Carcoustics product innovation "Alu Fibre Compact" will be launched at the 2014 Hanover Fair

Leverkusen (ots) -

* Manufacturers enthusiastic about acoustic-thermal insulation and
damping product with unique aluminium stamping

* The specification of "Alu Fibre Compact" conforms to flammability
class A2

* CEO Dr Peter Schwibinger: "This is an intelligent solution for
all industrial products, which is a clear step forward in terms of
safety, environmental compatibility and practicality!"

Carcoustics, a company that develops and manufactures acoustic and
thermal insulating components for the automotive and other sectors,
will be introducing an innovative development to provide insulation
and damping for industrial products at the 2014 Hanover Fair: "Alu
Fibre Compact?. This product combines high-quality mineral wool with
perforated aluminium, thereby overcoming some weak points of
conventional insulating materials. "Alu Fibre Compact? is designed to
conform to flammability class A2 and is therefore not flammable and
thus safer. It excels through lower emissions, is easy to clean, and
provides both insulation and damping in one. It will be easy for the
manufacturers of household appliances, plant and machines,
agricultural machinery as well as heating and air-conditioning
equipment to incorporate the material into their product housings in
a compact and space-saving manner.

"We are continuously developing new solutions for various industry
sectors in our laboratories with the aim of enabling our customers to
build even more efficient devices or better vehicles. With the "Alu
Fibre Compact", we are offering an intelligent solution for all types
of industrial products, which represents a clear step forward in
terms of safety, environmental compatibility and practicality," says
Dr Peter Schwibinger, Carcoustics? CEO. Marcus Cleff, Industrial
Solutions Sales Director, adds: "In this product, we bond mineral
wool and perforated aluminium using a thermoforming process. That is
a material combination that manufacturers will be enthusiastic about.
It will also allow us for the first time to tailor our solution to
any specific requirement."

The benefits of "Alu Fibre Compact? at a glance: The material
offers sound insulation and absorption in one. Thanks to the stamping
process, there is no risk of mineral fibres becoming detached, which
protects both people and the environment from the irritants they
contain; at the same time, the insulation can be cleaned easily
thanks to the aluminium layer. The firmly stamped edges make for
simple and fast installation.

You will find the product innovation "Alu Fibre Compact" and
Carcoustics at the Hanover Fair from 7 to 11 April on the Joint NRW
companies stand. Hall 16, Stand A10.
