Fireflex®

Silencing

Flexible PU foam targeting different noise reduction coefficient (NRC) ratings. It combines excellent sound absorption properties with good heat, humidity and chemical resistance. In combination with PU facings, it meets flammability ratings such as FMVSS-302 and UL94 HF-1. Other film facing coverings and patterns are available.

Finishing options:
Available in rolls, sheets and cut parts, with and without adhesive backing. Optional facings and composites using heavy mass barrier are also available. Can be cut, profiled and glued.

Firend®

Silencing

Impregnated, flexible PU foam that combines improved sound absorption and thermal performance with effective fire resistance. It can be used in combination with heavy mass, an anti-vibrational layer, a PU film, non-woven film or an aluminised facing to achieve optimal acoustic absorption. Various grades are available passing specific fire tests (UL94 HF-1, M1, UL 746C, BS 476 Part 6 & 7 (Class 0)). Operating temperature range: up to 130°C/266°F.

Finishing options:
Available in rolls, sheets and cut parts, with and without adhesive backing. Optional facings and composites using heavy mass barrier are also available. Can be cut, profiled and glued.

Basotect®

Silencing

Thermo-acoustic melamine resin based foam that combines very good acoustic absorption and thermal performance with high heat and flame resistance. Operating temperature range: up to 240°C/464°F.

Finishing options:
Available in sheets and cut parts, with and without adhesive backing. Optional facings and composites using heavy mass barrier are also available. Can be cut, profiled and glued.

Soundfiber

Silencing

Rugged non-woven PET fibre material with acoustic fabric facing for excellent acoustic absorption. It provides significant broadband sound absorption at a lower thickness and weight. A composite version is available that is UL94 HF-1 rated.

Finishing options:
Available in rolls, sheets and cut parts.

Stratocell® Whisper®

Silencing

Semi-rigid, hydrophobic, sound absorbing foam based on low-density polyethylene. It offers excellent performance in high-moisture environments and good UV resistance.

Finishing options:
Available in sheets and cut parts.

Stratocell® Whisper® is a registered trademark of Sealed Air Corporation (US).

Soundmat

Silencing

Flexible mass-loaded barrier (lead-free PVC septum or EPDM layer) that can be combined with sound absorbing or decoupling foam and film facings. Reduces low frequencies and blocks airborne noise.

Finishing options:
Available in rolls, sheets and cut parts.

Soundmat (composite)

Silencing

Flexible mass-loaded barrier (lead-free PVC septum or EPDM layer) that is combined with sound absorbing or decoupling foam and film facings (composite). Reduces low frequencies and blocks airborne noise.

Finishing options:
Available in rolls, sheets and cut parts.

 

 

Facing options

Non-woven fabric

Provides a barrier to moisture, dirt, grease and chemicals. Various fabric options allow for tuning of the composite’s acoustic properties.

Fibreglass

Enables protection and enhanced acoustic performance.

Heat reflective facing

Engineered heat reflective facing for use in high-temperature applications. It can be used as a stand-alone material or as part of a foam or PET composite.

PU film

Polymer surface treatment applied directly to selected materials. Provides a textured surface and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The PU film enables improved sound absorption, while providing a barrier to moisture, dirt, grease and chemicals.

Aluminium facing

Rugged, reflective surface that provides an impervious barrier to moisture, dirt, grease and chemicals. Also available with reinforced scrim.
