- ItemREAPOR® - Sintered open-pore glass foam as a high-strength sound absorber(Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 1998) Gödeke, Holger; Fuchs, Helmut V.The market for sound insulation products and Services, accounting for some 6000 mill. DM per annum in Germany alone, is covered to the extent of more than 90% by developments which are over 40 years old. Experts at the Fraunhofer Insdtute for Building Physics (IBP) (Director: Prof Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Dr. E. h. mult. K. Gertis) have, together with an increasing number of small to medium-sized licensees, concentrated on the development of alternative, fibre-free absorbers (ALFA). The aim is to thus reduce noise pollution with more efficient sound-proofing technologies even in cases where traditional sound insulation materials are at a disadvantage as regards fitting and durabihty.
