polyethylene foam (<plastic by composition or origin>, plastic (material), ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Matreial made of thermoplastic polymer or copolymer of ethylene, forming a durable, lightweight, resilient, closed-cell material. Often used for packaging fragile goods due to its excellent vibration dampening and insulation properties. It also offers high resistance to chemicals and moisture.
