Elastoforming

The elastoforming or Guerin or Maform process is a stamping technique, in which we use a fixed punch on which a sheet is placed.

Opposite this fixed assembly, we have a mobile container where one or more polyurethane cushions are placed.

By exerting a more or less important pressure on the container, we obtain a deformation of the cushions which come to "marry" the punch and thus give to the sheet the shape of this one.

This process makes it possible to have relatively deep tips, or even to make cutting, if the edges of the punches are sharp.

With more than 30 years of experience in the aeronautics sector, and more specifically in the elastoforming sector, EXSTO has been working for several years to offer a range of UREFLEX® polyurethane that is extremely resistant to tearing, to elongation at break and to compression set.

Our technical teams, specifically dedicated to this application sector, can come to your site for a diagnosis and make recommendations to improve the life of your cushions.

Our production capacities are among the most efficient in the world, allowing us to produce cushions in the largest possible dimensions.
