ZOTEK® NC35

Plastazote® LD45 is a closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam with a nominal density of 45kg/m3.

Part of the Zotefoams Azote® range, LD45 foam offers the optimal balance of durability, cushioning, and ease of fabrication. Compared to lower-density grades (such as LD24 or LD33), LD45 is preferred when superior structural integrity, better shock absorption, or a more precise finish is required. It also retains its shape and thickness better under sustained, heavy loads (reduced creep). As such, Plastazote® LD45 is the best all-around grade for applications requiring a balance of protective cushioning and structural support.

At Polyformes, we are official distributors of the full range of Zotefoams materials. Our in-house equipment allows us to cost-effectively supply LD45 foam sheets at the exact size and thickness you require, or convert them into packaging or other foam products as required.
