Acoustic Foam

Acoustic foam is a specialized material engineered to meet the demands of sound-dampening and soundproofing applications. With a balanced medium-firm texture, acoustic foam is designed to absorb sound effectively, reducing reverberation and echo in various settings. This foam is widely used in acoustical treatments, noise reduction, and sound-deadening installations, as well as for applications requiring vibrant, multi-colored options such as arts, crafts, and decorative packaging. With a durable structure and flame-resistant properties, acoustic foam meets Class A fire safety standards, ensuring both functionality and safety in a range of commercial and creative settings.

Basic Parameters

The key technical specifications of acoustic foam are as follows:

Note: We can custom-cut the foam to size for any of your projects!

Special Properties

Acoustic foam combines a light density with a medium hardness (25% ILD of 45 pounds) that is ideal for absorbing and dampening sound. Its density of 1.5 pounds per cubic foot ensures a balanced level of sound absorption while maintaining structural integrity for moderate impact resistance. Additionally, its support factor of 1.90 indicates stability and comfort, making it well-suited for acoustical applications where a secure installation is required.

• Sound Absorption - Acoustic foam is specifically formulated to reduce sound reflections, controlling unwanted noise in high-activity environments. This is achieved through an open-cell structure that effectively traps and absorbs sound waves, minimizing their transmission.
• Durability and Flexibility - With a tensile strength of at least 13.0 PSI and a tear resistance of 1.30 PPI, acoustic foam is durable yet flexible enough to withstand manipulation and installation without compromising its structural integrity. Its elongation property (minimum of 200%) allows it to flex without tearing, making it easy to work with during installation in complex or irregular spaces.
• Resiliency and Longevity - Acoustic foam's resiliency rating of 35% allows it to maintain its form after moderate compression, which is essential for prolonged installations. With a typical lifespan of 5-10 years, this foam offers reliable sound control for extended periods.
• Fire Safety - Acoustic foam complies with Class A flammability standards and is self-extinguishing, containing fire-retardant additives that improve safety in public and commercial spaces. Notably, the foam is free of PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers), making it a safer choice for environments with strict fire safety regulations.

Key Applications

• Acoustic Treatment

The foam's sound-absorbing qualities make it ideal for studios, auditoriums, home theaters, and recording spaces, where clear, controlled acoustics are essential.

• Noise Reduction and Soundproofing

Commonly used in industrial and commercial spaces, acoustic foam minimizes unwanted sound transmission, improving the auditory environment in workspaces, offices, and residential buildings.
