Hot press buffer material MF-20S


MF-20S is a heat-resistant sponge with excellent compression set developed for heat presses.
The advantage of sponges is that they distribute pressure evenly, which improves unevenness in press pressure, which in turn improves the defect rate.
Product yield improvement can be expected.
In addition, it improves compression set, which is a disadvantage of sponge, and can be used repeatedly (long-term life).
It is a product that also leads to cost reduction.
It can also be used as a packing or gasket by taking advantage of its excellent CS property.

1. demerits of conventional pressed cushioning materials
- Paper, film, and non-woven fabrics are one-way materials, and there are problems with inventory space and waste.
- Rubber and sponge are not resistant to heat and deteriorate.
- They are not heat resistant and deteriorate quickly, making them unusable.
- Gases are generated during pressing, contaminating the object and the press.
- Since the surface pressure is not constant, the press is pressed at high pressure, damaging the press machine. etc.
By using MF-20S, the above disadvantages can be solved.
2. compression set (CS value) data
MF-20S has the best compression set value among our fluorine sponges, especially in heat resistance.
compression set
It is an indicator of whether a rubber, resin, sponge, etc. will remain deformed (distorted) and not recover/restore when it is compressed and then released. For a simple example, a chest of drawers or a desk is placed on a tatami mat, and after a long period of time, the tatami mat is dented. This is an index to measure the state of deformation and non-restoration under pressure like this.
A CS value of 0% is a fully restored state.
