Protecting air-conditioning and heating equipment and electronics in vehicles, such as cars, coaches and buses, is a crucial measure to shield equipment from moisture and corrosion and ensure passenger comfort. To achieve this, manufacturers are expected to choose their materials carefully, utilising low-density insulation for efficient thermal management and high-density materials for secure attachment and sealing. Our specialised solutions are built on a unique blend of materials, offering flexibility, durability, and high-performance sound attenuation. Crafted to protect sensitive circuits, such as seals around headlights, taillights, dashboard electronics, EV battery enclosures, and electronic control modules, they effectively dampen vibrations and mitigate unwanted noise from equipment, as well as airborne and structural sources.

For most major car makers, all parts must be made from materials that are on their approved source list. It’s a competitive business and only the best suppliers with a proven track record of quality, new technology, on-time delivery, and service will make the cut. OEMs look to Armacell’s foam products under the ArmaComp^® range, like Monarch or EnsoLite, for use in automotive components such as gaskets for sealing out water, air, dust, or noise. Once a material is included on the approved source list or our fabricator partners have been selected as preferred suppliers, the task is not over. We must continually maintain or improve our specs to stay competitive and meet the high expectations of automakers and their supply chain.
