Flexible elastomeric foams are foams made from rubber which can be either natural or synthetic. These are used for thermal and acoustic insulation for various applications in the HVAC, automotive & transportation, and other industries. They are moisture-resistant and help in dampening the vibrations. Resistance to wear & tear, chemicals, high voltage, and performance in extreme conditions such as vibration, high humidity, high temperatures, and abrasion are some of its other advantages.
