• Observations
• Urban population will grow from 50% to 75% by 2050
• Noise over 60 dB = stress, illness (WHO)
• Massive transport traffic increase
The quest for quiet has become a society issue
• Issues• Since 2010, EU Norms
impose maximum noise levels, however…
• Buildings not insulated
• Materials not adapted
• Existing solutions not
effective
The dramatic increase of noise impact on health calls for new solutions boosting acoustic performance
Buildings – new and renovated TransportIndustry
Home Eos
Quest• Provide the market with innovative solutions meeting the highest acoustic
performance
• Based on renewable natural material accessible through local and circular
economy
• Presenting a low carbon footprint and exempt from health or environmental
impact
• Recyclable and/or biodegradable
• Fire resistant
• Exempt from chemicals under scrutiny by regulators and society
• Offering alternative to fossil carbon based products
• Easy to produce with low water and energy requirements
• Flexible and adaptable solutions to three main
markets

The competitive landscape
Market leaders provide products not achieving acoustic performance (thermal insulation) or based on obsolete technologies (bitumen or rubbers)
Traditional
methods
Solutions based on “Mass law”:the heaviest and the thickest , the better
- Excess use of raw materials - Thick and heavy partitions (walls, ceilings, floors)- Excess of transport and handling energy and emissions
Principle: reduces noise transmission using mass
- Effective in high and medium frequency ranges.
- Ineffective in low frequency (bass)
- Ineffective in absorbing vibrations
Bricks, stones, concrete or bitumen, lead, PVC, EPDM or PU membranesNot renewable, not biodegradable, loaded with high energy content Produced from fossil or mineral material with high direct and indirect CO2 content
Home Eos
solution
A dedicated thin, microcellular acoustic barrierProviding a superior acoustic comfort by dissipationof the sound energy and the absorption of vibrations
Made of a renewable and recyclable biopolymer with a low carbon footprint based on natural organic raw materials
A unique innovation to provide an effective
acoustic insulation
A mass loaded viscoelastic polymer (resilient)
Effective at all frequencies and offering superior
performance in low frequencies (bass)
Advantages
- Mass loaded viscoelastic
membrane
- High performance at all
frequencies- Dissipation of noise energy
- Absorption of vibrations
- Decoupling like “silent-block”
- Natural fire resistance
- Without flame retardant
- No fume, no melt
- Easy to cut
-Flexible to fit all
configurations
- Reduced mounting time
- Thin (3-5 mm) - Light
- Saves living surface and
volume
- Allow light structures
- Renewable and natural
- Recyclable products
- Biodégradable
- Odorless
- No release of fibres or dust
- Healthy through the life cycle
- Biopolymer based on organic
compounds
- Low carbon footprint
- Alternative to bitumen, PVC, EPDM
or PU- No COV
- No Plasticizers
- Without solvents
- Made in
Belgium
- Circular
economy
- Savings
