What is PVC/Nitrile Foam?

PVC/Nitrile foam is a soft, closed-cell elastomeric material designed for reliable acoustic, thermal, and sealing performance.

Its skinned surface enhances resistance to water, dust, and air penetration, making it highly effective in sealing applications.

Lightweight yet durable, PVC/Nitrile delivers excellent vibration damping and sound absorption while coping well in both hot and cold environments. With inherent flame-retardant properties and Class O rating, it is a safe and versatile choice for a wide range of insulation and gasketing uses.
