Types Of Transport Cushioning Materials

The main types of transportation cushioning materials include foamed plastic cushioning materials, air cushioning materials, paper cushioning packaging materials, and plant fiber cushioning packaging materials.

Foamed plastic cushioning materials are a common type, such as EVA packaging cushioning materials. EVA materials have high resilience, shock absorption, moisture resistance, and corrosion resistance, and their raw materials are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable.

Paper cushioning packaging materials include honeycomb cardboard. As a cushioning packaging material, honeycomb cardboard is lightweight, inexpensive, high-strength, and recyclable. Its cushioning mechanism is related to the viscoelasticity of the material; it can store and dissipate energy when deformed under stress.

Plant fiber cushioning packaging materials use plant fibers, starch, etc., as raw materials and are formed through foaming technology. They have advantages such as renewable and biodegradable raw materials and good cushioning performance. Their forming mechanism involves water bridging between fibers and the formation of a fiber network.
