One of the biggest concerns for construction equipment manufacturers is ensuring that the equipment they put on the market meets all the necessary safety standards. Polymer Technologies Inc. sees that concern and matches it with our custom material solutions.
After all, the challenges faced by big equipment manufacturers differ significantly from those faced by equipment manufacturers in the recreational, warehousing, and even aviation industries. So, we must approach construction needs differently, making our custom solutions the best option.
Whether you are concerned about thermal, acoustic, or vibration challenges, Polymer has solutions for any need. Let’s look at our molded foam, rubber, and acoustic barrier products that will be the perfect finishing touch for your construction equipment.
Custom Molded Foam To Extend the Life of Your Equipment
Protecting construction equipment from various events during operation is essential. One of the easiest ways to prevent safety issues created by excess heat, vibration, and sound is to protect the machine parts with molded foam.
For sound attenuation and noise reduction solutions, we offer a variety of POLYDAMP® acoustical foam products made from melamine, polyurethane, and hydrophobic melamine foam. Our POLYDAMP® foam products are suitable for controlling noise, heat, and vibrations.
While we know the competitors have flat foams to offer as their own solutions, Polymer knows that for the best results, you need to invest in custom molded foam parts. This way, the foam adheres to each part perfectly, creating a barrier between it and the machine itself or the operator.
How We Make Custom Molded Rubber Work for Any Challenge
Our custom molded rubber options cover various uses and benefit large equipment for vibration, thermal, and noise control. Polymer has spent the past 30 years attempting to perfect our methods to meet any challenges our customers might throw at us.
Over the years, we’ve learned that our customers typically seek solutions for hoses and various molded rubber components, such as customized engine covers.

From organic to silicone options, we are dedicated to supporting your objectives with hoses that deliver outstanding durability, flexibility, and superior performance.
Molded Rubber Parts:
Engineered for precision, our molded rubber components are designed to boost the efficiency and lifespan of your construction equipment. Recognizing the uniqueness of every project, we customize each part to address the specific challenges posed by construction and industrial applications.
Acoustical Barriers and Mats for Added Soundproofing
One of the most significant challenges for construction equipment manufacturers is finding a way to soundproof the cabin as much as possible. While engine and equipment noise irritates the machine operator overall, it can also cause wear and tear to the equipment.
Sound causes vibrations in addition to the natural vibrations that occur when an engine or other parts are functioning, breaking down the materials used to build the equipment. By adding acoustic barriers and floor mats, manufacturers can ensure that their equipment will sustain its functionality for longer.
Polymer has a series of options that our customers utilize to reduce noise. They are:
- POLYFORM® molded urethanes for cosmetic finished and acoustic cab insulation
- POLYDAMP® Floor-Mat to minimize noise and vibration through vehicle floors
- Molded foam and standard foams for headliner, cosmetic, and functional purposes.
