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.
