and Sound Control |

 |
Details:
Art-Mat acoustical foams are
designed to provide maximum absorption of airborne
sound with minimum thickness and weight. These
flexible polyurethane open cell foam products are
manufactured to optimize pore size, air flow
resistance, and density. Sound energy, passing
through the cell structure, is converted into minute
quantities of low grade heat that is easily
dissipated. Since the uniformity of the cells are
carefully controlled the efficiency is constant and
predictable from one installation to another. Many
applications require these products to be subjected
to environments such as dirt, moisture, chemicals,
and abrasion that could be hostile to an unprotected
foam. ArtUSA Industries has developed various
surface treatments to protect the integrity of the
foam from these elements. These facings will increase
the absorption properties at certain frequencies as
well as provide a cleanable, decorative and durable
finish for a wide variety of applications. Art-Mat
Foams can be purchased in rolls or sheets, and
can be die cut, or fabricated to customer
specifications. They are easily cut with a knife, saw
or scissors. The addition of pressure sensitive
adhesive provides a convenient method of fastening to
most substrates. All Art-Mat products can be
made in combination with Art-Composite barrier
systems when both absorption and transmission loss is
needed (see Art-Composite brochure), or VETM damping
systems, when enhanced vibration control is
required. |

Art-Mat Urethane Faced Foams
provide a colorful, durable,
abrasion and puncture resistant product. These
urethane films are heat laminated to form a
decorative textured surface and can be made
impervious to most petroleums, moisture, and dirt.
Matte facing can be added to our embossed foam to
give a more pronounced decorative rosette pattern.

the aesthetics of a sculpted design. These unique egg
crate pattern panels can be directly adhered to
reflective surfaces or can be used as hanging baffles

Art-Mat Densified Embossed
Foams are manufactured
by compression under high heat to form an
attractive textured pattern. This
increases the surface area, density and
stiffness of the foam for maximum sound
absorbtion. By densifying the surface a
thin skin is formed to give greater
abrasion and air velocity resistance. A
decorative urethane facing can be applied
(Type Deco-Foam CF) for enhanced
appearance and durability, and to make
the foam impervious to most liquids. Acousti-Mat Embossed Foams are
typically used in business equipment,
appliances, HVAC units and vehicle
headliners.

Art-Mat
is a lightweight, high
temperature resistant, open cell foam
manufactured from melamine resin. It
combines excellent thermal properties
with superior sound absorption
capabilities to create a versatile fiber
free product which can be applied in
situations which may prohibit the use of
urethane foams or fiberglass insulations.
This fire retardant foam meets the flame
spread, smoke density and fuel
contribution requirements necessary to
comply with Class-1 building code
regulations. The high performance thermal
and acoustical characteristics of this
flexible, low density foam make it an
ideal product for in-plant and FDA
approved applications. In addition to
being the solution to aircraft and
architectural noise problems, Art-Mat
Melamine Foam is the material to use in
OEM products requiring a combination of
thermal and acoustical insulation
capabilities. Optional facings can be
applied for more durability and chemical
resistance as well as pressure sensitive
adhesive for easy installation. |
