Cross-linked polyethylene Berkosan
Berkosan chemically cross-linked polyethylene is a prime example of “budget” insulation that performs like a premium product. Thanks to its cross-linked molecular structure, the material withstands heavy loads and always returns to its original shape, without losing its integrity over the years. Its fine, closed-cell structure does not absorb moisture, dampens noise and vibrations, and reliably retains heat, while its smooth surface is easy to cut, glue, and layer with any material. Made from food-grade polyethylene, it is safe even for contact with food. The 1-meter-wide roll is a versatile format for walls, floors, and ceilings. ALLTRADE is the official representative of Berkosan in Ukraine.
