When it comes to the automotive industry, the materials used must meet specific requirements to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers and drivers. Dal-Bac Manufacturing, a trusted supplier in the automotive sector, adheres to industry regulations such as FMVSS 302, which mandates the use of flame-retardant and self-extinguishing polyurethane foam. Our catalog includes foams that meet these flammability standards, ensuring the highest level of safety.
Flame Laminating Polyurethane Foam to Various Materials
At Dal-Bac Manufacturing, we specialize in flame laminating polyurethane foam to various materials, including fabrics and vinyl, based on our customers’ needs. Depending on the design specifications, we can laminate different foam thicknesses, widths, and roll lengths. For instance, we use various adhesives to laminate polyurethane foam to materials like leather, and we can also bond polyurethane foam directly to leather.
Fabric Lamination
For fabric lamination, we use materials that meet flammability requirements and customer-specified density. Typically, we use either polyether or polyester polyurethane foam with low density to ensure long-lasting lamination and passenger comfort.
Vinyl Lamination
Similarly, for vinyl lamination, we use thicker foam, either polyether or polyester polyurethane, to meet flammability and density requirements, ensuring durability and comfort.
