| | .jpg) | This is a more exotic and cleaner packaging material than Rubberized Curled Hair. Polyurethane foams, both rigid and flexible, are formed by a chemical process. Prepolymer and a catalyst combine to chemically form the urethane in the various densities described in our technical bulletins. Both flexible and rigid polyurethane packaging can be purchased in densities ranging from 2 pounds to approximately 30 pounds. You will find, however, that most applications run generally in the 2 to 8 pound category. | |

| | .jpg) | The first step in producing molded foam is the development of a mold, either temporary or permanent. A temporary mold is usually composed of good hardwood and can be used for production runs of up to 500 pieces before it deteriorates. When larger quantities are desired, it is wise to order an aluminum mold. A mold of this type is almost indestructible and can be used for several thousand pieces. For large runs, it is necessary to use multiple molds. | |

| | .jpg) | We do supply packaging samples, however, if prototype tooling were required there would be a tooling charge for the tool and 2 samples. Since the process of developing a custom mold is an expensive one involving labor, material and technical know-how, we feel that this is a fair policy. | |

| | .jpg) | In the manufacture of the polyurethanes, both flexible and rigid, there is no room for any margin of error. Once the material has been mixed and poured into the mold, it is final. If our calculations of your requirements are not correct, our product could be a total loss. So if the product data you give is correct, we'll produce a job that will make you proud you chose Flextron for your packaging requirements. | |
