Consumer Overview

OVERVIEW

A large automotive OEM that is listed as a Fortune 500 company approached TMP Technologies with a need for an applicator that was part of a car repair kit. The applicator needed to evenly disperse a compound that fixed scratches, dents and chips in a car’s paint. There were two major factors that TMP successfully satisfied: 1.) The platform for the applicator needed to be sturdy and reusable. 2.) The material used to evenly spread the compound needed to be durable yet disposable.

With so many years of experience handling, testing and fabricating foam, TMP Technologies is able to quickly identify the right kind of material for a custom foam applicator or dauber. For Court Grip™, TMP was faced with the difficult task of finding the right foam that would stand up to the caustic liquid that degrades standard shoe polish applicator foams. The design and engineering team were able to create a custom solution combining a foam pad with a microfiber covering that evenly dispersed the exact amount of liquid without deteriorating.
