Buy IXPE Foam Rolls [United States] |
Hello All,
We are a fabricator and distributor of plastic foams in North America. I have been direct importing foam and machinery from Asia for over 15 years. We buy foam from all over China, all over Asia, and all over the world.
We are looking for a new source for some plastic foam rolls that will price us based on the recent new lower PE resin pricing:
IXPE foam, also called Irradiated cross-linked PE foam, also called physically cross-linked PE foam
No chemically cross-linked foam (XPE) can be used for this project, sorry
30 kg per cubic meter density
White color
We prefer 1530mm width, but you can just quote per square meter at whatever width that you can make
Roll length to fit container loading
Foam thicknesses:
a) 3.2 mm thickness (plain backing, no adhesive) OK to use 3mm thickness instead
b) 6.4 mm thickness (plain backing, no adhesive) OK to use 6mm thickness instead
c) 4.8 mm thickness (with adhesive backing one side, must be acrylic adhesive) OK to use 5mm thickness instead
We will buy full 40 ft HC containers of mixed sizes. The volume is only about total 1 x 40 ft HC per month. We also buy larger quantities of laminated IXPE sheets; please see our other buying lead here.
Please do not contact me and ask first for samples. We have samples in our office in Shanghai but will only send them later to factories that are pre-qualified. If you are a plant that is making IXPE foam now, I think that you already know what it is, and that you know how to calculate density. I know how to use a gram scale and calculate density and I can assure you that we check every load and we are getting a 30-32kg per cubic meter foam.
If you are a broker who doesnt actually know what this foam is and is just hoping to get our samples and then get lucky by showing this around to factories in your area, sorry, but it really is not a good use of time for either of us. It is more productive for us to work with plants that are already making this material. Thanks for your understanding.
We are really just looking for plants that can be cost-competitive on a world-class basis. We already have many plants with good quality and good service and good delivery; we would expect these from you as well, and also expect very cost-competitive pricing.
Thanks for your consideration. I look forward to your quotations.
Best Regards,
John |
