BASF's Basotect® Melamine Foam to Help Commuters Enjoy Quieter and More Relaxed Travel in Montreal Subway Cars

Bombardier chose Basotect based acoustic foam parts provided by Artik/OEM, Inc., a foam converter with locations in Canada as well as the United States servicing Bombardier. With a density of only 9 kg/m³, Basotect helps to reduce the overall weight of the cars and thus contributes to the goals of Bombardier to enhance performance and to increase the energy efficiency of their trains. Using Basotect to replace fiberglass resulted in a 35% weight savings of the roof insulation.
