ISO 3386-2 is the test method for the compression stress-strain characteristics of high-density flexible cellular polymeric materials. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 3386-2 Covers
It characterizes how higher-density flexible foams respond under compression, giving the stress at defined strains for cushioning and sealing applications.
How the Test Is Run
A foam specimen is compressed at a controlled rate through defined strain levels, and the corresponding stresses are recorded to describe the material response.
Why It Matters
Compression stress-strain defines the firmness of high-density flexible foams; a sensitive force frame and accurate strain measurement are needed.
