Foam Sweet Foam

Auralex Acoustics recently announced a green initiative, which includes a reformulation of its acoustic foam panels. Snip:

-36% less global warming emission

-Improved performance & durability
over conventional solvent foams

-Lessen dependency on fossil fuels
including foreign crude oil

All Studiofoam products now include soy components which reduce petroleum-based chemical usage by up to 60% ...

Auralex Studiofoam is manufactured without harmful Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), which have been linked to the depletion of the ozone layer. In making the conversion over to the new Soy-based hybrid formula, these products now boast improved performance and durability over conventional petroleum-based foams.

The new Eco-Friendly Studiofoam is available in the same great color choices and cuts as the original with no increase in cost to either the dealer or consumer. The new offering meets or exceeds the requirements of the demanding professional in terms of both product quality and testing data (acoustical and flammability).
