RE: polyethylene foam plank
Karen,
In Houston, we have a local vendor by the
name of Sterling Manufacturing where we get our poly products. They make a
product they refer to as polylam. It is a polyethylene laminated product that is
softer than 2.2 poly plank. It has memory and works well for packing and
storage. We have used it in the past, but I prefer not to use it because it is
too soft, it crushes too easily under even a slight weight. It might be a
product that you can use. Their phone number is (713)
695-5333.

Hello all.
I am looking for a polyethylene "Ethafoam" plank in a
lower density than 2.2 lbs for packing and long-term storage.
We temporary
pack and move art work between our museums and around campus, using the grey
polyurethane foam because it is so soft.
I am looking for a
Polyethylene alternative in a low density that is soft enough for
packing, but can also translate into long term storage mounts.
Any
suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
