Instapak® is high performance packaging foam that moulds around the contours of the product and provides excellent cushioning against shock and vibration hazards. The product is, in effect, suspended within the package.

The foam is produced by a machine that blends two chemicals, Component A (polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate) and Component B (a liquid polyurethane resin mixture). Once dispensed, the foam takes just seconds to expand which speeds up the packaging process. A range of Instapak® foams is available and each formulation offers varying levels of memory and rigidity. Our sales advisers can arrange for an analysis of an organisation’s product in order to determine the type and amount of foam that is required to provide the best packaging solution. 

The CFC free foam expands up to 280 times its liquid volume saving on warehouse space that would otherwise be allocated to packing operations and voidfill storage. It can be broken up after use and used as voidfill and utility dunnage. The foam can be disposed of in  normal collection systems and, being composed of 95% air, it can be compressed to 10% of the original size so it takes up less landfill space. Alternatively both the foam and the drums can be returned to Sealed Air for reprocessing. The foam is currently recycled as carpet underlay, acoustic panels and construction board and the drums are supplied to a refurbisher.
