Which materials are recommended for yellow goods applications?

A range of foam and rubber materials are used within the yellow goods sector, selected according to performance needs such as insulation, vibration reduction or sealing. At AS Rubber & Plastics, we typically supply and convert materials suitable for yellow goods applications, including:

Polyethylene foam – impact resistance, compressibility, and thermal insulation.
Solid rubber – durable gaskets and seals that protect against dust, water, and debris.
Adhesive tapes – for bonding, sealing, and vibration control in machinery assemblies.

Does yellow goods foam act as thermal insulation?

Yes — foams used in yellow goods applications can provide effective thermal insulation. Closed-cell polyethylene foam reduces heat transfer due to the air trapped within its cell structure and its naturally low thermal conductivity.

This helps maintain cabin comfort, limit heat from engines or hot components, and protect electronic or hydraulic parts from extreme temperatures. This leads to longer component life, fewer heat-related issues, and improved operator comfort — achieved with lightweight, easy-to-install materials.

Does yellow goods foam provide vibration and shock absorption?

Yes. Materials such as polyethylene foam and solid rubber are widely used in vibration control and shock absorption for heavy machinery and off-highway equipment. These materials have excellent energy-absorbing properties that reduce the transmission of mechanical forces across machine frames, panels, and support assemblies.

When fitted between moving sections or used under platforms, they help limit wear, reduce operator fatigue, and minimise noise. Selecting the correct material helps maintain performance and durability in tough environments.

Does heavy machinery foam help reduce noise?

Yes — the right materials can help reduce noise in heavy machinery and construction equipment. Polyethylene foam, solid rubber, and adhesive tapes can be used to line panels, engine compartments, or operator cabins to absorb sound and limit vibration-related noise.

When combined with sealing and isolation components, these materials help create a quieter operating environment and improve comfort for operators.
