For 2016 we have decided to make the foam and bedding industry our main focus. So on Tuesday the U.S. Tensor team got a chance to tour one of our neighboring facilities, Omaha Bedding, and get a hands on look at how things are done. Omaha Bedding has been in business since 1865 and makes over 200 beds a day, so they were a perfect place for us to learn how they use adhesives to build their beds and in what ways we could help make their lives easier.

Upon entering the facility, we were in awe of the sheer size of the place and how everyone worked together like a well-oiled machine. We watched a couple of guys assemble a bed from the very base and glue in all of the comfy cushioning that we all appreciate. Then it was sent down the assembly line to have the quilted fabric patterns installed and then off to be packaged and prepared for shipping. Along the way we were able to snag some fabric samples of our own to test out and we were able to talk to some very friendly people in the warehouse (we were warned to watch out for the crazy forklift drivers). After managing to avoid any injuries from forklift drivers we all left the warehouse wanting new beds and feeling motivated to improve upon their processes.

We returned to our testing facility and dissected a mattress that Omaha Bedding had donated to us so we could better inspect their gluing placement and use. After a thorough inspection of the bed we decided to test out some of our own foam and upholstery adhesives on their bedding material. Within a few minutes and some trial and error we were able to determine our F30N product works best to build and hold the foam mattress box together. This glue is not only non-flammable, but it prevented the bed from having any sort of undesirable crackling noises many glues have when pressure is applied and it gave it a strong enough bond that the foam bedding failed under extreme pressure before the glue ever had a chance to even consider giving out.

If you would like to see F30N in action for yourself feel free to give us a call or send us a message and we would be happy to setup a demonstration and let you test it out yourself.
