voestalpine Plastics Solutions has a lot of experience in manufacturing secondary bulkheads. Secondary bulkheads are used to shield the passenger cabin from noise and engine heat. This increases cabin comfort and electrical components have a longer life by the creation of a cold zone. Encapsulating the engine saves energy by keeping heat around the engine.

As much as possible engine noise is absorbed by using the optimal combination of acoustic and lightweight materials, like Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) or fibre reinforced thermoplastics.
Secondary bulkheads of plastics have a lot of design freedom, which enables a high amount of functional integration.
