Adhex - Automotive Acoustic and Thermal Soundproofing Solutions
Adhex provides innovative solutions for acoustic and thermal soundproofing in vehicles, addressing critical requirements such as noise reduction and thermal insulation. Their products, XL Pad and XL Drypad, are tailored to meet industry standards, including fire safety, odor control, and environmental directives. XL Pad is constructed with 20% recycled materials and is versatile for both dry and wet applications like soundproofing the mudguard or wheel arch. In contrast, XL Drypad, made with 70-100% recycled content, is optimized for dry areas, suitable for floor underlays or beneath carpets. Both solutions are designed to lighten vehicles while ensuring regulatory compliance. Their acoustic efficacy is validated against key acoustic performance measures. Adhex works closely with manufacturers, offering custom adhesive backings and an array of thermoformed parts in foam or plastic that also serve as barriers against air, water, dust, and noise, exemplifying their commitment to enhancing vehicle performance through innovative material applications.
In order to reduce exterior noise, Adhex has developed two products that comply with current regulations (on fire in particular, but also on odors) and environmental requirements. Lightweight, they also respond to the weight reduction of vehicles. Validated according to the two main acoustic criteria (“diffuse field sound absorption” and “impedance tube”), our products meet the needs of manufacturers, with whom our teams work from the design phase through to industrial implementation. This implementation is carried out either by adhesive or mechanically.
The XL Pad Acoustic Fiber is a product made of 20% recycled materials, suitable for use in dry or wet areas (excluding the engine compartment): it will be adapted for example to soundproof the mudguard, the hood, the wheel arch or the rear quarter panel.
XL Drypad Acoustic Felt is made from 70 to 100% recycled materials and is reserved for use in dry areas; it is used in particular on the floor and under carpets, under trim or boot mats. These products guarantee good acoustic insulation but also contribute to the thermal insulation of the vehicle.
