Feasibility study for in-house manufacturing of baby seats using safer and more environmentally friendly processes.
FY 2021-22 · 2021-06-01
Summary
We currently outsource the manufacturing of our baby seats to a contract manufacturer that uses hydrocarbon-based blowing agents. The safe handling of these agents requires explosion-proof enclosures, and the implementation of new facilities that can handle hydrocarbons requires considerable capital outlay. As a first step towards building a more automated (higher-yielding), safer and more environmentally-friendly, in-house manufacturing facility here in Canada, we intend to explore the use of processes that require alternative (non-flammable) blowing agents to manufacture our integral skin polyurethane baby seats.

Description

Description (French)
Nous sous-traitons actuellement la fabrication de nos sièges pour bébé à un fabricant sous contrat qui utilise des agents gonflants à base d'hydrocarbures. La manipulation en toute sécurité de ces agents nécessite des enceintes antidéflagrantes, et la mise en place de nouvelles installations pouvant gérer les hydrocarbures exige des dépenses d'investissement considérables. Comme première étape vers la construction d'une usine de fabrication interne plus automatisée (rendement plus élevé), plus sûre et plus respectueuse de l'environnement, ici au Canada, nous avons l'intention d'explorer l'utilisation de procédés qui nécessitent des agents gonflants alternatifs (ininflammables) pour fabriquer nos sièges pour bébé en polyuréthane à revêtement intégral.
