This closed cell polyethylene (PE) foam is perfect to create shoe insoles. It is durable, lightweight, flexible, resilient, and has low water absorption. It is also is antimicrobial, which means it inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.
The closed cell structure of this foam prevents absorption, so it will not absorb water or sweat. It is non-toxic, & odorless. It can be washed, disinfected and wiped clean. To wash it is recommended to use cold water, no bleach. Hang dry or machine dry on the lowest temperature.

What is a closed cell foam?
Closed cell foam is defined as a cell totally enclosed by its walls and hence not interconnecting with other cells. Closed-cell foams have a structure that is made of millions of tiny bubbles, sealed off from each other providing resistance to water, in addition to a strength and rigidity not present in open-cell foams.
