Heat-Activated Sealants
Sealing Without Compromises
Our range of targeted acoustic solutions encompass various material constructions with one shared purpose: improving acoustic performance for our customers. In order to completely fulfill requirements and needs, our technologies can be adapted to address specific frequencies and sound amplitudes.
Custom-Engineered Solutions
Dry-to-touch sealants can be an efficient and economical alternative to messy pastes and liquids.
Seals cavities to prevent the intrusion of water, air, dust, or fumes.
Can be configured for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) improvement.
Simple integration into existing manufacturing processes and bake cycles.
Well suited for use with complex cavity geometries.
Can be configured for anti-flutter applications.
