Lightweight and safe: sealing solutions made from lightweight foam
For your applications made from foam that are “dense in function” and “light in assembly,” FoamPartner develops and produces fine-pored, reliable and low-emission materials that improve safety. Their most important features:

  • Compressible and easily workable
  • Low density
  • Low-emission and with minimal odor

E-Mobility: into the future with electric power
Whether it is for meeting climate goals or consumer wishes, e-mobility will be playing an increasingly important role in the next few years. The increased networking of electric means of transport will also present you with countless new prospects, opportunities and questions.

As a specialist in acoustic and thermal solutions and a system supplier, we work with you to face the challenges of electromobility. We are your partner and expert point of contact, and we are already working to find the best solution for your future requirements.

Lightweight and sturdy: headliners
The semi-rigid foams used in vehicle interiors are low-emission and lightweight. They are excellent for processing, which allows them to be used easily for developing customer-specific solutions that are especially tailored to your needs. A few other impressive properties of these foam products:

  • High inherent stability – keeps its shape
  • Optimal acoustic absorption behavior
  • Thermoformable
