Appliances

Our products are used in virtually every appliance for residential or commercial settings. Our appliance insulation is used to prevent excessive noise and heat buildup and is essential for creating comfortable and safe environments. Everything from microwaves to fridges, ranges, and dishwashers require thermal or acoustic insulation. Our acoustic insulation products can be built into the appliance itself, or installed around or behind an appliance to provide significant sound reduction.

Our die cutting capabilities are also extensive, our specialties being gaskets and seals. These die cut products are used in anything from clothes dryers to water circulation pumps and air chillers. We also create composites of different materials utilizing our laminating processes.

HVAC

Our non-metallic components are used in various HVAC-related applications. Die cut seals and gaskets are used in component-to-component seals, air conditioning, heaters/heating units, and air handlers. We also fabricate non-fiberglass acoustic insulation for HVAC systems. HVAC systems produce noise that easily travels through ductwork into a building’s rooms when adequate acoustic insulation products are not installed. For our clients in the HVAC industry, we quickly deliver our products to manufacturers where they are ready to be securely installed during the fabrication process.

Natural fiber liners are a popular solution for insulating HVAC sheet metal. Our Acoustical FibraMat™ Blends are made from a combination of both natural and synthetic recycled fibers. As a safe alternative to fiberglass, this product is ideal for manufacturing environments because no protective clothing or respirators are required to handle it. We also develop custom insulation, sealing, and NVH materials, as well as virtually any type of sponge, foam, or solid sheet acoustical insulation product.

Heavy Equipment & Machinery

We service the heavy equipment industry with component parts like gaskets and seals. RubberMill also provides acoustic insulation to mitigate noise when equipment is being used in commercial areas. In the United States, regulatory agencies like OSHA maintain workplace limits for noise exposure. Incorporating acoustic insulation products into heavy machinery enclosures and other areas is essential for keeping operators safe from high noise levels while complying with regulatory standards.

In addition, acoustic insulation protects sensitive components and helps to increase the operating life of heavy equipment. Sound-absorbing materials, which are sponge-like and soft, absorb the sounds within a confined space and protect the system components within it. Sound-dampening materials, on the other hand, prevent sounds from leaving a space like an equipment enclosure or engine bay.

Automotive

Nearly every vehicle relies on automotive insulation. In everything from small vehicles to semi-trucks, these materials are essential for passenger comfort and safety. In any type of vehicle, noise affects perceived quality. Consumers pay attention to the sound of an engine running or a car door closing and form a perception of the vehicle’s quality. For this reason, acoustic insulation products are crucial for creating a high-end product.

In automotive applications, insulation is molded along the vehicle’s interior, the engine, and the trunk. Another common installation site is under the dashboard, where they form a secure barrier between unwanted engine noise and the passenger compartment. Popular materials for automotive sound absorption are nonwovens, polyurethane foam, and polyethylene foam.

For newer technologies such as battery-operated vehicles, acoustic insulation is even more important to keep noise levels down. Since there is no noisy engine to distract from other sounds – rocks hitting the underside of cars, car parts shifting, or other turbulence when driving – acoustic insulation is evolving to fit these needs. At RubberMill, our diverse product offerings include solutions for any type of automotive application.
