3.Good Thermal Insulation
Due to the closed-cell nature of IXPE, it is an excellent insulator and is used in many instances for its insulating properties.
4.Improved sound control
While sound performance is a complicated topic, our 1.5 mm IXPE has a IIC (Impact Insulation Class) rating of 59-60, compared to 1.5 mm cork at 53-55. IIC specifically relates to impact related sounds.
Compared to cork, IXPE provides superior sound performance.
5.Proven performance
IXPE is used in the automotive industry to keep the cabin insulated, both in terms of sound and temperature
