Laguna Niguel, CA – August, 20, 2013 – Each blog post will include content on key balloon development and manufacturing insights, analysis and white papers from technical experts on design, manufacturing, quality and balloon forming equipment. Balloon design and manufacturing is a complex science that requires a mastery of material behavior, balloon forming technology, and quality control. Both extrusion and balloon forming are highly complex processes that involve a multitude of interacting parameters.
Some of these factors include material chemistry, material preparation, applied force, speed of stretch and forced stretch, rate of inflation, explosive expansion, exponential pressure decay, mold venting, heat flow, chamber pressure, and rate of cooling. Every step in the process must be completed with care and vigilance to produce high-performance balloons. Engineers with in-depth and hands-on expertise and knowledge will provide insightful technical content.
The first post Ten Things to Look for in a Balloon Manufacturer is now available for viewing at www.medicalballoonexperts.com
The educational site www.medicalballoonexperts.com will also have an Ask an Engineer section where questions can be responded to anonymously. Questions and responses will be posted on the blog site without the contact information to keep anonymity. Appropriate engineering and qualified staff will respond to the questions.
