Technical materials in acoustics
Pritex manufactures a wide range of class leading acoustic materials.
These in-house developed high performance materials are available in a very wide range of specifications to best suit the end application, ensuring a cost-effective noise reduction solution for the end customer. Pritex can supply converted technical raw materials, including
- PS23 acoustic foam – with special low fogging properties for automotive use
- NG24 PU-coat – acoustic foam laminate popular in the industrial acoustics sector – certified to meet UL94 HF1 flammability
- Barrier foam – impregnated foam designed to meet the most stringent flammability requirements
Pritex has a wide range of finished component technologies, most popular in the automotive and white goods industries. These are identified under the three categories AcuLite, AcuZorb, and TufZorb. These finished components offer a wide range of presentation options including edge sealing, self adhesive backings, integration of clips, and moisture repellent facings. The in-house machine shop at Pritex ensures rapid and cost effective production and prototype tooling.
AcuLite
AcuLite is a range of high performance lightweight fibre based acoustic absorption material employed extensively throughout multiple sectors including the automotive industry as an interior trim insulation medium. Unlike many competitor materials which use 100% virgin material, the AcuLite range uses material with a finished part recyclate content typically greater than 70%.
