Archival Polyethylene Foam

Protect your collections by using archival quality polyethylene foam to line display cases, drawers, shelves and boxes. Line phase boxes for extra protection of rare books.

Archival foam type A is a flexible, closed cell, polyethylene foam which is produced using a process that results in a continuous, smooth surface. Foam has excellent chemical resistance, low water absorption and vapour transmission, superb thermal insulation and a non-abrasive, aesthetically pleasing surface.

The foam is available in a 33kgm³ density in 3mm thickness, and in either black or white. It is easily cut using scissors, paper cutter or a utility knife. Due to manufacturing processes the colours of foam may vary slightly between different batches, the specification remains the same.

Also available – Self adhesive Polyethylene tape with an acrylic adhesive backing – see Alternatives list below.
