The global foam market is estimated to be USD 112.9 billion by 2030 and a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. In 2030, the Indian foam industry is expected to grow US$ 5.18 billion with a CAGR of 8.0%. The foam compression test helps in analyzing the features to compare various types of foams and pre-determine their suitable application.

Application of foams
The foam has a wide variety of applications in different industries due to its peculiar properties.

• Packaging material: During the whole logistic process protection of the product is very important and a good compressive foam will ensure the safety.
• Medical products: Foam is used in orthopedic cushions, hospital mattresses, and prosthetics to enhance patient comfort.
• Insulation: Foam is highly utilized for thermal and acoustic insulation in construction, refrigeration, and automotive applications.
• Cushioning and padding: Due to this unique feature of shock absorption it can be used in Automotive Seating and Interior, furniture, mattresses, and upholstery, Sporting Goods
• Air Filtration: It has the property to stick dust and particles used in air purifiers.
• Construction and Building Materials: Applied in construction for purposes such as lightweight filler, roofing materials, and insulation boards.
• Seals gaskets: As foam consists of insulation and vibration damping property it is applicable for seals gaskets.
• Soundproofing: Foam has a unique property to absorb and dampen sound, so it can be applied in studios, theaters, and homes.

We can observe how important it is to evaluate compressive strength to enhance the quality of the foam. So Pacorr professional understands the need of the manufacturer and meticulously designed the Foam compression tester following all the international guidelines ASTM D642, ASTM D 4169, ISO 2234:2015, EN ISO 12048.

What is the importance of compression testing on foam?
Compression testing helps to evaluate ductile fracture load and plastic behavior of the material under the extreme crushing load. What if there will be low compression strength of foam? What will be the effect? What happens to the fragile products if there will be low compressive strength foam? To avoid the rejection due to discrepancy and monetary loss, foam compression test is very important.

Pacorr Foam Compression Tester anticipates the compressive strength of the foam which will meet the required quality standards and specifications. By using Pacorr compression tester you can determine the very precise value of maximum compression bearing capacity. It consists of 4 load sensors which meticulously test the external compressive force at which fracture or deformation of foam occur. This test is preferred to check the strength and stiffness of the foam to assess its quality.

We can customize this lab testing machine as per your requirement by varying the sizes of load cells and capacity of the compression tester.
