Carpenter offers foams that fulfill many essential functions in engine compartments, from air and water sealing and sound isolation to acoustic absorption within the engine. Lightweight yet durable, our foams help improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions all while improving passenger comfort.

Our foams provide dust, air and liquid sealing around doors, between the engine and cockpit and throughout the HVAC system. They absorb and isolate noise and vibration, and protect vital cables and wiring. Using various technologies, we can customize foams to provide specific aesthetic qualities that enhance the driving and ownership experience.

Good weatherability and very low water permeability make our foams effective in protecting the components fitted to your car’s exterior. Our flexible foams are used in gaskets that isolate and absorb airborne noise, and seal lighting systems and roof bars and spoilers. We also provide silencing solutions for wheel arches and side fenders.

Our foam products meet the specific requirements for reinforcement and acoustic absorption of vehicle trunks.

Our acoustic and thermal solutions for e-mobility help you meet climate goals and consumer demands. Our foams insulate and protect battery pads in electric vehicles to promote longer driving range and increase the lifetime of the battery. Our PU acoustic performance pads with fine-tuned air permeability and cell structure are used in silent tires to reduce tire cavity noise that leaks into the vehicle cabin.
