| The product |  |  |
Highly filled sound insulating compounds are used in the automotive industry to insulate engine and driving noise. The extruded sheets, sometimes covered with fleece, foam or carpet, are shaped into the correct form on presses or by vacuum drawing, and are then cut.

| The production process |  |  |
The method of producing insulation compounds generally used in the past, with an agglomerated premix of solids being fed into the first extruder barrel, is now increasingly being replaced by the split-feed process. In this proc-ess, as with traditional production, the main polymers / elastomers, plus minor components and a part of the liquids are fed into the first barrel – albeit in separate feed stream and gravimetrically weighed.
The addition of abrasive fillers is effected downstream via a Twin-screw side-feeder into the plastic compound. The advantages of this method lie in the safe handling of the raw materials and the associated improvement in product quality, with significantly lower costs for abrasion.
