"L 50-50" PE Foam Protective Profile 1 m - Universal Corner Shield for Furniture, Glass and Appliances

"L 50-50" is a universal foam profile in the shape of the letter L, protecting corners (internal and external) and edges of products during transport and storage. It safely shields the corners of elements, covering them with two 50 mm arms - e.g. 40 mm furniture tops, cabinet fronts, window frames or washing machine casings. A one-meter section weighs only ≈ 17 g, so it does not increase shipping costs. The closed-cell PE foam acts like a dense network of micro air cushions, absorbing shocks and preventing dents and scratches on surfaces. The characteristic blue color facilitates quality control from packing to unpacking at the customer's location.


What is a PE foam protective profile?

The "L" shaped profile is created in the continuous extrusion process of foamed polyethylene (LDPE/EPE). The "L 50-50" covers the product corner with arms 50 mm long, performing three key functions:

  1. Shock absorption: millions of closed cells disperse impact energy, protecting against chipping and dents.
  2. Separation: resilient foam maintains a distance between surfaces - eliminates friction and scratches during vibration.
  3. Quick assembly: the profile easily slips onto the corner; for vertical transport or long distances, additional immobilization (stretch, tape, band) is recommended.

Material - foamed polyethylene LDPE/EPE

  • Density 30 kg/m³: high elasticity (resistance to crushing up to 60%) - no crumbling at -40 °C.
  • Hydrophobic: closed-cell structure does not absorb water, does not mold or increase in weight.
  • Chemical inertia: LDPE foam does not react with paints, oils or metals; it does not discolour surfaces.
  • Ecology: physically foamed foam (N₂ / CO₂), without CFC and HCFC freons; 100% recyclable in the LDPE #4 stream.

🛡️ Profile properties - shock absorption & easy assembly

  • Quick setup: profile application to the corner takes less than 1 s.
  • 🌡️ Range −40 °C … +90 °C: the foam does not crumble in frost nor soften in heat.
  • 🔄 > 10 reuse cycles: withstands multiple uses - test compression of 50% without permanent deformation.
  • ✂️ Custom cutting: easy cutting with a knife or guillotine allows you to achieve any length.
  • ⚠️ Transport stability: for long-term/transoceanic transport, additional securing with stretch or tape is recommended.

🚚 Applications in packaging and logistics

  • Stone countertops and sills < 50 mm: securing the corners of heavy slabs during reloading.
  • Glass and mirrors in frames: cushioning of delicate glass panel edges in transport.
  • Furniture and wooden boards: protection of sharp corners of cabinets, tables and carpentry elements.
  • Standalone household appliances: protection of corners of washing machines, refrigerators or stoves housings.
  • Consumer electronics (TVs, monitors): corner protection of screens and housings in courier shipments.

🏭 Industries using the L 50-50 profile

  • 🪨 Stone Masonry – countertops, window sills, tiles.
  • 🪑 Furniture Industry – furniture edges, interior fittings.
  • 🔌 Household appliances – manufacturers and distributors of washing machines, refrigerators, stoves.
  • 🚚 Logistics – distribution centers, pallet forwarding.
  • 🛒 E-commerce – stores shipping delicate items.

⚖️ Cardboard corner vs foam profile – key differences

The table below compares the LDPE foam profile and the solid cardboard corner:

Aspect Foam profile (LDPE) Cardboard corner
Material / production Foamed LDPE, continuous extrusion; petrochemical raw material. Layered KRAFT paper (L profile); renewable raw material.
Protective properties Soft cushioning, dampens vibrations; no structural load capacity. Rigid corner protection, carries loads; less cushioning.
Weight / volume ≈ 17 g/piece; arms 50 mm → larger package dimensions. ≈ 200 g/piece; wall 3–5 mm → minimal volume increase.
Resistance to moisture / chemicals Hydrophobic, chemically inert. Hygroscopic; PE coating makes it partially waterproof.
Recycling / ecology Recycling LDPE #4; no biodegradation. Biodegradable or waste paper; low carbon footprint.
Load stacking Does not carry weight – only cushioning. Strengthens edges – allows pallet stacking.

🔄 U Profile vs L Profile – the most important differences

Feature U Profile L 50-50 Profile
Application Protection of edges of a specified thickness (e.g. 20–40 mm, 80–100 mm). Protection of corners and edges at a 90° angle (50 mm arms).
"Auto-grip" function Yes – elastic arms tightly "clamp" onto the edge, usually without additional tape. No – the profile fits more loosely; additional securing (stretch/tape) is recommended.
Typical products Stone blocks, sintered slabs, facade glass. Furniture, home appliances, wooden structures, electronics.
Distance between elements Closed throat – strictly defined thickness. 50 mm arms – create a corner buffer in both planes.

💰 Logistic and economic benefits

  • Price < 1.30 PLN/pc. (when buying a pallet) – the cost of the profile pays for itself after avoiding the first product damage.
  • ⚖️ Marginal weight: ≈ 0.03% of the weight of a 60 kg device.
  • ⏱️ Shortened packing time −30% vs manual wrapping with film and cardboard.
  • 🔄 > 10 reuse cycles – resistance to wear in a closed return cycle.
  • 📉 Transport claims −30% (user data, 2023).

♻️ Ecology and recycling of PE profiles

The "L 50-50" profiles are made of foamed polyethylene LDPE/EPE - a material marked with the recycling code #4. This allows them to be directed to the standard recycling stream of LDPE foils and bags after the end of their use.

  • Freon-free: physically foamed (nitrogen/CO₂), without CFC and HCFC - no impact on the ozone layer.
  • Long life cycle: > 10 cycles of reuse in the return cycle, which reduces the use of primary material.
  • Energy-saving recycling: LDPE melts at a low temperature (120-140 °C), so regranulate requires less energy than PET or PC recycling.
  • Return logistics: light angles are easy to press or bale - 1 euro-pallet can hold approx. 15 000 mb of used profiles.
  • Up-cycling: LDPE regranulate from profiles is used to extrude construction foils, drain pipes and new packaging elements.
  • Minimal water footprint: closed-cell foam does not absorb moisture or require washing before regranulation.

If your company is implementing a zero-waste strategy, profiles can be:

  1. collected after unpacking (mono-material sorting),
  2. pressed in a horizontal baler or Big-Bag bag,
  3. handed over to a local LDPE recycler or returned in the manufacturer's deposit system.

Effect: one kilogram of recovered LDPE allows to avoid the emission of approx. 1.8 kg CO₂-eq in comparison with primary production (source: Plastics Europe, 2024).
