Basotect®, a melamine resin foam from BASF, ensures the right sound effects under the hood of the Porsche Panamera Diesel. The foam is used for both sound and thermal insulation in the four-door Gran Turismo’s engine compartment, transmission tunnel, and paneling near the engine. In addition to its good acoustic properties and high thermal resistance, the low weight of the foam is what especially attracted developers.
