In 1976, with a focus on foam fabrication, the company started precision molding cross-linked polyethylene foam components for the military, consumer, and industrial markets. 1984-1993 In 1988 UFP Technologies introduced compression molded medical protective packaging using specialized foams.
Lumi, Inc. is a Los Angeles–based company founded by Jesse Genet and Steph Ango that offers packaging and supply chain management software. The company got its start developing Inkodye, a photo-reactive vat dye that develops its color through exposure to UV or sunlight. [1] The company was acquired by Narvar in 2021.
Direct injection expanded foam molding (also known as injection molded foam) is a manufacturing process that creates soft foam products direct from a compound into a final product. [1] This process eliminates the steps normally required for die-cutting and compression molding , because it manufactures the foam and the product, simultaneously.
Polyethylene bead foams (including) EPE can be used to replace both polystyrene foam, and both rigid and flexible polyurethane. Uses include cushioning applications, and impact absorption applications including packaging. [4] Consumption of polyethylene for PE foam was estimated at 114x10 6 kg in 2001. The majority was used for non-crosslinked ...
Injection moulding (U.S. spelling: injection molding) is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould, or mold. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals (for which the process is called die-casting ), glasses , elastomers , confections , and most commonly ...
Full-mold casting is an evaporative-pattern casting process which is a combination of sand casting and lost-foam casting. It uses an expanded polystyrene foam pattern which is then surrounded by sand, much like sand casting. The metal is then poured directly into the mold, which vaporizes the foam upon contact. Full-mold casting
Siu mei with rice in a foam takeout container. A foam food container is a form of disposable food packaging for various foods and beverages, such as processed instant noodles, raw meat from supermarkets, ice cream from ice cream parlors, cooked food from delicatessens or food stalls, or beverages like "coffee to go".
Lost-foam casting (LFC) is a type of evaporative-pattern casting process that is similar to investment casting except foam is used for the pattern instead of wax. This process takes advantage of the low boiling point of polymer foams to simplify the investment casting process by removing the need to melt the wax out of the mold.
