What is Vinyl/Nitrile (PVN) Super Soft Foam, Semi-Closed Cell used for?
Fostek’s vinyl/nitrile (PVN) super soft foam, semi-closed cell foams are utilized in many of the same applications as our semi-closed foams. Fostek’s closed cell Vinyl/Nitrile (PVN) foam delivers excellent performance and durability for a variety of applications. Our proprietary “family” of Vinyl/Nitrile (PVN) foam products are used in the automotive industry as well as in appliance, weather stripping, and general industrial uses for a variety of applications and can be either die cut or in custom profile form, often with PSA.- NVH (noise, vibration, & harshness) seals, gaskets, pads, closure strips, pillar stuffers, cushioning in or around windshields, door panels, instrument panels, headliners, etc.
- Acoustic / sound control in or around windshields, door panels, instrument panels, headliners, etc. These may be used alone or in composite to achieve STL (sound transmission loss) targets in a vehicle component “system”…i.e. a door “system” that includes the metal door, the glass, and the inner cabin door trim panel.
- HVAC seals and gaskets providing air and water sealing
- APPLIANCES utilize these foams for the same performance reasons as listed above

Fostek’s continuous roll technology produces Vinyl/Nitrile (PVN) semi-closed cell, super soft foam rolls that range in gauge from 3mm thick to 38+ mm thick. Fostek’s semi-closed cell technology produces a relatively consistent cell structure. Rolls are available in a variety of widths and lengths. The most common widths are a roll of a minimum width of 54 inches and a roll with a minimum width of 27 inches. Black is the most common color, however, we also produce Vinyl/Nitrile (PVN) foam in a natural color. Other colors may be available based on minimum volume requirements. Depending on certain parameters our semi-closed cell foams are available with skin-two-sides, skin-one-side, and no skin. The most common packaging for these products to adequately protect them during shipping and handling is to place them in boxes on skids.For more information on Fostek’s Vinyl/Nitrile super soft foam, semi-closed cell, please contact our sales office at 574-284-1000 or click here to contact us to receive a prompt reply.
