Air Seal, also acoustic barrier - Foams used as air seals should have a significant amount of closed cells so that air cannot penetrate nor flow through the material. The more closed cells in the material, the less compression of the foam that will be required in the application thereby allowing for use of a thinner part hence lower part cost. We recommend Lok Cel or Hydrolok, both of which contain 80 to 90% closed cells demonstrated by the materials slow recovery when compressed and the air flow test results in the specification data.
When used as an acoustic material they combine barrier and absorption characteristics which afford an unusually effective combination against objectionable noise.

Water Seal, also acoustic absorption - We offer a variety of foams for sealing against water. They differ by how much water they will resist, from one inch to over three inches, based on at least 50% compression in the application. These foams are costed from lowest to highest as Hydrofoam, Ultra Hydrofoam, Hydrolok and Super Seal. Hydrolok affords the best combination of water and air sealability, while Super Seal affords the greatest resistance to water.
They all have the capability to absorb high frequency noise and all can function as “Quiet” gaskets pending the particulars of the application.
