PE foam protective profile "U 25-35" 1m

PE Foam "U 25-35" Protective Profile 1 m - Strongest Throat for Stone Countertops, Stair Steps and XXL Glass 🛡️

"U 25-35" is Boxmarket's flagship, widest foam profile, created to protect items with large mass and thickness of 25 - 35 mm - 30 mm granite countertops, stair steps, quartz conglomerates, 32 mm laminated glass panes and premium class door wings. A one-meter section weighs only ≈ 14 g, so it does not affect the shipping cost, while simultaneously absorbs impacts like a safety sponge. The saturated blue color facilitates quality control both on the packing line and at the time of receipt of the goods.

What is a PE foam protective profile?

"U" shaped profile is created in the process of extrusion of foamed polyethylene (EPE/LDPE). The widened throat elastically covers the edges of 25 - 35 mm thickness, offering three pillars of action:

1. Damping: millions of closed air cells dampen shocks and vibrations, preventing chipping and micro-cracks.
2. Separation: flexible spacer maintains an equal gap between adjacent panels, eliminating friction scratches.
3. Auto-grip: wide arms clamp without tape or glue - assembly takes < 1 s.

Material - foamed polyethylene LDPE/EPE

• Density 30 kg/m³: high elasticity, resistance to crushing up to 60% - no crumbling at -40 °C.
• Hydrophobicity: closed-cell foam does not absorb water, does not swell in containers.
• Chemical inertness: LDPE does not react with varnishes, oils or metals.
• Ecology: 100% recycling LDPE #4, no CFC/HCFC.

🛡️ Profile properties - damping & auto-grip

• 🤲 Instant assembly: "click & slide" - the profile itself embraces the edge of 25-35 mm.
• 💧 Hydrophobic: closed-cell structure without micropores - does not absorb moisture, zero mold, no weight gain.
• 🌡️ Temperature −40 °C…+90 °C: does not crumble or soften.
• 🔄 > 10 re-use cycles: fatigue tests of 50% compression without permanent deformation.
• 🛠️ Easy cutting: a knife or foam guillotine allows for any length.

🚚 Applications in packing and logistics

• 30 mm granite countertops: countertop separation, elimination of chipping.
• Quartz 25 mm agglomerates: safe distance in vertical A-frame racks.
• Stair steps & natural stone slabs: protection of laser-cut edges.
• 32 mm laminated glass panes: damping of microvibrations, reduction of corner cracks.
• Premium 35 mm door wings: the profile protects frames and veneer from rebounds.

In 3PL centers, the profile shortens the packing of heavy components, replacing multi-layer bubble wrap.
