Product Overview: Automotive Acoustic Black Glasswool Blanket
Acoustic black glasswool blanket for automotive applications (also known as car acoustic black glasswool blanket or automotive glass wool roll) represents a flexible, lightweight insulation material composed of fine black glass fibers bonded with a thermosetting resin. Specifically, one side of the blanket is laminated with black polyester non-woven tissue with hydro and fire retardant treatment, creating a durable, aesthetically pleasing facing that is acoustically permeable. Consequently, this dual-layer structure delivers excellent sound absorption, thermal insulation, and vibration damping for automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) control.
TARCO Industry produces its automotive acoustic black glasswool blanket from high-quality quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, and recycled glass cullet. During production, we melt these raw materials at high temperatures and fiberize them into fine filaments. Ultimately, the black polyester tissue facing is bonded to one side, providing a smooth, acoustically transparent surface that enhances sound absorption while limiting air resistance. Furthermore, the product is designed for subsequent re-processing by thermocompression, allowing it to be molded into complex automotive shapes.
Key Features & Benefits of Automotive Acoustic Black Glasswool Blanket
Furthermore, the black polyester tissue facing provides an acoustically permeable dark finish that is ideal for automotive interior applications. Additionally, low thermal conductivity of 0.032–0.045 W/m·K effectively reduces heat transfer and improves thermal comfort in vehicle cabins. Moreover, the black tissue facing is treated with hydro and fire retardant treatment, meeting FMVSS 302 flammability requirements for automotive interiors. Consequently, the product achieves excellent sound absorption across a wide frequency range, with an average sound absorption coefficient above 0.75 in the mid-to-high frequency range. Therefore, it is lightweight and easy to cut, mold, and install in irregular vehicle spaces, reducing labor costs. In addition, it offers resistance to automotive fluids, anti-aging, and resistance to microbial growth for long service life. Furthermore, the product is designed for thermosetting process at 200°C–210°C, making it compatible with standard automotive manufacturing processes.
