Rogers' new acoustic sound barrier material for aircraft applications

Rogers Corp. has announced the new acoustic BISCO A2 sound barrier material for aircraft applications and to meet aircraft standards for flammability, smoke density and toxicity and is approved to the Airbus ABS5708 material specification.

BISCO A2 is used to block the transmission of sound and demonstrates excellent performance in low frequency noise reduction.

A solid silicone rubber, BISCO A2 provides transmission loss performance in extreme environments while maintaining physical properties. BISCO A2 provides temperature stability (-50C to +180C), outstanding flame resistance, and low moisture absorption.

Innovative filler technology allows the A2 material to pass the aircraft radiant panel flame test FAR25.856 from aerial densities of 1.2 kg/m² to 8.2 kg/m² (0.25 lbs/ft² to 1.68 lbs/ft²), and also used in railcars. The BISCO A2 sound barrier is a safe choice for acoustic insulation applications where extreme flame resistance is required.
