PVC/Nitrile Foam

PVC/Nitrile foam is a lightweight, flexible, and closed-cell material with excellent acoustic, thermal, and sealing performance. Ideal for HVAC, insulation, and industrial gasketing applications.

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.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About PVC/Nitrile Foam

Got a question about PVC/Nitrile foam? Explore our FAQs below.

  • Is PVC/Nitrile suitable for HVAC and insulation applications?

    Yes. It is commonly used for thermal insulation, pipe lagging, and vibration damping due to its closed-cell structure.

  • How well does it resist water absorption?

    PVC/Nitrile foam has very low water absorption, making it suitable for moisture-rich environments

  • Can PVC/Nitrile foam be die-cut into custom parts?

    Yes. RGH convert this foam in to many formats and can be supplied adhesive-backed for easy installation.

  • What are the advantages of PVC/Nitrile blended foam?

    This blend offers excellent oil resistance, good aging stability, and enhanced durability compared to pure PVC foam.

  • Can it withstand elevated temperatures?

    It performs well in moderate-to-high temperature ranges, depending on grade. It is widely used in refrigeration and automotive systems.
