Rubberized Gel Foam
Rubberized Gel Foam
Rubberized Gel Foam is exclusive material developed for comfortable & cushioning mat material. Geltec team used the PU Gel material and blended it into the rubber material. The rubber is used as the carrier to retain PU Gel’s physical properties of the buffering and shock absorption features and modified by rubber transforming process to strengthen the tensile strength, tearing force, slip resistance and oil resistance.
Through the process and processing technology, Rubberized Gel Foam is foamed into a “closed cell” structure and one-piece construction. The closed cell foam structure will not absorb the liquids and is easy to clean up. The one-piece construction has a soft upper layer and a dense under layer to provide excellent buffering and supporting effects. The specific gravity (sp.gr) of Rubberized Gel Foam is about 0.2. Compared with the solid PU Gel material, it is lighter weight and its cost is significantly reduced. Rubberized Gel Foam provides users with applications for sports protection, industrial safety, and household life.
Unique process technology and development purpose
Characteristics of Rubberized Gel Foam
● Unique and patented manufacturing process
The material structure and the manufacturing process for Rubberized Gel Foam
is both patented. It is closed Cell Foam structure and one-piece
construction for easy to clean up and maintain. Also the unique one-piece
construction is processed with a soft upper layer and a firmer under layer
in the range of 2 to 3 degrees by Shore C durometer. It provides the mat
with better stability and comfortable characteristics.
● Available choice for various applications
In order to meet the needs of different purposes, Geltec further adjusts the
compressive stress and other physical properties of Rubberized Gel Foam to
create 2 major categories: comfort type and heavy-duty type. It gives the
customer a great ability to cope with the versatile applications of the mat.
Type: | Comfort | Heavy Duty |
Suitable applications | Production line/ checkout counter / standing sales / fixing room / required long standing packaging line / protection mat for infant and old people. | Heavy duty working environment/ High pressure resistance environment/ especially design for barrier-free environment. |
● Special processing mode results with a unique
style
During the production process, Geltec has developed a series of special
processing modes for Rubberized Gel Foam. This is to execute the processing
of the mat material, which can result in flexible mat sizes, product shapes,
and even different functional applications.
