Modern hospitals rely on advanced medical equipment such as X-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI systems, and diagnostic platforms for daily operations. Inside these devices, structural materials play a critical role—not just in assembly, but in ensuring vibration resistance, shock absorption, and component stability over time.
Foam is no longer limited to outer packaging. Today, it serves as an internal structural material—absorbing impact, providing mechanical support, and stabilizing internal assemblies. Among available options, microcellular polyurethane (PU) foam stands out for its high resilience, low compression set, eco-compliance, and excellent process compatibility—making it a preferred choice for many medical electronics manufacturers.
| Application Area | Functional Role |
|---|---|
| CT/X-ray sliding rail stops | Shock mitigation, position limiting, impact protection |
| Vibration structures inside outer housings | Noise reduction, anti-loosening, structure longevity |
| LCD module internal support blocks | Energy absorption, shape stabilization, vibration dampening |
| Precision electronics packaging | Lightweight, customizable protection during transport |
High Compression Recovery
Maintains original shape after prolonged loading; consistent support throughout device lifespan.
Stable Mechanical Performance
Fine, uniform cell structure ensures reliable response under stress.
Aging & Chemical Resistance
Suitable for humid, high-temperature environments; compatible with standard disinfection routines.
Non-crosslinked & Eco-friendly
RoHS and REACH compliant; recyclable and low-emission.
Excellent Process Compatibility
Easy to die-cut, laminate, and apply adhesive backing—enabling smooth integration in complex assemblies.
| Performance Indicator | Microcellular PU Foam | EVA / EPE Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Rebound & Deformation Control | Quick rebound, low permanent set | Collapses easily, poor recovery |
| Processing Compatibility | Suitable for die-cutting, bonding | Limited precision, process issues |
| Durability & Stability | Anti-fatigue, aging-resistant | Hardens over time, loses structure |
| Environmental Compliance | Recyclable, non-crosslinked | Typically non-recyclable |
| Odor & Appearance | Clean, odorless | Prone to smell and residue |
| Module | Our Support Capability |
|---|---|
| Material Customization | Adjustable hardness, thickness, color—tailored to specific structural needs |
| Export Compliance | Materials compliant with RoHS, REACH, and other international standards |
| Global Supply | Direct shipping from Thailand & Vietnam to Europe, US, and Southeast Asia |
As the medical electronics industry evolves toward more stable and long-lasting systems, the quality and consistency of structural materials become foundational to device performance.
Microcellular PU foam provides cushioning, gap-filling, and structural support where it matters most—serving as a critical layer in building robust medical devices.
