ATV manufacturers are in a league of their own when creating vehicles. Sure, there are similarities between the ATV industry and other big machinery, but on a smaller scale. To understand the needs within the ATV market, foam and rubber manufacturers must know the whole industry inside and out.
Luckily, Polymer Technologies has been in the molded foam and rubber game for over 30 years. Our engineers constantly keep an ear to the ground regarding advancements and other discoveries. We work hard to ensure we are knowledgeable about every industry we provide for, including the ATV market.
So, why should you partner with us? The answer is simple: we provide custom options to all our customers, allowing them to meet specific needs.
From Molded Rubber and Foam to Heat Shields
As any ATV manufacturer knows, finding the correct size part for their vehicles means the difference between a long-term, well-performing ATV and one that will have problems from the start. While there are quite a few molded rubber and foam companies out there, you want to be sure the one you decide to use will have your specific needs and desires at heart.
For many years, Polymer Technologies has worked hand-in-hand with each of our customers to meet their challenges with solutions that will put them above and beyond expectations. We offer our customers uniquely customized rubber, foam, and heat shield solutions. All of these are solutions that most ATV manufacturers are looking for.
So, how do our solutions prove to be best for ATVs? Let’s break it down.
Custom Molded Rubber
Our experts prioritize your goals when engineering molded rubber parts. While they may not eliminate all noise, they significantly reduce amplitude by minimizing sound traveling through the floor or outside the vehicle.
So, how do these parts help with ATVs? Polymer Technologies experts apply what your company needs for your ATVs to our custom molded foam options. We create floor mats and gap closeout mats uniquely designed to fit your ATV’s specifications.
Custom Molded Foam
Our POLYFORM® Molded Foam, developed by our PMP Division, takes polyurethane foam to the next level by molding it into unique shapes. These shapes are perfectly adaptable to the size of ATV parts compared to other oversized industry vehicles.
Our molded foams serve various purposes and help solve noise, vibration, and thermal challenges. Specifically, POLYFORM® can create engine covers, insulation panels, over-molding for hand grips, molded shields, gap closeouts, and other components for grip, crash protection, and cushioning.
Industry-Specific Heat Shields
Our knowledge and expertise extend beyond foams and rubber. Polymer has also become well-equipped to handle heat-related challenges requiring heat shields. Our products are perfectly customizable for vehicles of all sizes and allow these vehicles to operate at peak performance.
We take pride in our work with heat shields, offering products easily applied to fuel tanks, fenders, and other panels using peel-and-stick adhesive backing. With the ability to withstand temperatures up to 1000°F and positioned ¼” from the radiant heat source, our heat shields are the ideal solution for ATVs.
Other Standard Acoustical Products
Looking at acoustics and how they affect your vehicle’s performance will often fall under our molded foam category. However, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t draw attention to our expertise in finding those perfect solutions. After all, molded foam is suitable for various uses for vehicle protection. However, our acoustical-specific products are best for your sound absorption concerns.
Our POLYDAMP® Acoustical Foams (PAF) and POLYDAMP® Melamine Foams (PMF) are some of our most popular solutions for off-road vehicles. PAF offers sound absorption while providing excellent heat, moisture, and chemical resistance. PMF is an extremely lightweight material with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
Your Challenges Today = Polymer Technologies Solutions Tomorrow
At the end of the day, deciding who you want to assist with the final product of your ATVs is a significant one. Polymer Technologies has been serving our customers with custom solutions since our inception, and we know how much thought and planning go into each decision when manufacturing vehicles.
Aside from our successful line of molded foam and rubber products, our reputation remains one of positive collaboration and partnership. Our loyal customers know they can count on us to take their challenges and ideas to the next level, creating solutions above and beyond their needs. We work side-by-side with our customers during the planning, creation, and application process to ensure that every element is to their satisfaction and meets their specifications.
More than that, we work with the construction and aerospace industries, so we know the difference between them and what ATV manufacturers want in their products. Our solutions are custom because we understand that no two projects are the same, and the final product should reflect that.
Contact us if you are looking for better solutions for manufacturing parts for your ATVs. We would love to hear your thoughts and work with you to find the best answers.
