Less noise and vibration with foam

 

 
Innovative foams not only damp noise and vibration they also filter particles and act as heat shields, cushions, and seals. Foam is versatile. Through innovative manufacturing and fabrication techniques, foam can take on a variety of properties. Foam can be water resistant, absorbent, porous, and flame retardant either through formulation or by cutting, laminating, impregnating, felting, and thermoforming. Foam consists of individual cells or pores which have been completely polymerized and solidified to form a skeletal structure. Varying foam-cell structure alters physical properties to meet specific
