Dense foam cutting (or skiving) functions take place by compacting material between two rolls to then guide it through a fixed ultra-sharp blade. The width is controlled through the relative distance between the rolls and the blade and the level of compression required to direct the foam through the blade. Dividing / beveling with rolls allows for processing large quantities of work faster and the handling of higher-density materials.
Characteristics of the roll cutter:
- Slices through compression
- Faster with higher volumes
- It can handle higher-density foam
Drawbacks and inconveniences:
- Lower precision
- Higher potential variance within a blade and between blades

XLPE CROSSLINK
XLPE CROSSLINK
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or crosslink is a high density closed-foam cell characterized by its compact structure and resistance to water which allows the material to be produced, molded or thermoformed in many ways through compression.
We have a wide variety of XLPE blocks of densities that go from 1.3 lb / ft3 to 15 lb. / ft3. They are available in carbon and grey.
XLPE CHEMICALLY CROSS- LINKED ROLLS
XLPE CHEMICALLY CROSS- LINKED ROLLS
The chemically cross-linked polyethylene (XE) rolls are made of a polyethylene foam that expands in an oven after being extruded with the help of a chemical foaming agent (CFA). The XE roll has a larger cellular structure and a slightly thicker surface in comparison with the irradiated cross-linked polyethylene (XI)
XLPE IRRADIATED SERIES ROLLS
XLPE IRRADIATED SERIES ROLLS
Our rolls of irradiated cross-linked polyethylene (XI) are reticulated through irradiation. With this method the foam acquires a flat surface, uniform density and an even cellular structure with superior physical properties.
It consists of a solution of versatile and lasting foam, as it is resistant to the majority of chemical products and has a low water absorption rate
ZOTEFOAMS AZOTE SERIES
ZOTEFOAMS AZOTE SERIES
Worldwide Foam is proud to announce an agreement with Zotefoams to become its first and only Platinum Distributor in North America. Zotefoams is the world’s leading manufacturer of crosslinked polyethylene block foams. This association allows WF to offer products low in VOC and free of chemicals and that are readily available on the market.
ELASTOMERIC FOAM
ELASTOMERIC FOAM
Worldwide Foam carries a wide offering of elastomeric materials to support complex applications.
Our list of foam products for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is one of the most diverse in the industry attested to by the number of markets served by our manufacturing customers in North America. The materials we have in storage include neoprene, PVC, nitrile and EPDM.
SEALED AIR
SEALED AIR
Worldwide Foam is the preferred distributor of Sealed Air extruded polyethylene (PE) planks.
In Mexico we currently carry two products in the Sealed Air PE category: ETHAFOAM® and STRATOCELL®.
ETHAFOAM® is a high performance extruded closed cell polyethylene foam. STRATOCELL® is a thermolaminated polyethylene board that delivers high performance strong protection to packaging and non-packaging applications.
PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES (PSA)
PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES (PSA)
We offer a wide array of pressure sensitive adhesives products (PSA) which adapt to various applications. We can laminate PSA in foam sheets and rolls or we can supply only the adhesive, as the customer requires.
