Understanding Military Performance Specifications for Foam

For industries that require materials on a large scale, consistency and quality are two of the most important considerations when thousands or even millions of products are being impacted by a batch of materials. This is important not only for one order, but as more and more orders are placed over time, each set of materials is expected to perform to the same specifications as the previous ones, and all orders that follow.

Rebond Foam for Commercial Applications

Products intended for commercial use in hotels, restaurants, airports, and similar venues must be chosen with durability in mind. The sheer amount of wear and tear that commercial facilities are subject to is greater than anything seen in even the liveliest households. People are less careful to protect and preserve something that doesn’t belong to them. As a result, it’s not surprising that commercial products need to either be tough or face frequent repair and replacement in their lifetime. ... (Read More)

Seal the Deal with Foam Factory for Your Gasketing Needs

A gasket is the epitome of “small but strong,” and while they go unnoticed in almost all of their applications, they are also one of the main reasons machinery is able to perform at peak efficiency.

The issue ... (Read More)

Protect Sensitive Electronics with Anti-Static Foam

Any person concerned with the security of goods being shipped or stored understands the importance of appropriate packaging. Not only is opening a box to find a damaged item a disappointment, poorly packed items result in unnecessary costs to both buyers and sellers. Using foam is one of the best ways to make sure something leaves a box in its original condition. Certain products though, may require an extra degree of protection that standard foam is unable to provide. ... (Read More)
