WZ-40: Great performance 2.5lb Plastazote 

WZ-40 2.5lb/ft (40 kg/m) XLPE is another Plastazote exclusive to Worldwide. The key feature is a fabricator-friendly size that maximizes the material yield. The 48″x80″ bun size optimizes material usage by seamlessly integrating with most North American fabricating equipment. Other benefits include low VOCs, uniform density/cell structure, and vibrant colors. 

WZ-40 Q&A:

• Q: Is WZ-40 a Zotefoams material?
  A: Yes. WZ-40 is made by Zotefoams using their proprietary nitrogen expansion process, resulting in foams with exceptional uniformity, purity, and low odor.
• Q: How is WZ-40 different from LD-45?
  A: WZ-40 is made using the same manufacturing process and polymer as LD-45. The density is slightly lower than LD-45 (2.5lb vs 2.8lb). WZ-40 was developed with North American fabricators in mind. It comes in a more fabricator-friendly 1.375”x48”x80” bun size, which translates to better yielding.
• Q: What colors are available?
  A: Red, blue, and black. The bun size is 1.375”x48”x80”.
• Q: Is it fire retardant?
  A: The WZ-40 passes the FMVSS-302 flammability test at 3.4” per min burn rate.
• Q: Is WZ-40 more expensive than traditional XLPE foam?
  A: While WZ-40 has a slightly higher price tag, its improved performance and aesthetics can offer greater value for your project.
• Q: What are the common applications for WZ-40?
  A: While WZ-40 works in various applications including packaging, sporting goods like helmet padding, gaskets, seals, and floor underlayment, it excels in tool control and case insert applications due to its vibrant color and fine cell structure.
• Q: How do I order a full truckload?
