Steierplast | Sealing, Damping, and Soft Mounting

Single-Sided Adhesive Foams are particularly suitable for sealing, damping, or soft-mounting applications due to their special properties.

They are predominantly used in industrial applications, in the electronics sector, and in consumer products and devices, demonstrating long-term functional reliability over the desired service life.

In addition, single-sided adhesive foams are considered lightweight relative to their volume, providing excellent potential for weight savings. Various thicknesses and densities with different compression hardnesses or recovery forces are available.

Sealing

Foams are excellently suited for sealing against dirt particles and moisture. Their high adaptability with long-lasting recovery force (compression set) to material- and shape-specific surface features enables use in both mobile and stationary devices. Additionally, they can help reduce or prevent lubricant leaks from encapsulated systems or housings.
Partially adhesive die-cut parts made from open-cell foams allow air circulation and thus provide a filtering function.

Damping

Single-sided self-adhesive foams are widely used for sound insulation. Their special acoustically absorbent material structure makes them highly effective in noise reduction.
They reduce construction-related noise, particularly in moving metallic components.
Noise generated by vibrations, including varying amplitudes, rattling, or knocking sounds, can be damped or completely suppressed.

Soft Mounting

Vibrations and noise usually occur around moving components, e.g., in aerospace, automotive, and electronics applications.
Reducing vibrations or friction in assemblies leads to fewer failures.
Soft-mounted components minimize the risk of parts loosening, shifting, or being damaged.
Soft mounting also serves as anti-squeak and rattle protection, preventing disturbing noises from moving parts.
Foams act as spacers, allowing ventilation and heat dissipation.

Antistatic, conductive, high-temperature-resistant, self-extinguishing, hydrophobic, hydrolysis-resistant, and low-emission material grades are also available. Adapted to high requirements, open- or closed-cell foam versions are used, each featuring a single-sided, high-performance adhesive system. This ensures that the desired installation at the point of use is achieved with outstanding material properties and an efficient delivery format.
