PE foam protective profile "U 45-65" 1m

PE Foam Protective Profile "U 45-65" 1 m - Maximum throat for monolithic plates, massive blocks and jumbo glass 🛡️

"U 45-65" is the widest foam profile available from Boxmarket. It protects the edges of elements with a thickness of 45 - 65 mm: 50 mm stone countertops, large-format staircase steps, XXL quartz sinter, 60 mm facade glass panes and massive premium class door wings. Despite the huge throat, a one-meter section weighs only ≈ 25 g, so it does not inflate freight costs. Closed-cell PE foam behaves like a network of micro air cushions, absorbs shocks and eliminates edge chipping. The characteristic blue color facilitates quality control at every stage of the supply chain.

What is a PE foam protective profile?

"U" shaped profile is created in the process of extruding foamed polyethylene (EPE/LDPE). The widest throat "U 45-65" automatically clamps onto edges 45 - 65 mm and provides three key functions:

1. Shock absorption: millions of closed cells disperse impact energy, protecting stone, glass and wood from chipping.
2. Separation: a flexible spacer maintains an equal gap between elements, eliminating friction scratches.
3. Auto-grip: very wide arms encompass the edge along its entire length - without tape and glue.

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 without micropores - the profile does not absorb water, does not mold, does not gain weight.
• Chemical inertness: LDPE does not react with varnishes, oils or metals; it does not discolor surfaces.
• Ecology: free from CFC/HCFC, 100% recycling in the LDPE #4 stream.

🛡️ Profile properties - shock absorption & auto-grip

• 🤲 Assembly < 1 s: "click & slide" - the profile itself embraces the edge of 45-65 mm.
• 🌡️ Range −40 °C...+90 °C: does not crumble or soften.
• 🔄 > 10 re-use cycles: 50% compression tests without permanent deformation.
• 🛠️ Easy trimming: a technical knife or foam guillotine allows you to get any length.

🚚 Applications in packaging and logistics

• Stone countertops 50 mm: safe separation of countertop - countertop, zero chipping.
• Stair steps & solid window sills: protection of sharp CNC-cut edges.
• Façade glasses 60 mm: damping of micro-vibrations, reduction of corner cracks.
• Quartz sinter XXL: spacing of slabs in A-frame racks.
• Premium door wings 65 mm: the profile protects frames and veneers from dents.

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