Basotect can be used as an acoustic regulating material both in technical applications and in room acoustics.
Examples of use:
You can choose whether you want whole sheets or B6 cut to your measurements. We also offer Basotect with a laminated foil and/or adhesive.
If you want an alternative material that can withstand moisture, we can recommend our Whispercell or hygiene sound baffles.
Basotect, manufactured by the German chemical company BASF, is a lightweight material used in the production of sound absorbers. Sound absorbers work by converting sound waves into thermal energy. When sound hits the sound-absorbing material, friction occurs, significantly reducing reverberation time.
Basotect is an open-cell foam material primarily made of melamine resin. Melamine is a thermosetting plastic well-known in the production of kitchenware, while resin is a form of synthetic resin. These two components are mixed with other ingredients, foamed, and hardened to form the final foam material.
The open-cell structure gives the material its sound-absorbing qualities, which, depending on the thickness, provide excellent insulation across a wide range of frequencies. The material also possesses outstanding fire-retardant properties. The heat-resistant foam can withstand a constant temperature of up to 220 degrees Celsius and, with a density of just 9 kg/m3, it is effortless to work with. Its malleability allows for a wide range of exciting applications.
In addition to being an outstanding sound absorber, Basotect also possesses excellent moisture-absorbing, antibacterial, and UV-resistant properties. When combined with its heat-resistant and fire-retardant qualities, this versatile foam material can be used in various contexts. For example, it can function as a sound absorber in different constructions or as cut-out pieces used as noise-reducing absorbers in machinery and cabins.
Basotect can be used as an acoustic regulation material, suitable for both technical applications and improving room acoustics. The material is commonly used as sound insulation in recording studios and music practice rooms. It can also be applied as sound absorption in sports halls, production areas, and other environments where noise needs to be contained within or prevented from entering a room.
The lightweight foam material can be custom-cut for use as absorbers in machinery, cabins, or any setting that requires sound-dampening measures. It can also be used as a sound absorber in various ducts, chambers, pipes, and shafts. Additionally, it is used to insulate electronic components and cabinets. Thanks to its fire-retardant properties and high heat resistance, the material is also suitable for use in work areas and industries that require both heat resistance and fire safety.
In addition to its aforementioned qualities, Basotect is also excellent for cleaning purposes. The foam material acts as fine sandpaper, effortlessly removing stubborn stains from various hard surfaces. It is effective in cleaning whiteboards, removing black scuff marks from floors, or getting rid of pen and marker stains from tables and other hard surfaces.
At B6-industri, we have extensive experience in creating sound-absorbing solutions using melamine foam. We offer the foam in different variants, including Basotect G+, which is a light gray acoustic foam, Basotect B, a white acoustic foam, and Basotect W, a white foam used for cleaning different types of hard surfaces.
You can choose between whole sheets or custom-cut pieces according to precise measurements, with or without foil and adhesive.
If you are looking for an alternative material that can withstand moisture, we recommend exploring Wispercell or hygiene sound baffles, both of which also offer excellent acoustic properties.
