Developing a new product on the cutting edge requires innovative thinking. Original equipment manufacturers are continually trying to break the mold with their new product designs, but sometimes the end product doesn’t work as intended. Usually, manufacturers use flat foam barriers, foam absorbers, and damping pads to control temperature, noise, and heat emitted from machinery … Read more How to Design and Develop a 3D Molded Foam Solution

Manufacturers often run into situations where they are dealing with extraordinarily high temperatures. Depending on the specific attributes of the situation, these temperatures can have a dramatic effect on the performance, safety, and longevity of a piece of equipment. Materials can quickly break down when exposed to high temperature or prolonged heat exposure. Choosing the … Read more Choosing the Right High Temperature Product Based on Application
UL 94 is a plastics flammability standard, also known as the Standard of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts. This standard was released by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to classify plastics based on how they burn, with orientation and thickness level determining a plastic’s tendency to extinguish or spread the flame once ignited, and how well … Read more UL 94 Compliance For Appliance and Device Materials: Everything You Need To Know
