    Basotect

    Basotect is a high-quality melamine foam. This acoustic foam is an excellent choice for sound insulation and absorption in various sectors such as construction, transport, and the furniture industry. Thanks to its unique properties, this material offers a versatile solution for acoustic and thermal challenges.

    What is Basotect?

    Basotect is a foam made from melamine resin, a thermosetting plastic. The open cell structure of the foam allows air to circulate freely, contributing to excellent sound absorption and thermal insulation. Moreover, it is lightweight, making it easy to handle and applicable in various industries. 

    The properties of melamine foam

    Melamine foam is distinguished by the following properties:

    Sound absorption

    Reduces noise and improves the acoustics in spaces such as offices, classrooms, and hospitality venues.

    Fire safety

    Meets DIN 4102 class B1 and remains stable up to a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. Minimal smoke development makes it suitable for environments with strict safety standards.

    Lightweight

    With only 12 kg/m³, it is easy to handle and install.

    Thermal insulation

    Keeps heat in and improves energy management in buildings.

    Applications of Basotect melamine foam

    Basotect melamine foam is ideal for spaces where speech intelligibility is essential, such as: 

    • Construction and industrial environments 
    • Office buildings and meeting rooms 
    • Audio studios   
    • Schools and universities 
    • Gyms and sports facilities 
    • Concert halls and hospitality venues 

    In addition, this acoustic foam is widely used in hospitals, manufacturing environments, and other locations with high safety requirements due to its fire safety properties.
