JSP International launches the new foam material, ARPLANK in Europe. ARPLANK is a highly resilient closed-cell material in plank form, made from expanded polyethylene (EPE) bead foam. It is the ideal product for applications such as packaging and cushioning, expandable and returnable dunnage, thermal management and flotation.
100% Recyclable, Effective Packaging Material
ARPLANK is a product made from high quality, non-cross-linked EPE foam that is 100% recyclable. ARPLANK is made and distributed in EMEA and contains 25% recycled content. It is one of the most effective packaging materials on the market, with the ability to absorb multiple impacts as well as being sustainable and lightweight. The thermally bonded polyethylene beads create a three-dimensional performance that absorbs and dissipates energy.
This isotropic behavior means ARPLANK is multidirectional in nature. This same performance in all 3 axes combined with its fine surface protects surface-sensitive or painted goods and makes it an ideal product for protective packaging applications.
ARPLANK is chemically inert, is made without VOC blowing agents, does not contain other ozone-depleting compounds and is odorless. It does not contain any heavy metals, halogen or brominated compounds.
ARPLANK sales manager, Jiri Slezak commented, “
Being one of the most sustainable and lightweight products on the market, JSP would like encourage companies to use ARPLANK to make high-quality, innovative packaging solutions. The material has been used to make load carriers, CKD packaging, structural packaging, inserts and also die-cut products. ARPLANK can be fabricated by commonly used operations such as die cutting, splitting, water jet, laser, CNC milling and sawing.”
