STPE200 (also sold under the trade names Jiffy, Stratocell or Ethafoam) is a medium density non cross linked expanded polyethylene foam which comes in a plank/sheet style. It feels slightly 'waxy' to the touch, and you've probably seen it or used it before without knowing what the name of this foam is.
It is a very versatile, light weight and flexible foam which is clean and non-abrasive. It provides excellent protection against persistent shocks. It is the preferred packing and shipping choise for computers, monitors, and many other sensetive items (e.g, valuable objects).
