A Five-Step Batch-Switch Checklist
- Define finished-foam properties, test methods and acceptance limits before testing.
- Confirm lot identity, VA content, MFR condition and COA before the material enters the trial.
- Run a controlled trial with the existing formulation and settings.
- Measure density, hardness, recovery, tensile performance and visual consistency as relevant to the product.
- Move to limited production only after procurement, quality and process owners agree that the evidence is sufficient.
