Regulatory & Compliance

Cross-linked polyethylene foam is considered as an "article” according to REACH regulations. Therefore UFM can be seen as a REACH downstream user (and not as a producer, importer or user).

Technical Details & Test Data

Comments on the Norms

Determination of Bulk Density DIN ISO 845

According to the norm, the density is measured on the full thickness after the removal of the skins. The test pieces are 100 mm x 100 mm x net thickness. Please note smaller pieces cut out from the middle of the bun may have lower density.


Compressive Stress DIN ISO 3386-1

According to the norm, the compressive strength is measured on a test specimen, which has a width/thickness ratio of 2:1 ( 50mm x 50mm x 25mm) and a surface of 25cm2. The speed is 100mm/min. Differing from the norm the force is read in the first cycle.


Determination of Compression Set DIN EN ISO 1856

Differing from the norm the test piece is deflected by 25% of its thickness and held for 22h at a room temperature of 23ºC.


Test for Dimensional Stability DIN EN ISO 2796

Differing from the norm the specimen is tested only by dry conditions in a temperature but not humidity-controlled chamber. This information is presented to our best knowledge. All test data are average values and should be considered as guidelines only.

Safety & Health

Environmental Awareness
