Heavy plastic foil – Effective sound insulation for machines, vehicles and buses
Heavy plastic foil is a high-performance material for sound insulation and structure-borne noise reduction. Its high density and flexibility make it ideal for reducing airborne and structure-borne noise in machines, vehicles, buses and industrial plants.
With its EVA 3-01 and EVA 6-01 heavy plastic foils, Cellofoam offers tailor-made solutions for technical sound insulation. These special foils significantly reduce noise by absorbing sound energy and dampening vibrations.
In contrast to bitumen heavy film, plastic heavy films have a higher temperature resistance. Cello® EVA plastic heavy film has a temperature resistance of up to 100°C (briefly up to 120°C). In addition, plastic heavy films are soft and elastic, not pressure-sensitive and non-smearing.
How does heavy plastic foil work?
The high mass of the heavy foil ensures that sound waves are not transmitted but dampened. This results in:
✔ Minimised airborne sound transmission – reduction of driving, engine and machine noise
✔ Dampened structure-borne sound and vibrations – less resonance in metal housings and vehicle bodies
✔ Sound reflections reduced – effective sound insulation for technical equipment and passenger areas
The heavy plastic foil can be processed flexibly and applied to various substrates – as surface lamination, in sandwich constructions or as a supplement to acoustic foams.
Soundproofing solutions from Cellofoam with heavy plastic foils
Cellofoam offers heavy plastic foils for a variety of requirements:
✔ EVA 3-01 – Lightweight heavy plastic foil with a weight of 3 kg/m²,
ideal for vehicles, buses and machinery
✔ EVA 6-01 – High-density heavy film with a weight of 6 kg/m²,
perfect for industrial sound insulation and heavy machinery
Thanks to their high flexibility, the heavy plastic films can be used without any problems in vehicles, buses, machine cladding and technical equipment.
Areas of application for heavy-duty plastic foil
