Foam roller Polax 5 cm thickness Ø35 mm — cylindrical foam strip for packaging and cushioning

Polax foam roller with 5 cm thickness and 35 mm diameter is a cylindrical foam strip designed for packaging and cushioning applications. Made from flexible, lightweight foam, the roller can be cut to length or shaped to fit edges, corners and irregular surfaces. It reduces impact, vibration and surface abrasion during transport or storage and is suitable for use in household, workshop and shipping environments.

Advantages

The foam roller offers flexible cushioning that conforms to different shapes while maintaining consistent thickness and support. Its lightweight construction simplifies handling and reduces added shipping weight. The material resists compression to provide ongoing protection and can be trimmed with common cutting tools for custom fits. The cylindrical form enables easy placement around pipes, rods and fragile items to prevent direct contact and absorb shocks.

Suitable for

• Protecting glassware, ceramics and electronics during transport
• Edge and corner protection for framed items and furniture
• Sealing gaps and vibration damping in packaging assemblies
• Insulating and protecting pipes, rods or irregular profiles

Key specifications

• Material type: flexible protective foam
• Thickness: 5 cm
• Diameter: 35 mm
• Form factor: cylindrical strip, cut-to-length
• Weight characteristic: lightweight, low added shipping mass
• Processing: easily cut, shaped and trimmed with standard tools

How to use

Measure the length needed and cut the foam roller with a sharp knife or utility cutter to obtain a clean edge. Fit the cylindrical strip around the item to be protected or place it along edges and corners inside boxes. For secure placement, use tape, adhesive or stretch the foam slightly if the profile allows; otherwise fix with soft ties or packaging staples where appropriate. Inspect the protective layer before shipping and replace sections that show compression or wear.

Usage recommendations

Store the foam roller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to preserve material integrity. For repeated shipments or heavy items, combine the foam strip with additional padding or rigid inserts to distribute loads evenly. Avoid contact with solvents, strong oils or sharp objects that can degrade the foam. When cutting, work on a stable surface and follow safety guidance for hand tools.
