Lamination
AGORA works extensively with polyurethane foams to deliver protection, comfort, and structure across a wide range of soft goods applications. Both ether-based and ester-based polyurethane foams are selected based on performance requirements, environmental exposure, and end use conditions.
These materials are commonly used in protective cases, wearable equipment, medical supports, and equipment carriers where cushioning, durability, and performance consistency are critical.
Polyurethane foams offer a versatile balance of protection, breathability, and durability. These materials are widely used in soft goods assemblies that require cushioning, structural support, and shock absorption.
- Available in a wide range of densities
- Breathable structures that support comfort and moisture management
- Energy absorption for impact protection
- Compatibility with cutting, forming, and lamination processes
We design and manufacture custom foam inserts and assemblies for tool cases, sales and display cases, backpacks, instrument cases, and protective carriers. Foam inserts are precision cut and shaped to securely hold products, enhance presentation, and protect against shock and vibration. Both foam components and outer cases can be custom fit to application requirements.
In applications where a single foam type cannot meet all performance requirements, multiple foam layers can be laminated together to create a purpose built composite structure. Each foam layer performs a specific role within the assembly.
- A higher density foam for structure, impact absorption, or load distribution
- A lower density or open cell foam for comfort, breathability, or surface conformity
By laminating these layers together, the final assembly balances protection, comfort, and durability while maintaining consistent thickness and repeatable manufacturability.
Layered foam constructions allow engineers to tune performance based on the specific application.
- Improved energy absorption without excessive bulk
- Enhanced comfort and reduced pressure points
- Better moisture management at the skin interface
- Performance tuned for load, movement, or environmental exposure
Foam chemistry, density, thickness, and bonding methods are evaluated early in development to ensure laminated assemblies perform reliably from prototype through production.
- Protective cases with rigid outer support and cushioned interiors
- Medical supports requiring both pressure distribution and skin comfort
- Wearable equipment that must absorb impact while remaining breathable
- Instrument and equipment cases that require vibration damping and stability
CoolLAM™ is a breathable, multi-layer performance composite engineered for extended-wear medical and wearable device applications.
Its open-cell construction promotes active moisture transport, supporting skin integrity in prolonged-use scenarios. The 4-way stretch architecture delivers controlled elasticity with high recovery rates, maintaining dimensional stability under cyclic loading and repeated stress.
- Latex-free
- Manufactured without skin-contact adhesives
- Orthopedic braces and supports
- Remote patient monitoring wearables
- Wearable therapeutic devices
- Ergonomic and rehabilitation products
- Sensor-integrated textile assemblies
AGORA designs and manufactures custom foam inserts using a range of materials selected for protection, durability, and presentation. In addition to polyurethane foams, we work with polyester foams and polyethylene foams such as EVA and Ethafoam®, depending on the application’s shock, abrasion, and environmental requirements.
These inserts are precision cut and shaped to securely hold products, enhance presentation in sales and display cases, and protect against shock and vibration during transport and daily use.
Foam inserts and outer carry cases can be custom fit to your product geometry, handling requirements, and production volume.
