Padding materials for handling horticultural products - development of an evaluation procedure.

 

A simple 4-test procedure to assess the cushioning properties of 8 padding materials is presented, using an Instrumented Sphere (IS), energy absorption (described by the recovery ratio calculated from the IS rebound), and durability assessed in terms of both the reduction in material thickness and fatigue of the internal structure. Results show that closed cell PVC foam is the best padding material, with polyethylene foam and neoprene rubber samples exhibiting adequate characteristics over the energy range of the tests.
