HIGH PERFORMANCE MOLDABLE COMPOSITE

A moldable composite (29, 200) with high heat resistance and noise absorption properties utilizes nonwoven fabrics (24) including a heat resistance additive. The composite (29,200) comprising nonwoven fabrics (24 and a film (20). The composite that provides both superior acoustic performance and excellent flex modulus may be utilized in automotive products and applications in interior and exterior structures. A blowing agent (16) may be utilized to create micro porous cells in a polymer non-woven structure (24). The cells or voids make the material lighter and allow the material to have superior acoustic properties that are useful in automotive applications.
