FXI Foamex has introduced a new product line for automotive applications that reduces passenger compartment noise with advanced polyurethane foam technology. Qylite foam offers Tier I and OEM design engineers a choice in acoustic materials with differing acoustical functions, such as sound absorption, barrier/decoupler systems, and sealing to enhance performance and control vehicle weight and cost.
Qylite foam products offer excellent sound absorption performance, are easy to handle and install, offer long-term stability, and are recyclable. Qylite foam's acoustic performance will not be adversely affected by stress and vibration making it a good choice for today's stricter requirements.
The Qylite foam family of products currently includes Qylite 100, Qylite 300, Qylite 400, and Qylite AVT foams. Qylite 100 foam is an ultra-lightweight, supersoft polyurethane dash insulator decoupler material, made with Foamex's VPFSM manufacturing process and proprietary chemistry. Qylite 300 foam is a thermoformable dash insulator material and is also manufactured using Foamex's VPFSM process. Qylite 400 combines a high-performing sound absorber with competitive pricing. Qylite AVT foam offers a unique combination of mechanical properties including low force to compress combined with excellent damping performance. Each of these materials can be further enhanced through a variety of fabrication and post-processing technologies, and can synergize with other materials in layered composites produced with Foamex's flame-lamination technology. In addition to dash insulators, applications include hood insulators, floor carpet underlay, door panel absorbers, headliner laminate absorbers, seat strainer/barrier/decouplers or absorbers, luggage compartment acoustical components, quarter panel trim absorbers and sound absorption for engine beauty shields. Foamex can also custom-engineer new materials and composites to meet a customer's specific application requirements.
