N2  - Typical acoustical materials used in cars and trucks include polyurethane foam, polyester fiber blends, vinyl barriers, and various plastic or fabric facings. These materials are required to pass Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302, which regulates the speed at which a horizontal sample of the material can burn. Buses and specialty vehicles can be subject to more stringent flammability or smoke development requirements. These additional requirements may preclude the use of some common acoustical materials or require the addition of fire retardant chemicals or special facings. This paper reviews the commonly specified flammability regulations used with industrial vehicle acoustical materials and discusses their impact on material selection, performance, and cost.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
