September 13, 2002—National Nonwovens says that their composite insulating core reduces sound levels, resulting in a 25-28% better noise reduction coefficient than the current competitive materials. The results are less noise transmitting through the materials, which produces an acoustically superior insulation product that promotes quieter environments. The insulating core also has excellent absorbing properties when compared to fiberglass batting and foams, says the company, and the significantly lower thermal conductivity results in a temperature-stable material for more comfortable environments.
National Nonwovens’ claims are based on a series of tests the company conducted in August 2002 on their improved Atvantage Composite Insulating Core, Style: CIC006, Velcro compatible materials. According to National Nonwovens, these standardized ASTM tests, which measure sound absorption capabilities and thermal conductivity, proved that CIC006 is significantly superior to existing Nomex nonwovens. National Nonwovens’ needling technology, combined with the government-certified quality laboratory (QLL), also ensures that construction is uniform.
National Nonwovens says that their nonwoven technical materials play an important role in the future of such progressive markets as Ballistics, Aerospace, Transportation, and Filtration. For more information, visit National Nonwovens.
