Filtration, Sealing, Damping, and Protection

Beyond Foam

Higher Performance – refined foams through activated carbon and silicone impregnation as well as thermal densification

Foam is a material with potential – but only the right refinement turns it into a functional medium. We complement flexible PU foams with targeted process steps, elevating them to a new performance level: as a filter medium that separates gases and particles simultaneously; as a seal that maintains its shape despite heat and moisture; as a damping element that compensates for tolerances and durably absorbs vibrations.

Refinement Steps

Three refinements that turn foam into a functional medium.

Activated Carbon Impregnation

What we do
PU foams are loaded with powder or granular activated carbon.

What you gain
Particle and gas filtration in one medium, low pressure loss.

Silicone Impregnation

What we do
Open-cell PU foams are permeated with silicone and cured.

What you gain
Permanently elastic under heat, steam, and cyclic loading.

Thermal Densification

What we do
Defined pressure and temperature control specifically densifies the foam.

What you gain
Adjusted hardness, damping, and pore structure for precise assemblies.

Activated Carbon Impregnation

Particle and gas filtration in one medium, low pressure loss.

Impregnation with acrylate activated carbon

Open-cell PU foams are impregnated with technical activated carbon, turning them into compact filter media that separate particles while simultaneously binding gases, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Mechanical depth filtration and gas adsorption work within the same material – without a second filter stage, without additional installation height.

The result is space-saving, energy-efficient filter concepts with low pressure loss – ideal for industrial exhaust air, HVAC systems, automotive interiors, and devices with odor control. Powder (CellPAC) or granular activated carbon (CellGAC) are used specifically depending on installation height, service life, and pollutant load.

  • Typical: industrial exhaust air, HVAC, kitchen and gastronomy technology
  • Automotive interior air and cabin filters
  • Devices with sensory odor and VOC control

Silicone Impregnation

Permanently elastic under heat, steam, and cyclic loading.

In silicone impregnation, the PU foam serves as an elastic, open-pored carrier structure. The penetrating silicone cross-links within the cell structure and raises the temperature, moisture, and aging resistance of the material to a significantly higher level – without losing flexibility.

The result is durable, dimensionally stable cushioning, sealing, and insulation solutions that remain elastic even under heat, steam, and cyclic pressure loading. Typical fields of application range from ironing board and household appliance padding to mechanical engineering and thermally stressed components in the automotive sector.

  • High-temperature cushioning (ironing technology, superheated steam)
  • Elastic seals in household appliances and mechanical engineering
  • Temperature-stressed assemblies in automotive and commercial vehicles

Thermal Densification

Adjusted hardness, damping, and pore structure for precise assemblies.

Thermal Densification

Through controlled pressure and temperature treatment, PU foams are specifically densified and their mechanical and physical properties are adjusted. Density, hardness, recovery behavior, and pore structure do not follow the raw material but rather the requirement profile of your component.

This creates foams with precisely defined elasticity and damping: they compensate for constructive tolerances, dampen vibrations, seal reliably, or store media such as liquids and gases. Application examples include battery pads, sealing and spacer elements, acoustic decoupling, and technical assemblies in industry and mobility.

  • Battery pads and compensation layers for e-mobility
  • Sealing and spacer elements in housings and assemblies
  • Acoustic decoupling in vehicle and mechanical engineering
