Instapak foam fillers

Packing in Instapak polyurethane foam

•      A safe way to protect packaged products against shocks and impacts during handling and transport (most often in combination with a cardboard box)
•      Minimal material consumption
•      Used in packaging of glass, porcelain, pieces of art, antiques, musical instruments, sanitary ware, computers, sensitive appliances, furniture and sets of fragile products

Instapak polyurethane (PUR) foam packing principle

•      PUR foam (components A and B) injected into special bags increases in volume as it solidifies (which occurs when the components are mixed), it flows around the product and fills the free space in the box where the product is placed
•      The volume of Instapak® PUR foam when injected into the filling space increases up to 280 times the volume of the original liquid
•      The foam, stored in two 210-litre barrels, is equivalent to the volume of the storage space of a lorry
•      The Instapak® polyurethane foam guarantees the creation of perfect, diversely shaped fillings for a wide range of products
•      The customer receives a product undamaged by transport and handling, packed neatly and professionally with a very low weight
•      The created mouldings are then reusable (the product can be taken out and put back)

Advantages of packaging in Instapak® polyurethane foam

•      An economical way of packaging, which dramatically reduces the cost of packaging material
•      Easy and safe handling with high packaging productivity
•      Impact-resistant packaging for small and large, fragile or heavy products
•      Easy and quick application
•      Low storage and transport costs of packaging before use
•      Low package weight
•      Reusable
•      Recyclable

Types of Instapak® foams

There are several types of INSTAPAK foams, which differ mainly in their density and elasticity:

Instafill

•      Density of 6 kg/m3 (8 kg/m3 if lighter foam is used)
•      Production of mouldings (also produced in TART, both on manual and SpeedyPacker systems)
•      Most flexible

Moulding

•      Density of 10–11 kg/m3 (depends on flexibility)
•      Production of mouldings (also produced in TART, both on manual and SpeedyPacker systems)
•      Less flexible G-Flex

G-Flex

•      Density of 22 kg/m3 (comparable to polystyrene)
•      Least flexible
•      Production of mouldings (also produced in TART, both on manual and SpeedyPacker systems)

Rigid

•      Density of 23 kg/m3
•      Not flexible at all

Instafill Slow rise

•      Not sold here, but foam storage can be offered
•      Barrel size of 60 l or 210 l (G-Flex does not have 60 l barrels)
•      Most flexible

Instapak Foam Applications

Instapak® foam mouldings can be used for single products, small or large batches. There are also application methods for individual quantities. The larger the product series, the lower the cost of individual packaging.

INSTAPAK QUICK—foam bags for single products

INSTAPAK SIMPLE—simple system for creating cushions for smaller batches

INSTAPAK 901—foam application with a gun. For bulkier applications (film width up to 120 cm)

INSTAPAK TABLETOP—simple system for creating cushions for medium batches

INSTAPAK COMPLETE—system for creating an endless line of foam tubes (with adjustable perforations) for medium and larger batches

SPEEDYPACKER—system for creating cushions and moulded shapes for larger batches

READY-MADE INSTAPAK MOULDS—TART also supplies its customers with ready-made moulds according to their needs
