Abstract
A partition for sealing and/or supporting a cavity includes a carrier and an expansion material on the carrier. The expansion material transitions from an initial state to an expanded state by activation. The carrier includes at least one compensation element that provides variability of an effective sealing surface of the carrier in case of a force acting on the carrier. The carrier also includes a limiting element that limits movement of at least one portion of the carrier that accompanies a change in the effective sealing surface of the carrier.
