Thermoformable

WT Burnett’s flexible foams are suited for thermoforming, a manufacturing process where the foam sheet is heated and shaped over a mold using vacuum or pressure. This allows for the creation of custom-contoured parts across applications.

Mechanism of Action

The application of heat softens the foam and makes it pliable enough to be drawn or pressed into the desired shape of the mold.

Key Benefits

  • Creation of Complex Shapes

    Enables the production of intricate and three-dimensional forms.

  • Efficient Manufacturing

    Relatively fast and cost-effective for producing large quantities of parts.

  • Design Flexibility

    Allows for the creation of custom designs tailored to application requirements.

  • Used in Automotive Interiors

    Commonly used for headliners, door panels, and other interior components.

  • Packaging Applications

    Suitable for creating custom protective packaging inserts.

Considerations

The thermoforming properties of a foam depend on chemical composition, density, and thickness. Contact us to learn more about foam grades and processing parameters for thermoforming.
