What is Alveosoft?
Alveo is a brand name of Sekisui Alveo AG, a leading manufacturer of technical foam based on polyolefins and EVA. The company is part of the Japanese Sekisui Chemical Group and has its production facilities in Switzerland. The brand is known for high-quality foams specifically developed for industrial applications where properties such as flexibility, resilience, insulation, or durability are important.
Alveo foams are used in sectors such as medical, automotive, construction, packaging, and sports & leisure. Thanks to their consistent quality, innovative production processes, and excellent processability, Alveo products are used worldwide in demanding applications.
What properties does Alveosoft foam have?
Alveo foam is characterized by its low weight and durable cell structure, which makes the material both flexible and resilient. The foam recovers well after compression, making it ideal for applications where cushioning or sealing is required. Its fine and uniform cell structure ensures consistent performance across the entire surface, which is particularly important in applications involving pressure distribution or insulation.
Additionally, the foam offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, making it suitable for situations where temperature or sound control is important. The material is available in various hardness levels and densities, allowing it to be tailored to application requirements. In many cases, the foam is also resistant to external influences such as UV radiation and ozone, making certain types of Alveo suitable for outdoor use.
Another advantage is its excellent processability: the foam is easy to cut, punch, or laminate, and can be supplied with a self-adhesive layer for quick installation. Thanks to these properties, Alveo foam is suitable for both technical and aesthetic applications across various industries.

How is it applied?
The applications of Alveo foam are highly diverse. In construction, it is often used as a sealing material to ensure airtight or watertight connections between different building components. In the automotive industry, it is also a popular material, used for sound insulation, vibration damping, and thermal protection in doors, dashboards, and engine hoods.
Additionally, Alveo foam is suitable as an intermediate layer or protective material in packaging for fragile components. Its cushioning properties protect products against shocks and vibrations during transport. In electrical engineering and air duct systems, it is used as sealing tape or mounting strips, often combined with a self-adhesive backing.
Because the material is easy to process and performs well under various conditions, it is also frequently used in the leisure sector, such as in sports applications or consumer electronics. The flexibility of the foam makes it possible to achieve both functional and aesthetic solutions, where comfort, durability, and technical performance go hand in hand.
