Reflective Marker

Elastomer Technologies finds strategic solutions that are very effective for parts with low volume requirements. When a client in the film industry approached us to produce a small quantity of the reflective marker shown here, we combined several different complex processes in order to produce them quickly and affordably.This reflective marker integrates a compression molded rubber part with a die cut adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener and die cut, adhesive-backed reflective film. Production involved sourcing a custom compounded rubber and a specialty reflective material with explicit adhesive properties. To cost-effectively manage the project, our process methodology combined contemporary compression molding, die cutting, and laminating technologies with traditional manual assembly. By integrating inspection functions into every step of the process, only parts that were 100% dimensionally accurate flowed into the assembly area.
