    Basotect melamine foam is a lightweight, fire-resistant, and sound-absorbing material. In addition to its sound-absorbing properties, the material has good thermal insulation value and is resistant to high temperatures. The material complies with fire class EN 13501-1 C, s2, d0 & B1 according to DIN 4102.

    Basotect is used as a sound-absorbing and/or thermal insulating material in vehicles, machine enclosures, and in appliances and machines where the combination of good insulating properties, fire behaviour, and low weight is important. Additionally, the material is also used for acoustic solutions in spaces. Basotect melamine foam is produced in Europe. The standard panels measure 1200 x 600 mm in thicknesses of 30 and 50 mm and are available in white and light grey. Besides standard sizes, customised options are available on request.

    Finish

    Basotect melamine foam is sensitive to  changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause the material to expand or contract. We recommend acclimatising the panels in the space where they will be used for at least three days before installation.

    For visual applications where multiple panels are placed side by side, we recommend the Basotect Edge variant. Because the material is sensitive to shrinkage and expansion, the finished edges of this variant provide a sleek and neat appearance.

    Melamine foam is a delicate material that is susceptible to damage and contamination. During installation, we recommend wearing disposable gloves.

    Are you looking for a more robust alternative? Then choose Fireseal HR. Thanks to the fibreglass top layer, this material is impact-resistant and more resistant to dirt.

    Basotect melamine foam is easy to glue with a Stauf | MKD Extreme Tack adhesive. Make sure the substrate is clean, dry, and grease-free.

    The material is also easy to cut to size with a sharp (Stanley) knife.

    Fire safety

    This product has a B1-class certification according to the DIN 4102 standard and maintains its stability up to a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius.

    Tolerances

    Under the influence of humidity, the material can shrink or expand by approximately 5%.

    It is possible that cavities and unevenness occur in the foam.

    FAQ

    What is the difference between Basotect Melamine Foam Flat and Basotect Melamine Foam Edge?

    Basotect Melamine Foam Flat has straight edges and is often used as loose panels in a variety of acoustic applications. This variant is especially suitable for situations where functional acoustic improvement is the main focus and the panels do not need to be mounted flush.

    Basotect melamine foam Edge features angled finished edges, making seams less visible during flush mounting and giving the final result a cleaner appearance, especially in visible applications.

    What is the difference between Basotect melamine foam and standard melamine foams?

    Basotect melamine foam is distinguished by extensive testing of its acoustic properties. This makes the acoustic performance demonstrable and reliable.

    What type of sound problems is Basotect Melamine foam Flat suitable for?

    Basotect Melamine Foam Flat is suitable for absorbing sound reflections, such as reverberation in spaces and reflections of machine noise in enclosures. The material is used to reduce reverberation and improve speech intelligibility, but also to effectively reduce disruptive machine noises in industrial environments.

    Can Basotect melamine foam be used flat in damp areas?

    No. Basotect melamine foam panel is not suitable for use in damp environments. For damp environments, we recommend EASYwhisper | Indoor for indoor applications and EASYwhisper | Outdoor for outdoor applications.

    Does Basotect Melamine Foam Flat meet the fire safety requirements for public spaces?

    Yes, Basotect Melamine Foam can be directly attached to the structural component.

    What is the weight of a sheet of Basotect?

    Basotect melamine foam has a density of approximately 18 kg/m³. The panels have a standard size of 120 × 60 cm.

    This means:

    • 30 mm thickness: approximately 400 grams per sheet
    • 50 mm thickness: approximately 650 grams per sheet

    Thanks to its lightweight design, the material is easy to handle and install, even when mounting on a wall or ceiling.

    Can Basotect melamine foam sheet be glued onto different substrates?

    Yes. Basotect melamine foam sheet can be glued onto various surfaces. Stauf MKD Extreme Tack mounting glue is ideally suited for this purpose, provided the surface is clean, dry, and grease-free.

    Is mechanical fastening possible with Basotect Melamine Foam Panel?

    No. Mechanical fixing is not recommended, as it may cause the material to be damaged more quickly. We advise to glue Basotect melamine foam Vlak for a durable and neat installation.

    What is the lifespan of Basotect melamine foam sheet under normal use?

    The lifespan of Basotect Melamine Foam Panel depends on the conditions in which the material is used. When it is properly installed and used under normal conditions, you can expect a minimum lifespan of approximately 10 years.
