Automotive Foam.

Common foams include polyurethane for seats, polyethylene for insulation and vibration control, and PVC foam for seals and trim. These materials are selected for their durability, flexibility, and ability to handle the conditions of vehicle use, such as temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and exposure to moisture and chemicals. Solid rubber and cellular sponge are also widely used in seals, interior panels, and acoustic applications to improve comfort and reduce vibration.

Polyurethane is commonly used in car seats. It's favoured for its comfort, durability, and ability to retain shape. It can be produced in various densities and firmness levels, making it suitable for everything from economy vehicles to high-end models.

At AS Rubber, we manufacture, convert, and distribute various foam types and densities, offering precision cutting for accurate sizing and dedicated conversion services to match your design needs. Whether you're working with a specific material or need a customised end product, we're here to help.

Foam materials are used throughout a vehicle to support comfort, protection, and performance. Foam plays an important role in both comfort and function across a vehicle:

• Seats and headrests – for support and pressure relief
• Dashboards and door panels – for surface padding and protection
• Under carpets and inside panels – to help absorb noise and vibration
• Seals and gaskets – to prevent dust, water, and air leaks
• Thermal insulation – around engines and HVAC systems

Yes. Many foams, especially polyurethane, are designed to absorb and dampen sound, which helps reduce distractions and fatigue for both drivers and passengers. They are used in door cavities, headliners, floors, and engine bays to reduce noise from the road, wind, and drivetrain. This enhances comfort and improves the overall vehicle interior.
