Low-density foam ordering
What is LDPE?
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) foam is a type of foam that is known for its low weight. The density is related to the arrangement of atoms or particles. When the gap between particles is wide, it won’t have a high density and can therefore float. If the particles are crowded together with no space between them, the density will be greater. LDPE foam, due to its low density, has many favorable qualities like water resistance, chemical resistance, energy absorption, buoyancy, and cushioning qualities, which make it practical for a large variety of uses. More dense foams have a higher compressive strength, and this strength decreases as the density decreases.
A special structure known as cells is formed when both solids and gases are combined. The closed cells in Foamiran foams make them popular in a variety of industries. Different categories exist for the LDPE foams in the Foamiran assortment which vary in terms of purpose and technical details

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polyethylene foam and low-density LDPE foam?
In terms of density, polyethylene is a material that is divided into three categories of raw material low density, medium density, and high density. Low-density LDPA foam is a light and affordable foam that has many uses.
Is TVRG foam colored?
Yes, TVRG foams can be produced in yellow, orange, red, tiffany, phosphorescent, blue, lilac, black, and gray colors, but due to two-step baking, they are lighter in color.
Can LDPE foam be used for acoustics and sound insulation foam?
The answer to this question is a bit complicated. Currently, our R&D team has succeeded in producing a practical product to reduce environmental noise with TVRG / LDPE sound insulation foam. The important thing is that it is wrong to think that the sound and acoustics are completely zero by this foam.
What is the difference between LDPE foam and TVRG foam?
They are the same. There is no difference between them and both mean low-density polyethylene foam.

What is LDPE Foam (TVRG Foam)? ✧
LDPE foam, also known as TVRG foam, is a type of plastic foam made from low-density polyethylene. Thanks to its unique properties—such as being lightweight, excellent shock absorption, high flexibility, and moisture resistance—it has found extensive applications across various industries. This material features a closed-cell structure that prevents water penetration and inhibits the growth of microorganisms, allowing it to maintain exceptional durability even in humid environments.
In other words, TVRG foam strikes a perfect balance between strength and softness. It feels as soft as a pillow yet acts as a robust shield against impacts. Because of these combined qualities, it’s widely used in many fields, ranging from packaging and insulation to medical and sports equipment.
Key Advantages of TVRG Foam
- Closed-cell structure
TVRG foam consists of closed cells that block moisture, vapor, and suspended particles from penetrating. This not only prevents water and liquid absorption but also inhibits the growth of fungi, mold, and bacteria. As a result, this type of foam is an ideal choice for use in moist, sanitary environments such as cold storage facilities, industrial kitchens, medical centers, and even specialized children’s equipment. Additionally, this characteristic contributes to the foam’s extended lifespan and easier maintenance. - Superior shock absorption and cushioning properties
One of the most outstanding features of TVRG foam is its high capacity for shock absorption. Its cushion-like structure absorbs energy from impacts and vibrations, protecting both products and individuals from damage. This makes TVRG foam a preferred material for packaging delicate items like medical equipment, electronic components, and glassware. It is also widely used in manufacturing sports flooring and protective gear for physical training. - High flexibility and rapid shape recovery
TVRG foam is highly flexible and resists deformation under pressure. Once the pressure is released, it quickly returns to its original shape. This property makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring continuous pressure endurance, such as sports pads, industrial shock absorbers, and reusable products. - Lightweight and highly portable
Thanks to its low density, TVRG foam is exceptionally lightweight, which facilitates transportation and installation. In contexts where weight is critical—like portable medical devices, lightweight sports pads, or mobile protective gear—TVRG foam plays a crucial role. Its lightness also helps reduce transportation costs. - Thermal and acoustic insulation
Naturally resistant to sound, heat, and cold transmission, TVRG foam serves as an effective insulator in industrial, construction, and acoustic applications. It’s commonly used in flooring, wall panels, soundproofing systems, and ventilation units, helping prevent energy loss while creating a quieter, more isolated environment. - Resistance to water, chemicals, and oils
TVRG foam isn’t just water-resistant; its unique chemical composition also makes it stable against many solvents, oils, and chemicals. This makes it well-suited for industrial environments, production lines, laboratories, and even exposure to corrosive substances. - Easy cleaning and maintenance
When surface contamination occurs, TVRG foam can be easily cleaned using water and mild detergents. It dries quickly after washing and retains its original quality. This makes it an excellent option for use in places requiring high hygiene standards, such as kindergartens, sports clubs, and public facilities. - Stable performance across a wide temperature range
TVRG foam performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F). This allows it to withstand cold storage conditions, outdoor environments, and areas near heat sources without losing its shape, insulating properties, or physical integrity.
Major Applications of TVRG Foam Across Industries
- Packaging Industry
With its high shock absorption, lightweight nature, and easy cutting and molding capabilities, TVRG foam is an ideal material for packaging sensitive products like electronic equipment, industrial parts, glass, and ceramics. - Acoustic and Sound Insulation
Egg-crate shaped versions of this foam are used to reduce sound reflection and diffuse sound waves in indoor spaces such as studios, cinemas, and conference rooms. Thanks to its wavy structure and low density, acoustic TVRG foam lowers sound echoes and improves audio quality. - Construction Industry
TVRG foam is used as an insulating material for walls, floors, and ceilings. Its placement beneath parquet or ceramic flooring helps control sound and heat transmission. - Automotive Industry
This foam is employed in producing gaskets, cushions, cabin sound insulation, hood liners, and vibration damping in vehicles. Its flexibility and resistance to varying temperatures make it highly suitable for automotive applications. - Medical Equipment
TVRG foam is used for sterile packaging of medical devices or as bases for machines and protective pads. Its lightweight and washable nature are key benefits in this field. - Electronics Industry
It protects electronic components, sensitive circuit boards, and accessories from vibrations. Foam inserts in hardware packaging boxes are often made from TVRG foam. - Sports Goods Manufacturing
Used in lightweight protective gear such as pads, training shoes, and workout cushions. Its excellent shock-absorbing properties help prevent injuries during physical activities. - Vehicles, Pipelines, and Storage Tanks
Used as a thermal insulating layer on pipelines and tanks. Also applied in public transportation vehicles like train and metro cars.
