PVC Foam

Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Foam
Description: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Foam is a closed cell foam ideal for use in applications requiring positive seals on irregular surfaces or when flex and conformability to seal tight radius curves are critical considerations.
PVC foam completely seals out air, moisture, dust and light when compressed 30% or more and absorbs shock, sound and vibration. This is a self extinguishing formulation.

Formulated to meet automotive industry specifications: General Motors 6086M-1A, Ford ESB M3G 102-A, and Chrysler MSAY 511-A, B, and C.
