Acoustic and insulation components reduce noise and vibration in the vehicle. They consist largely of PUR foam systems and carrier compounds – their raw material prices largely determine the material costs.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Acoustic components are fitted in large volumes and consist to a large extent of PUR foam; price movements in polyols and isocyanates feed straight through to costs.
High foam content: insulation parts consist of flexible PUR foam, whose raw material prices fluctuate.
Several raw materials: polyols and isocyanates (TDI/MDI) develop differently in price terms.
Carrier components: heavy layers and carriers in PP compounds round out the material base.



From procurement to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions right along the entire value chain.
Tracks price developments for the plastics used, positions the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material alternatives and specifications in terms of cost and factors price developments into component design at an early stage.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies margin risks early and bases strategic decisions on dependable market data.
