Abstract:
A bushing for a foam mix-head includes an injection port wall surrounding a vestigial area for foam accumulation, a substrate opening transition segment configured to be situated with an opening of a substrate, a seal housing, and a seal seated in a seal seat of the seal housing. The seal helps prevent leakage during a foaming operation, such as when manufacturing a vehicle interior panel having a foam layer between a skin layer and a substrate.
