Innovation is at the heart of what we do at Excel Packaging, and we’re proud to introduce the latest addition to our specialist materials range – XLPU Rigid Polyurethane (PU) Foam.

Designed and manufactured for versatility, XLPU Foam bridges the gap between creative and technical applications. Whether you’re shaping scenery for the big screen, fabricating detailed architectural models, or engineering lightweight composite cores, this high-performance material delivers consistent results every time.

A Smarter Material for Makers, Builders, and Engineers

XLPU Rigid Polyurethane (PU) Foam is available in a wide range of densities from 32 kg/m³ up to 320 kg/m³, giving you the freedom to choose the right balance of strength, stability, and workability. Supplied as rigid polyurethane foam sheets and blocks (2440 x 1220mm), and cut to your required thickness, it’s ideal for everything from lightweight modelling foam to precision-engineered tooling and composite applications.

With excellent dimensional stability, smooth CNC machining and carving characteristics, and compatibility with most adhesives, resins, and coatings, XLPU Foam is a pleasure to work with. Its fine, uniform cell structure ensures predictable performance whether you’re hot-wiring, hand-sanding, laminating, or bonding.

Endless Possibilities Across Industries

From film set construction and prop making to engineering prototypes and composite panel fabrication, XLPU Foam opens up a world of opportunities. Its combination of low weight and high compressive strength makes it ideal for:

  • Sculpting and shaping for film, theatre, and exhibition sets
  • Model making, SFX work, and architectural prototypes
  • Pattern, mould, and tool production
  • Composite and sandwich panel core materials

Whatever your field, XLPU Foam provides a solid, stable foundation for creative and technical projects alike.

Reliable Supply and Fast Turnaround

At Excel Packaging, we understand that deadlines matter. That’s why XLPU Rigid Polyurethane (PU) Foam is available on short lead times, typically 5–7 days and is cut to order. Our team can advise on foam density selection, sheet thickness, and cutting options, ensuring you get exactly what you need, when you need it.
