Sekisui Alveo develops new insulation for commercial vehicles

Lucerne, Switzerland, 18 August 2008 – Comfort, generous leg room and the latest multimedia equipment are a matter of course in modern coaches. However, engine and driving noise reduction is also important in order to make the journey for passengers as pleasant as possible. Sekisui Alveo, manufacturer of polyolefin foams, together with Foam Techniques Ltd. has developed a new insulation system in this respect. The laminate consisting of two foams and a metallised film ensures perfect acoustic and thermal insulation. Alveo-Soft, a soft foam, also compensates for unevenness of rivets and welded seams on the metal floor. This prevents passengers from stumbling on the gangway. The floor insulation is already being used in vehicles of a major European commercial vehicle manufacturer.
