Why this product
Galfoam sheets with a density of 70 kg/m³ are designed for applications that call for a material with high stiffness and substantial load-bearing capacity, while retaining their acoustic decoupling capability.
Particularly suitable for industrial projects involving heavy systems or harsh operating conditions.
Technical product description
Galfoam GA70 is a foamed polyolefin material (Cellular Extruded Polyolefin Foam) with a closed-cell structure, manufactured by extrusion and designed for noise and vibration isolation applications.
The microcellular structure provides:
- Damping of vibration energy
- Reduced vibration transfer through structural elements
- An elastic decoupling layer under high loads
The material works by reducing the transfer of mechanical energy (Structure-borne vibration), thereby limiting noise transmission from machinery, industrial equipment and infrastructure systems.
Thanks to its high density and closed-cell structure, the material offers exceptionally high resistance to harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, water, chemicals and abrasion.
Applications
- Heavy machinery
- Industrial infrastructure
- HVAC systems
- Plant rooms
- Acoustic bases
- Technical facilities
- Separation of structures and systems
