PE foam protective profile "U 80-100" 1m

PE foam "U 80-100" protective profile 1 m - Extremely wide shield for stone blocks, Jumbo XXL glass, and industrial panels 🛡️

"U 80-100" is the record wide foam profile by Boxmarket. It safely covers the edges of elements with a thickness of 80 - 100 mm: 90 mm granite countertops, massive stair steps, Jumbo quartz sinter plates, 100 mm facade panes, and powerful composite panels for wagons and elevators. Despite its huge throat, a 1,000 mm section weighs only ≈ 35 g, so it does not wind up freight costs. Closed-cell PE foam acts like a network of micro air cushions, absorbs shocks, and eliminates edge chipping. The characteristic blue color facilitates quality control from production to assembly on site.

What is a PE foam protective profile?

"U" shaped profile is created through the continuous extrusion of foamed polyethylene (EPE/LDPE). The widest "U 80-100" throat automatically encompasses edges of 80 – 100 mm and provides three key functions:

1. Cushioning: millions of closed cells disperse impact energy, protecting stone, glass, and composites from chipping.
2. Separation: the resilient spacer maintains an equal gap between panels, eliminating friction scratches.
3. Auto-grip: extremely wide arms embrace the edge without tape - the installation lasts <1 s.

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 - does not absorb water, does not mold, and does not gain weight.
• Chemical inertness: LDPE does not react with paints, oils, or metals; does not discolor surfaces.
• Ecology: free from CFC/HCFC, 100% recyclable in the LDPE #4 stream.

🛡️ Profile properties – cushioning & auto-grip

• 🤲 "Click & slide" assembly: the profile instantly clamps onto the edge of 80 – 100 mm.
• 🌡️ Range from -40 °C ... +90 °C: it doesn't crumble or soften.
• 🔄 > 10 re-use cycles: 50% compression tests without permanent deformation.
• 🛠️ On-site cutting: a utility knife or foam guillotine are enough to get any length.

🚚 Applications in packaging and logistics

• 90 mm granite blocks: edge protection during crane lifting.
• 100 mm facade glass: damping micro vibrations in the transport of glass modules.
• Composite wagon / window plates: panel spacing, powder coating protection.
• XXL stone stairs: safe distance in A-frame racks.
• 80 mm fire door wings: the profile protects frames and veneers from bumps.

🏭 Industries using the U 80-100 mm profile

• Stonemasonry 🪨 – countertops and steps > 80 mm.
• Façade construction 🏗️ – structural glass modules.
• Luxury furniture 🛋️ – bars and tables with massive edges.
• Aerospace & rail ✈️🚆 – thick composite panels.
• Heavy-duty logistics 📦 – shipping of XXL "flat-pack" sheets.

🛠️ Custom product configurators – match the filling to your process

Fill the "U 80-100" profiles with PE foam sheets and cardboard dividers, creating a complete protection system:

🔹 Custom PE foam sheets

The creator foam sheets - enter dimensions (10 - 50 mm) and color to immediately know the price.

🔸 Custom cardboard dividers

The creator cardboard dividers allows you to determine the format, number of layers and grammage.

🚀 How to build a coherent system?

1. Reinforce the edges with U 80-100 profiles.
2. Separate layers with PE foam sheets.
3. Distribute pressure with cardboard dividers.
4. Order everything in one basket - configurators will give the price and we will synchronize the production.
