Federal-Mogul’s QuietShield GRN – green nonwoven – insulation, first used in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, will now be used by General Motors to help eliminate cabin noise in the new 2012 Buick Verano.
Comprised of recycled cardboard packaging and other byproducts normally discarded at vehicle manufacturing plants, QuietShield GRN is used as acoustical material in the Verano’s headliner to reduce noise in the passenger compartment.
It represents an effective solution compared to traditional noise-dampening materials, that helps reduce waste disposal and associated costs, Federal-Mogul says.
