XPE Gaskets

Product specification

Material and function

XPE is a chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam used for cushioning, protection and gap filling. The closed-cell structure and material density influence compression and recovery in the installed part.

Benefits and options

• Closed-cell foam structure
• Cushioning and surface protection
• Density and thickness selection

Manufacturing and customization

Sheets and suitable foams can be precision converted into gasket outlines. Molding is considered where the geometry needs a three-dimensional seal. Choose the cutting route and adhesive backing for the material and shape.

Design considerations

Select the material grade for contact media, operating temperature and mechanical loading. Include the installed compression, mating surfaces and expected service conditions when reviewing the component. Confirm performance using the selected compound and a representative sample.
