PROFOAM

Fire Retardant Acoustic Foams

Open-cell, impregnated polyurethane foam for acoustical and thermal insulation.

PRONIL PROFOAM Fire Retardant Acoustic Foam

Fields of applications

Profoam is an open-cell polyurethane-based material impregnated with inorganic minerals produced for acoustic, thermal, water and dust insulation. Shows high performance in fire resistance tests. Profoam does not melt and flow under flame. It is not affected by the bacteria and does not contain them. It keeps its form during fire without changing shape. Its insulation properties against sound, heat, liquid and dust are higher than similar products. These products have been selected after many tests conducted in canopies by the companies. Acoustic performance of each product varies according to the size and shape of different canopies.

Practices to be performed

The back of the product is self-adhesive.

Product is provided in composite form with lead or polymeric barriers and damping plates.

  1. PU film (surface protective film): 35 (micron) polyurethane film, resistant to grease, water and lubricating. 
  2. PSA: Self-adhesive, resistant to up to 80°C. Networked Modified Acrylic.

Installation

Adhesive systems used in canopies.

1. Water-based/Solvent-based adhesives

Profoam products can be easily installed on any clean surface (concrete, plastic, wood, metal, plastic, etc.) by using a solvent-based glue. The sheets or rolls can be easily cut with a utility knife when required. Sheets can be bonded independently of each other or side by side for the best acoustic performance and a nice view.

2. Self-adhesive tapes

Self-adhesive tapes can be fixed at the back of the products. So, it becomes quick and easy to apply, it is also safe and there is no risk of inhalation of glue.

3. Non adhesive bracket
