Acoustic Engineers at the United Plastics Corp. in Mount Airy, NC, discovered refuse being left behind during the trim production processes of some luxury auto manufacturers had valuable acoustic properties. The engineers recognized the lightweight properties of the materials and their ability to absorb sound.
These new sound solutions keep waste out of landfills, are easier to install than typical sound barrier solutions, and reduce noise up to 75%. United Plastics Corp. is now producing sound barrier products for homeowners, architects, and builders to be used in any application – home, office, apartment, condominium, etc.
