PE foam "U 10-20" protective profile 1 m - Protection for XXL fronts, doors and panels 🛡️

The "U 10-20" profile is a strengthened version of the best-selling edge protection, created for thicker elements - countertops, furniture fronts, doors and composite panes up to 20 mm. A wider delaminated bridge and flexible arms easily embrace 10 - 20 mm material, and a fully closed-cell PE foam disperses shock energy like a dense network of micro air cushions. A one-meter section weighs only ≈ 8 g, so it does not increase freight costs. The blue color increases the visibility of the profile during packing and upon receipt of goods, facilitating quality control.


What is a PE foam protective profile?

"U" shaped foam profile is created in the process of extrusion of foamed polyethylene (EPE/LDPE). The "U 10-20" variant has a wider working gap, therefore it clasps on the edges of panels with a thickness of 10 - 20 mm. The construction ensures three key functions:

  1. Damping: the bubbly foam structure dissipates impacts, protecting paint, glass, and anodized aluminum from chipping and denting.
  2. Separation: a flexible spacer maintains a constant gap between panels, eliminating scratches during transport vibrations.
  3. Auto-grip: the profile presses against the edge along its entire length, requiring no tape, glue, or clips.

The material has shape memory, therefore it elastically returns to nominal dimensions after deformation - the profile can circulate in closed logistics circuits for many cycles.


Material - foamed polyethylene LDPE/EPE

Foamed LDPE contains millions of closed cells filled with air, creating an extremely lightweight, flexible, and hydrophobic barrier. Technical parameters:

  • Density 30 kg/m³: high elasticity, resistance to crushing up to 60% - the profile does not crumble even at -40 °C.
  • Moisture resistance: no capillaries - the foam does not absorb water, it does not swell in sea containers.
  • Chemical inertness: LDPE does not react with paints, metals, or glass.
  • Ecology: free from CFC/HCFC, 100% suitable for recycling in LDPE #4 stream.

🛡️ Profile properties - damping & auto-grip

  • 🤲 Assembly < 1 s: extended arms automatically clamp on the edge of 10–20 mm.
  • 💧 Hydrophobicity: does not absorb moisture - no risk of mold and strength drops.
  • 🌡️ Range −40 °C … +90 °C: does not crumble in frosts, does not soften in hot warehouses.
  • 🔄 Multiple use: ≥ 10 compression cycles without permanent deformation.
  • 🛠️ Easy cutting: with a knife or guillotine for non-standard lengths.

🚚 Applications in packaging and logistics

  • 18 mm doors and furniture fronts: edge protection against bumps and paint chips.
  • 20 mm kitchen countertops: countertop-countertop separation in pallet transport.
  • Laminated glass 12–16 mm: the profile cushions micro-shocks, reducing corner cracks.
  • HPL and composite panels: distance between sheets eliminates friction scratches.
  • Metal casings and cassettes: protection of powder-coated edges in contract logistics.

In 3PL centers, the profile accelerates the compilation of returns and "mix-SKU" shipments, replacing time-consuming bubble wrap wrapping.


🏭 Industries using the U 10-20 mm profile

  • Premium Furniture 🛋️: manufacturers of fronts, countertops and high-gloss lacquered doors.
  • Aluminium Joinery 🪟: suppliers of facade panels and door leaves.
  • Glass Industry 🖼️: tempered glass panels, display cases, XXL mirrors.
  • Large Format Electronics 📺: LED-wall panels, 85-100ʺ televisions.
  • Automotive 🚗: panoramic glass roofs and composite coverings.
  • Large-scale E-commerce 📦: furniture fulfillment in "flat-pack" packages.

⚖️ Solid cardboard vs PE foam - key differences

The table below compares cardboard corners and foam profiles to make it easier to choose the right protection:

Aspect LDPE foam profile Cardboard corner (solid cardboard)
Material and production Foamed LDPE, continuous extrusion; petrochemical raw material. Multilayer KRAFT paper glued into a "V" profile; renewable raw material.
Protective properties Soft cushioning, dampens vibrations; no structural load capacity. Rigid arm, transfers pressures; less shock absorption.
Weight and volume ≈ 8 g/pc.; wall ≥ 10 mm → larger package dimensions. ≈ 140 g/pc.; wall 3 mm → minimal volume increase.
Resistance to moisture / chemicals Hydrophobic, chemically neutral. Hygroscopic; PE version - waterproof.
Recycling / ecology LDPE #4 recycling; no biodegradation. Biodegradation or wastepaper; low carbon footprint.
Typical applications Delicate panels, glass, electronics. Bags, plates, medium-heavy cartons.
Palletization / stacking Does not carry weight - only cushioning. Carries loads; allows stacking.

🛠️ Custom product configurators - match the filling to your process

In addition to ready-made U foam profiles, you can order dedicated PE foam sheets and cardboard dividers in a few clicks to create a complete, layered protective system tailored to your logistics.

🔹 Custom PE foam sheets

In the %%p<span translate="no">%</span>:1021:foam sheet%% creator, you specify the length, width and thickness (10–50 mm) and choose the color - you will immediately see the price. The sheets serve as:

  • 🛡️ Shock-absorbing dividers between layers of stacked goods.
  • 📐 Spacers inside collective cartons for surface isolation.
  • ✂️ Inserts cut at the packing station for unusual shapes.

🔸 Custom cardboard dividers

The %%p<span translate="no">%</span>:1151:cardboard dividers%% creator allows you to choose the format, number of layers and weight. Applications:

  • 📦 Layer stabilizers in packs of bottles or cans.
  • 🧩 Cardboard separators when stacking pallets - protect the lids from denting.

🚀 How to combine elements into a coherent system?

  1. Strengthen the edges of products with U profiles 10-20 mm.
  2. Separate layers with PE foam sheets to dampen shocks.
  3. Add cardboard dividers to evenly distribute pressure.
  4. Order everything in one basket - the configurators will calculate the price online, and we will synchronize production.

💡 Why is it worth it?

  • Instant price – immediate online quote.
  • 🎯 Zero material loss – each element produced to measure.
  • 📉 Less logistics damage thanks to the customized layered system.
  • 🛒 One invoice – U profiles, foam sheets and dividers in one basket.
