LAMATEK 4# Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam
Lamatek 4# Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam are some of the most versatile and widely used tapes. Polyethylene, or PE, is a lightweight, closed cell foam used for sealing, cushioning, and spacing. Polyethylene foam tape is easy to customize with a wide variety of available options. For example, you can choose single or double sided adhesive in a wide range of bonding strengths. We also keep several thicknesses of polyethylene foam in inventory.
