Acoustic Foam Washers
Acoustic Foam Washers
Advanced Seals & Gaskets, as leading washer manufacturers, produce thousands daily, including Class O acoustic foam. This material is multifunctional, filtering, cushioning, absorbing sound, vibrations, and being flame retardant, making it versatile for various applications.
Our specialized presses enable us to create washers in various sizes and quantities, with plain or self-adhesive finishes. We can provide them as loose cut parts or kiss cut on sheets/rolls for efficient end-user applications. In-house manufacturing ensures high standards and short lead times.
Class O acoustic foam washers find use in industries demanding flame retardant materials with sound/vibration absorption and thermal insulation properties. These industries include construction, marine, and automotive sectors, highlighting their broad applicability.
What is acoustic foam?
Class O acoustic foam is just one of ASG's many Polyurethane foam options, featuring open-cell, lightweight properties, making it ideal for sound control, noise reduction, vibration attenuation, and thermal insulation.
Rather than eliminating sound entirely, this acoustic foam effectively reduces unwanted noise and echo by attenuating sound waves and lowering their amplitude. The captured sound energy dissipates as heat.
Notably, Class O acoustic foam is flame retardant, meeting UL-94 V-0 and BS476 part 6 & 7 standards. It is non-toxic, HCF & CFC Free, and resistant to fungal growth. This dust-free material finds applications in marine, construction, automotive, heating & ventilation, and manufacturing industries.
Its soft, pliable nature allows for easy cutting and manipulation, making it adaptable to complex shapes and positions, ensuring effortless application.

Washers
Washers serve various functions, from filling gaps to acting as dust seals, cushions, or spacers. We craft them from an extensive range of materials like EPDM, neoprene, silicone, solid rubbers, sponge, plastics, polyethylene, PVC, Polyester, cork, textiles, and more.
Utilizing specialized machinery including presses and kiss cut machines, we ensure precision in manufacturing. Additionally, our lamination service expands options for thicker washers with self-adhesive or foil faces, catering to diverse needs.
Why use Acoustic foam washers?
Class O acoustic foam washers find extensive applications in various industries, including engineering, construction, automotive, and HVAC. These washers primarily serve to reduce noise, echo, and vibrations, while also offering high-performance fire protection and thermal insulation.
Many customers utilize acoustic foam washers for padding and cushioning purposes. They aid in noise reduction from moving parts, absorbing sounds, cushioning, and reducing rattling and vibrations. Notably, Class O acoustic foam doesn't shred, migrate, or generate dust under high-pressure airflow, making it a favored choice for air conditioning, filtration, and ventilation systems.
The durability of acoustic foam simplifies cutting and shaping, allowing for easy integration into generators, extraction fans, home appliances, and various other applications. Its versatile nature makes it a valuable asset across different industries.
The Advantages of using acoustic foam washers
The advantages of using acoustic foam washers are numerous. They offer excellent flammability standards, noise dampening, and thermal insulation properties, making them ideal for the building and construction industry.
Additionally, they are non-toxic, non-dusting materials that don't support fungal growth, making them suitable for ductwork/ventilation applications. Their flexibility allows for easy application on curved or misshapen surfaces, such as around pipes or inside machinery and vehicles.
Class O acoustic foam aids the automotive and construction industries in adhering to noise pollution and flame retardant regulations. It remains dust-free and doesn't tear or migrate when exposed to high-pressure airflow, making it a popular choice for air conditioning, filtration, and ventilation systems.
