(Sound-Absorbing Open-Cell Foam for Echo and Reverberation Control)
Acoustic Foam Panels are lightweight, open-cell foam materials designed to absorb airborne sound, control echo, and reduce reverberation in enclosed environments. These panels are ideal for treating mid-to-high frequency noise and improving sound clarity across a range of applications — from professional studios to commercial and industrial spaces.
Key Features
Open-Cell Structure:
Made from either polyurethane (PU) acoustic foam or melamine resin-based foam, these panels trap sound waves and convert acoustic energy into heat via friction in the foam's cellular structure.
High NRC Values:
Typical Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ranges from 0.70 to 1.0 depending on thickness and surface pattern (e.g., wedge, pyramid, egg crate).
Effectively targets mid- and high-frequency sounds (500 Hz – 4000 Hz)
Surface Geometry:
Designed with textured or convoluted surfaces to increase surface area and improve sound absorption
Can be cut, shaped, or layered for custom acoustic performance
Fire Safety Options:
PU Acoustic Foam: Available in Class 1 fire-rated grades when treated with fire-retardants
Melamine Foam: Naturally flame-resistant; meets stringent fire codes (e.g., UL 94, DIN 4102 B1, and FMVSS 302)
Ideal for use in code-compliant commercial buildings, transport cabins, and public venues
Lightweight & Easy to Install:
Typically installed using adhesive or mechanical fixing
Requires no special tools and offers long-term dimensional stability
