Acoustic Foam Washers
Class O Acoustic Foam Washers – Noise, Vibration, and Thermal Management Solutions
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we specialise in the production of acoustic foam washers, crafted from Class O acoustic foam for a wide range of industrial, automotive, marine, and construction applications. Designed to combine sound absorption, vibration reduction, and flame retardancy, these washers provide versatile and reliable solutions for engineers, manufacturers, and facility managers.
Our in-house manufacturing capabilities, including specialised presses, kiss-cut machines, and CNC equipment, enable the production of washers in any size, thickness, and quantity, with options for plain, self-adhesive, or laminated finishes. This ensures precision, quality, and minimal lead times for our clients.
What Are Acoustic Foam Washers?
Acoustic foam washers are precision components manufactured from Class O polyurethane foam, an open-cell, lightweight material known for its exceptional sound control, vibration damping, and thermal insulation properties. Unlike traditional foam, Class O acoustic foam does not eliminate sound entirely but reduces noise and echo by attenuating sound waves, dissipating energy as heat.
These washers serve multiple purposes, including:
- Cushioning and padding moving parts
- Reducing vibration and mechanical rattling
- Providing gap filling and sealing between uneven surfaces
- Offering flame retardant and thermal insulation properties
Class O acoustic foam is non-toxic, dust-free, HCF & CFC free, and resistant to fungal growth, making it suitable for demanding environments in marine, construction, automotive, HVAC, and manufacturing sectors. Its soft and pliable nature allows easy cutting and shaping for complex surfaces, ensuring efficient installation and long-lasting performance.

Why Use Acoustic Foam Washers?
Class O acoustic foam washers are widely used in industries that require noise reduction, vibration control, thermal insulation, and flame retardancy. Common applications include:
- Construction & HVAC: Insulating ductwork, ventilation systems, and building services
- Automotive & Marine: Engine rooms, pipework, and machinery requiring soundproofing and vibration control
- Manufacturing & Machinery: Cushioning equipment, reducing mechanical noise, and protecting components
- Recording Studios & Engine Rooms: Absorbing vibrations and controlling acoustic performance
Their durability allows them to withstand high-pressure airflow and repeated mechanical stress without tearing, shedding, or migrating, ensuring long-term performance in ventilation systems, filtration units, and machinery housings.
