Spotlight on Green: Eco-Friendly Foam from Auralex

Indianapolis-based Auralex Acoustics recently released the first "green" acoustical foam product to be introduced to the audio production and post market. The company’s Eco-Friendly StudioFoam now includes soy components that reduce petroleum-based chemical usage by up to 60 percent. StudioFoam is now manufactured without harmful Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This greener formula helps reduce global warming emissions by lessening dependence on fossil fuels. The company has also found that in making the switch to its new soy-based hybrid formula, the foam lasts longer and performs better than conventional petroleum-based foams. StudioFoam is available in its original colors and costs the same as previous versions, starting at $109 for a 24-piece box of 1’ x 1’ x 2" wedge panels. www.auralex.com
