Why Choose 3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TC1803?

3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TC1803 is a standout solution for automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers focused on noise reduction and weight minimization. Featuring excellent sound absorption-to-weight ratio, this compressible, non-linting non-woven mat integrates seamlessly into automotive trim and cavity applications.

  • Highest acoustic absorption per unit weight among Thinsulate™ NVH solutions
  • Lightweight: just 185 g/m², reducing vehicle mass without compromising performance
  • Exceptional compressibility and recovery – perfect for irregular cavities
  • White polyolefin scrim adds abrasion resistance and dimensional integrity
  • Effective across middle to high-frequency sound ranges
  • Easy to convert and install: supports ultrasonic welding, adhesives, or clips

Where to Use TC1803

3M™ Thinsulate™ TC1803 is purpose-built for automotive cavity filling and NVH control, especially in areas where thickness variation or mass sensitivity matters. Recommended use cases include:

  • Door trim panels & seals

  • Headliners & parcel trays

  • Wheel well liners

  • Trunk & tailgate linings

  • Pillar trims

  • Instrument panels

  • Variable cavity NVH zones

Benefits of 3M™ Thinsulate™ TC1803
