Patent number: 10513591Abstract: A high heat polymer with improved sound deadening properties is provided. The material includes recycled PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) as its base polymer and combination of mineral fillers and fibers to improve heat deflection temperatures and to create a barrier within the polymer that blocks noise. The material uses use a combination of basalt fibers and mica to provide improved resistance to heat and improved elastic modulus and significant dampening of sound. The high heat performance and improved sound attenuation of the material enables the deletion of heat shields and added NVH pads to many under body and under-hood parts, as well as significantly reducing the material cost and weight in automobiles.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Paul Kenneth Dellock, Talat Karmo, Stuart C.
