SilOnyx™ substrates are made from recyclable polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and provide a barrier to absorb sound and reduce noise in the interior component of a vehicle.
PGI developed the unique one-step manufacturing process that combines the recycled materials with a facing material through multiple layering and needlepunching in a single step. This one-step process, and the use of recyclable materials produces a more cost-effective product.
In addition, the high strength SilOnyx™ materials range from 25 to 40 ounces and are lighter than traditional plastic parts, answering the market need for more efficient vehicles that consume less fuel.
