We supply precision-converted sponge, sponge rubber and foam components for use across the automotive industry. Our materials are used in applications where sealing, cushioning, insulation and vibration control are critical to performance and longevity.
Working with automotive manufacturers, Tier suppliers and specialist component producers, we support both prototype development and ongoing production, supplying parts that meet demanding environmental, mechanical and dimensional requirements.
Our focus is on delivering consistent, fit-for-purpose components, supported by material knowledge and conversion expertise rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
Materials We Supply
We work with a wide range of sponge rubber and foam materials commonly specified for automotive applications, selecting materials based on performance requirements, environment and service life.
Sponge Rubber Materials
Our sponge rubber range includes materials suited to sealing, damping and protection, such as:
These materials are typically chosen for their compression recovery, weather resistance, chemical compatibility and durability in automotive environments.
Foam Materials
We also supply and convert a variety of technical foam materials, including:
Foam materials are commonly specified where lightweight cushioning, insulation or vibration reduction is required, with properties tailored to temperature, density and mechanical performance.
Material selection is guided by the application, operating conditions and manufacturing requirements.
Typical Applications
Sealing and gasketing for enclosures, housings and assemblies
NVH control (noise, vibration and harshness reduction)
Thermal and acoustic insulation
Cushioning and impact protection
Dust, moisture and environmental protection
Electrical and electronic assemblies, including EV-related applications
