Melamine foam – high-performance absorber for technical and industrial applications
Melamine foam is an open-cell foam based on melamine resin. Its fine cell structure gives it excellent sound-absorbing properties, especially in the mid and high frequency ranges. Thanks to its high temperature resistance, low density and flame-retardant properties, melamine foam is a preferred material in technical sound insulation.
Areas of application for melamine foam
Melamine foam is used by Cellofoam in numerous technical and industrial areas:
✔ Mechanical and plant engineering: For damping structure-borne noise and machine noise, e.g. in baffle silencers or compressors
✔ Medical technology: In devices or dental units for noise minimisation
✔ Vehicle construction: In commercial vehicles, rail vehicles and special-purpose vehicles for interior soundproofing
✔ Air conditioning technology and heat pumps: For soundproofing housings, air ducts and compressors
✔ Building acoustics: In recording studios, schools, restaurants and offices to improve speech intelligibility and reduce reverberation
Benefits of melamine foam
✔ High absorption capacity with low weight
✔ Temperature resistant up to over 200°C
✔ Flame retardant without additional coating
✔ Dimensionally stable and resistant to ageing
✔ Easy to process and flexible installation
