TUFCOTE® H-SM foams
E-A-R ACOUSTICAL FOAMS MEETS UL SMOKE AND FLAME STANDARD

TUFCOTE® H-Series SM acoustical foam, from E-A-R Specialty Composites, has been engineered for use in noise control applications that may include exposure to high levels of radiant heat. It meets the UL 94 HF-1 flammability standard. The sound-absorption product is faced with an aluminized polyester film that reflects radiant heat. The facing also protects the foam from soil and fluids. TUFCOTE H-SM foam is ideal for sound absorption in enclosed equipment, such as motors, generators, compressors and pumps.

To manufacture TUFCOTE H-SM foam, E-A-R applies the polyester facing during a proprietary thin sheet casting process, which casts the foam to thickness in continuous sheets. The facing and foam fuse during processing, creating a bond that resists delamination, even at elevated temperatures. The highly cost-effective process also permits in-process bonding of pressure-sensitive adhesives and other backings.

TUFCOTE H-SM foam is available in rolls, sheets or as custom die-cut parts, with or without peel-and-stick adhesives, and in thicknesses ranging from 1/2-inch to 2-inches.
