Thermal, Acoustical, Electrical Management Materials

A variety of materials—from foams to woven fabrics and nonwoven papers and mats—provide thermal insulation solutions for many products. Foam rubbers are often used for insulation applications below 225°F, while silicone foams may be leveraged for temperatures up to 400° F. The most demanding applications require high temperature resistant insulation, which can withstand some of the most extreme heat environments. These products can also be combined with thin aluminum foil to provide an even more effective heat shield, with a pressure sensitive tape for use as a third hand in assembly. Materials can be die cut to the requirements of each part.

Sound deadening materials are leveraged to absorb sound or reduce it at its source, and the material options are diverse. Open cell foams and closed cell foams are commonly used to absorb and dampen sound. Nonwoven acoustical insulation materials can create a sound absorption barrier that dramatically reduces high frequency noise. For applications with temperature requirements, a variety of thermal insulation is used as an acoustical barrier. Sound damping pads and films can control resonant vibration, thereby reducing structure-borne noise in metal and composite panels and supporting structures. All sound deadening materials can be provided in slit rolls or die-cut parts based on your specific needs.
