High Impact Plastics

We use a variety of plastics for fenders and debris shields. Our materials can achieve weight reduction and our fabrication methods achieve cost reductions by eliminating expensive tooling charges. The variety of plastics we work with can also be used in several different applications in place of heavier metal options. Some current applications and possible applications are: Access panels, vehicle headliner (combined with acoustical and thermal insulation), fenders, debris shields, cab dash boards, door panels with insulation etc.

Versatile Rubber Products

In addition to molded rubber floor mats, we provide debris shields and other products made from a variety of rubber materials.  A few are masticated rubber, cloth inserted rubber and TPE rubber.

– Design Engineer – Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

“Noise is important to brand image. It is one of the top factors along with driveability and reliability. Acoustics – it’s a 4 out of 5, it might even be a 5 in importance projecting the image, the brand, and the quality that we want projected to the market.”

– Design Engineer – Truck Manufacturer

“Our ten-fold growth prior to our acquisition was expedited by our working relationship with Blachford.”

– Global Procurement Manager – Construction Equipment Manufacturer

“When a company does a spec, boundary conditions like humidity that day, temperature, that all matters. ASPM national or international spec. We try to verify where we can, but we don’t even have the equipment they have. We trust their specifications. Blachford brings innovative ideas, processes, materials, and offerings we value.”

– Design Engineer – Truck Manufacturer

“Then, bringing them in at the beginning with our new product design, it probably saved 6-12 months of development. We didn’t just wa nt the spec sheet value. We wanted customers to get in the machine and experience the difference.”

– Design Engineer – Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

“If we have an acoustics issue, we will reach out to Blachford since they are the experts. It saves us money because we do not have to keep an acoustic expert on site with an annual salary, with benefits, of $125K.”
