Product Description
Light-weight alternative to traditional heavy layer acoustic barriers. It uses 40 to 80% of post industrial recycled carpet to produce parts that are up to 40% lighter but give comparable acoustical performance as well as providing improved manufacturing efficiency. It is 100% recycleable.

SonoTec EP has been designed as a replacement for traditional heavy layer acoustical parts used as dash insulators, carpet backing, throw in mats and sheet metal close out plugs. It is also currently used in throw in mats, cowl panels and as seat belt retractor covers.
