Foams – Efficient sound insulation and absorption for industry and room acoustics

Foams are proven and versatile materials for sound absorption and sound damping in a wide range of applications. They reduce noise, minimise reverberation and specifically improve the acoustic properties of machines, vehicles, heat pumps, medical technology, cabins, capsules, hoods, rail vehicles, construction machinery and agricultural machinery. They also make a decisive contribution to sound optimisation in room acoustics, for example in offices, studios or event rooms.

Thanks to their open-pored structure, acoustic foams are particularly effective at absorbing airborne sound. Sound waves penetrate the pores, are converted into heat in the material and are thus greatly attenuated. This leads to a significant reduction in noise and improves both the working environment and acoustic comfort.

In addition, technical foams are lightweight, flexible and available in a variety of shapes, densities and surface structures – depending on the acoustic requirements and area of application. Their adaptability makes them ideal for installation in complex geometries or areas that are difficult to access, such as machine enclosures or vehicle interiors. Depending on requirements, they can also be equipped with additional properties such as flame retardancy, oil and chemical resistance or thermal insulation.

In addition to their acoustic performance, modern foams also score highly in terms of environmental aspects: many variants are low-emission, durable and recyclable – a plus for sustainable applications in industry and building technology.
