S&A Industries offers a number of high-quality high performance expandable damping material options that are used for vehicle welded body damping and insulating. Common applications include floor panel silencers, tunnel, dash panel and wheel house damping. All products are custom designed and manufactured to meet our customers' specific performance requirements. Our expandable sheeting is adhered and expanded between body panels. When the body-in- white is processed through the E-Coat system the sheeting expands to provide superior sound damping and structural integrity. S&A Industries possesses the latest sheeting technology at our new Mississippi facility. We can custom blend, die cut and assemble our damping sheets to various structural vehicle body panels. We construct expandable damping sheet from asphalt based compounds. Contact S&A Industries today to learn more about our premium insulation sheeting products.

Thermo-Compression Molding of a Non-Woven Polyester Acoustic Duct for the Automotive Industry At S&A Industries, we're a leader in custom thermo-compression molding services. We were recently contracted by a customer in the automotive industry to fabricate a porous noise reduction duct. This duct was to be used in air induction systems on the dirty air side. This product featured an embedded hydrophobic resin, which prevents water intrusion with no negative impact to NVH. To create this custom duct, we used a non-woven material, our thermo- compression expertise, and our superior assembly services. Hydrophobic, temperature resistant polyester was used for its lighter weight than a molded plastic counterpart. The complex assembly of the duct with plastic components assembled to the air filter box interface exhibited to our customer that our experience and knowledge extends beyond thermo-compression molding and allows us to work on projects from inception to completion.
