MICROL® designates a range of ADDEV Materials technical foams designed to provide sealing, filtration, absorption, and protection functions in demanding industrial environments. These materials are used to manage interfaces between components, control air or liquid flows, and dampen vibrations in Power & Mobility systems.
ADDEV Materials designs, transforms and delivers MICROL® solutions in formats adapted for customer integration: die-cut parts, technical gaskets, pads, inserts, kits, or multi-material assemblies. The added value lies in the choice of foam, mastery of compression, and bespoke transformation.
MICROL® is a range of technical foams developed to meet sealing, damping, filtration, and insulation needs in industrial systems. Performance depends mainly on the cellular structure, density, compression set, and resilience of the material.
Open-cell foam promotes the controlled passage of air or liquids. Closed-cell foam acts as a sealing and protective barrier. High-density versions are used for mechanical support, while flexible foams compensate for assembly tolerances.
ADDEV Materials transforms MICROL® into ready-to-integrate functional parts: seals, filters, absorption pads, compressible interfaces, component protections and laminated solutions with films, adhesives or release liners.
MICROL® is selected when a component needs to combine mechanical, sealing, or filtering functions within a small space. The range allows for the material's response to be adjusted according to compression, permeability, and the usage environment.
Controlled compression for technical joints and interfaces
Open or closed cells according to expected function
Absorption of vibrations, shocks, and assembly tolerances
Cut, laminated or kitted formats according to customer process
ADDEV Materials offers several MICROL® configurations depending on the desired function: sealing, filtration, damping, absorption, or interface protection.
| MICROL® Range | Structure | Main function | Types of applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| MICROL® Open Cell | Open-cell foam | Filtration, ventilation, absorption | Air/liquid filters, flow management, ventilated electronics |
| MICROL® Closed Cell | Closed-cell foam | Waterproofing, barrier, protection | Joint techniques, BESS, casings, exposed interfaces |
| MICROL® Soft Foam | Soft compressible mousse | Amortisation, tolerance compensation | Pads, absorbers, protection for sensitive components |
| MICROL® High Density | High-density mousse | Mechanical maintenance, compressive strength | Structural interfaces, shimming, technical supports |
| MICROL® Technical Composite | Laminated or multi-layer structure | Combined function: waterproofing + adhesion + protection | Ready-to-fit parts, adhesive joints, complex assemblies |
The selection of a MICROL® grade depends on the intended compression, expected permeability, level of sealing, and format for integration into the client's system.
The MICROL® properties vary depending on the cell structure, formulation, and processed format. The parameters below are the most important selection criteria during the design phase.
MICROL® foams are used when the interface needs to perform a mechanical, thermal, or filtration function without complicating the assembly. Priority applications cover ADDEV Materials' Power & Mobility markets.
ADDEV Materials transforms MICROL® foams into functional parts suited to integration constraints. Converting allows control over the geometry, thickness, adhesion level, and repeatability of parts delivered in series.
Choosing MICROL® from ADDEV Materials allows you to combine material expertise, industrial processing, and application adaptation:
Are you looking for a technical foam to provide sealing, filtration, absorption or cushioning? ADDEV Materials analyses your usage environment, your compression constraints and your integration process in order to recommend the adapted MICROL® configuration.
MICROL® is an ADDEV Materials range of technical foams used for sealing, filtering, absorbing, and damping functions. It is converted into bespoke parts for Power & Mobility industrial applications.
Open-cell foam allows air or certain liquids to circulate and is suitable for filtering, ventilation or absorption functions. Closed-cell foam acts as a barrier and is better suited for seals, compressible interfaces and moisture protection.
The choice depends on the compression set, available thickness, permanent deformation tolerance, and operating environment. For long-lasting sealing, ADDEV favours a structure that is compatible with the clamping force and mechanical cycles of the system.
Yes. ADDEV Materials can laminate MICROL® with adhesives, liners, technical films, or protective backings. This configuration allows for the delivery of ready-to-install parts, compatible with the client's assembly lines.
MICROL® can be used for housing seals, absorption pads, compressible interfaces, and component protection. The objective is to control vibrations, assembly tolerances, and certain sealing interfaces.
Yes, open-cell versions can be selected for filtration or flow management functions. The choice depends on the porosity, density, thickness, and acceptable pressure drop level.
Yes. ADDEV Materials transforms MICROL® into custom-cut parts: seals, pads, filters, inserts, or kits. Possible operations include cutting, laminating, adhesive bonding, kitting, and bespoke packaging.
