Elastomers made from natural rubber are part of many of our NVH solutions. Because they can undergo significant deformations under load and still return to their original shape after being released, elastomers are essential for solving NVH challenges. We use them in products such as motor and chassis mounts, air springs, absorbers, isolators and dampers.

More temperature-resistant synthetic rubbers like Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) are key for some NVH solutions. Due to its temperature stability, damping qualities and durability, EPDM is used in decoupled pulleys, exhaust hangers, dampers and center bearing supports for light vehicles as well as motor mounts for commercial vehicles. While some heat-resistant materials have lower dynamic strength than natural rubber, Vibracoustic has developed a new generation of high-strength EPDM using nanotechnology to combine dynamic strength and higher temperature-resistance.
Our experts can replace natural rubber with silicone for motor mounts exposed to particularly high temperatures. We have overcome silicone’s relatively poor ability to bond with metal parts by employing specific pretreatment techniques and the latest bonding systems. This enables us to use silicone rubbers for NVH solutions for motor mount and drive train applications close to a combustion engine where temperatures over 100° C occur.
Polyurethane foams like Micro Cellular Urethane (MCU) have high tensile strength and compressibility, making it effective especially in very small installation spaces. It is not sensitive to fuels, oils, alcohols or ozone gas and can be configured to various degrees of rigidity and density. This makes MCU ideal for producing jounce bumpers, body mounts, spring seat isolators and top mounts.
Air springs are special in terms of material science. The spring motion is produced by the unrolling of a bellow attached to a metal piston. The bellows must unroll softly, but changes in air pressure must not influence the dimensions of the bellows. We achieve dimensional stability with long textile fibers or fabrics reinforcing the bellow. For the reliable functioning of an air spring in the long-term, good adhesion between the fibers and the elastomeric compound is crucial. Other key requirements are high bending fatigue resistance due to the repeated unrolling and rolling of the bellows, abrasion resistance, gas-tightness, heat and ozone resistance. Air springs are subject to environmental conditions and Chloroprene Rubber is the solution.

We use global and cost-efficient development tools like anisotropic simulation to standardize the design and validation of rigid thermoplastics. This way we develop innovative lightweight NVH solutions and bring them to serial production. Our thermoplastic motor mounts, for example, are extremely light and durable, having half the weight of a rubber-to-metal-bonded motor mount.
Ordered a new manual water trap that works great! Small delay with shipping after it left their facility. They were quick to respond and help get it back on track!
Absolutely incredible service and extremely efficient times with shipping.
The team at on air took care of me in an urgent situation and got my car up and running asap!
Thank you again guys
