EPS foam is a lightweight, insulating, impact-resistant, and versatile foam material. It offers excellent insulation performance, chemical stability, and environmental characteristics, making it widely used in construction, packaging, art, and other fields. With its high moldability and ease of processing, EPS foam provides us with numerous possibilities for design and application. |

PE foam, like Polystyrene, can be found in expanded or extruded forms. Cuts much slower than Polystyrene. PE foam is usually a dark gray and has a rough texture. PE is commonly used for instrument cases. It does not off-gas like polyurethane, so it will not damage expensive instruments that are stored for long periods of time. This is a closed cell foam, meaning it does not absorb water. |
XPS Foam is a kind of insulation material known for its excellent thermal insulation, moisture resistance, durability, and versatility. It is commonly used in construction and other applications that require efficient insulation and moisture control. Its strength, resistance to mold, and ease of installation make it a good choice among builders, contractors, and architects.
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate is a flexible foam used in things like exercise mats and crafting supplies. Very popular with Cosplay artists. Many EVA foams can be cut and embellished with our tools. We suggest getting a kit with a variable power supply because some require higher heat while most require lower heat. Don’t confuse this with foam rubber, which cannot be cut with a hot wire.
EPP is often used for RC airplanes and packaging sensitive instruments because it is semi-rigid but flexible enough to survive crash landings. Cuts similarly, but is more rigid and slightly smoother than Polyethylene foam. This is a closed cell foam.
polyurethane is a versatile polymer used in widely applications, including foams, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Its exceptional physical properties, thermal insulation capabilities, chemical resistance, and customization options make it a popular choice across lots of industries.
