- Product Information
Galfoam is closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam sheet, produced in an extrusion process.
- WRAS approved for cold water use.
- Dimensional stability 24 hr at 70C < 2%.
- If pinholes were created during the foaming process, no more than 6 holes of diameter 2mm per 1m2 of sheet are acceptable.
- MD - machine direction - along the extruder's axis.
- TD - transverse direction - Perpendicular to the extruder's axis.
- Data represents typical values measured on a 10 mm thick specimen and should be considered as a guideline only.
