Ensure airtightness with the right sealing solution
√ Ensure airtightness with the right sealing solution
Avoid air leaks in your HVAC system
- Prevent energy loss using solid sealing solutions
Whether your solution constitutes one component or covers the entire sealing of an HVAC system, you can prevent energy loss using long-lasting and high-performance sealing solutions
Don’t compromise on the choice of materials and properties when selecting your sealing solutions
√ Ensure airtightness with the right sealing solution
The right gaskets and sealing strips will guarantee an airtight seal
Choose gaskets and sealing strips for sealing of cabinets, sealing between different parts of the internal construction, or as gap fillers.
Because HVAC systems need different sealing solutions for each component, make sure to select materials that fit the requirements of the unique application.
Seal rotating parts and uneven surfaces with brush seals and profiles
Choose brush seals and profiles for sealing uneven surfaces or rotating parts in your HVAC system, as they ensure a low-friction seal. Because these serve in an environment that enables bacterial and fungal growth, we recommend hygienic certified brush seals and profiles suitable for withstanding outside impacts.
Standard or customized –the choice is yours
You benefit from our quality sealing solutions Explore our universal solutions that fit the most common dimensions and sealing needs, as well as our customized solutions that fit the requirements of unique applications.
When customizing your sealing solution, choose the type of material, dimensions, adhesives, and treatment to withstand outside impacts.
Our experts will advise you on everything from choice of materials, such as hygienic certified alternatives, to testing and validation.
Gaskets
DAFA offers a broad range of standard and customized gaskets in any shape or size from a wide selection of polymer materials, with or without adhesive. Our innovation department helps you with design and construction - for the perfect fit.
Brush seals
Our wide range of brush seals is ideal for sealing rotating parts and uneven surfaces. Choose flexible brush seals to prevent particles from entering critical parts while ensuring low friction and easy assembly. Depending on the seal, width, and installation gap, we also offer customized solutions in terms of profiles and brush lengths – including self-adhesive backing.
Also, to guarantee no bacterial or fungal growth according to ISO 846, you can count on DAFA’s hygienic brush seal.
Profiles
DAFA’s sealing profile seals your system and facilitates easy mounting – both when establishing the seal and during maintenance.
Sealing strips
DAFA strips are used in many different applications. For example, as sealing of doors, between different parts of the internal construction, or as gap fillers. Our wide range of materials and adhesives can be customized to meet your specific demands.

High-quality thermal insulation solutions with low water absorption properties protect against condensation, helping you achieve significant reductions in operating and maintenance costs.
Use thermal insulation solutions with low water absorption properties to protect against condensation
Minimize safety concerns, including fire risk and inadequate hygiene
Our solutions made of closed-cell materials are characterized by low water absorption and excellent thermal insulation properties. This reduces the risk of condensation-related interference with your system’s performance and energy efficiency.
We can provide you with solutions that meet the requirements of hygiene, such as our DAFA Soft material that is certified according to ISO 846. You can also count on our materials and solutions that adhere to the requirements of safety, including fire prevention.
√ Reduce vibrations and noise with sound insulation and dampening
√ Reduce noise and vibrations with sound insulation and dampening
Reduce vibrations and noise
- Protect your system and its surroundings
HVAC systems involve many moving and rotating components that can create vibrations and noise. To avoid performance issues or damage and prevent unwanted noise, effective dampening is crucial.
Avoid damage and prevent noise caused by vibrations
Insufficient vibration dampening can lead to unwanted noise and performance issues, making good vibration dampening crucial. Choose dense, long-lasting materials such as rubber and PUR foam, as these have excellent vibration insulation properties.
Minimize unwanted noise using sound insulation solutions
As authorities and organizations become increasingly aware of noise, further regulations are implemented. Keep one step ahead of these expectations, and choose solutions with sound-dampening properties suitable for the noise of HVAC systems.

Sound absorption
By reducing the reflection of airborne noise, surroundings become more comfortable due to lower noise levels. Products with high aural comfort are sought after in the industry.
Solutions are adapted and designed based on the DAFA Sound range for the product and the materials they are to match. This achieves results that make our customers’ finished products even more competitive.
Sound insulation
Growing demands from authorities and organizations regarding noise levels are often the driving force for sound insulation of products or manufacturing systems.
DAFA Sound contains products which, together with DAFA’s other skills, ensure sound effective solutions for insulating the noise source or shielding from the outside world. DAFA Sound thus contributes to ensuring that noise and vibrations are less disturbing. o users.
Structural sound damping
Structural sound damping is about avoiding the propagation of plate vibrations. It is particularly applicable to structures, enclosures, and cabinets.
The DAFA Sound range includes special products designed to absorb and optimize acoustics. It requires solutions designed individually with regard to raw materials, composite materials, surfaces, colors, and shapes.
Prevent leaks by using universal cable seals and pipe collars
Prevent leaks by using universal cable seals and pipe collars
Prevent leaks around cables and pipes
- Be aware of tight sealing in complicated sections
It can be quite challenging to find solutions that ensure an airtight seal around cables and pipes. Insufficient sealing can lead to air leaks, jeopardizing the performance and energy efficiency of your system.
Cable seals – makes complex seals easy If you use universal and flexible cable seals, it will be easy and simple to create an airtight seal around cables. When using cable seals, it is possible to mount a complete cable harness with plugs attached. This saves time in production, or if service or repairs are required, as there is no need for reassembling plugs.
Pipe collars – fast and efficient sealing solution Effectively prevent leaks around the pipes by using pipe collars. Using universal pipe collars will also save you time and inconvenience during installation, as they do not require any special tools. Another advantage, if you select a self-adhesive version, is that no glue is needed.
