • Applications: LD60 is preferred for high-strength, durable uses, while LD29 suits lightweight flexibility, and LD45 balances both.

Plastazote LD60 Common Applications:

  • Medical & Orthotics: Firm padding for prosthetics, orthopedic supports, and medical device packaging.

  • Packaging & Protection: Heavy-duty cushioning for industrial equipment, electronics, and fragile goods.

  • Sports & Leisure: High-impact padding for helmets, protective gear, and sports mats.

  • Automotive & Aerospace: Strong gaskets, seals, and vibration-dampening components.

  • Construction: Durable insulation, expansion joints, and sealing for demanding environments.

Why Choose Plastazote LD60?

Plastazote LD60 delivers unmatched strength, durability, and impact resistance for high-performance applications. Its closed-cell polyethylene structure ensures chemical resistance, weatherproofing, and eco-friendly compliance, making it a top choice for industries needing reliable foam solutions.

Cutting Methods

Splitting

Taking a thicker foam sheet, typically 100mm thick, and splitting or slicing down to a thinner sheet. Tolerances as fine as 0.2mm. A high vacuum bed holds the foam steady, then moves it across a fine, consistently sharpened blade.

Bandsaw

Used for creating a consistent, straight cut to alter the width or length of foam sheets, slabs, or blocks.

CNC Routing

CNC routing machines remove material from a secured foam sheet to create any shape or beveled edge required. A specialized router bit, chosen for quality foam conversion, follows a precise path programmed by engineers. Intricate patterns can be machined into the foam.

CNC Water Jet Cutting

A more affordable CNC method, cutting through thick material in a single pass with pressurized water, reducing production time and cost. Small radius cuts are possible as the thin stream removes fine amounts of material. No variable depth is available.

CNC Knife Cutting

Fast and precise, reducing machine time and job cost. Limitations include limited cutting depth (based on knife length) and the need for cuts to penetrate fully through the foam. Various depths can be achieved by layering, adhering, or butt welding cut foam pieces.

CNC Wire Cutting

Cuts 2D profiles from foam sheets or slabs up to 2.4 meters in length and any height, often referred to as a profile cut.

Joining Methods

Laminating

Joins two foam sheets to increase thickness, with the join stronger than an unmodified sheet. Achieved by applying even heat to two sheets and feeding them through rollers with precise compression and feed rate.

Butt Welding

Joins large foam pieces post-machining (e.g., top and base) or connects sheets, slabs, or blocks end-to-end or stacked. The join is stronger than an unmodified sheet.

Adhesion Tapes

Adhesive peel-off tapes (e.g., 3M, Stickyback, or Stix2Bricks™) are applied to foam sheets for easy end-user application.

Surfacing Methods

Buffing

Foam is passed through brushed and knurled rolls, creating a ‘furry’ surface on the top and bottom for improved grip in wet or slip-conscious areas.

Embossing

Surface heating of foam followed by cooling under a patterned or smooth surface. The foam moulds to the pattern or forms a smoother ‘skin,’ making the surface more abrasion-resistant and easier to clean, without the typical fine cell structure.

Laser Cutting & Etching

Used for precise material removal, ideal for lettering, logos, and shallow surface customizations.
