soni PROTECT
Color: white | Edges: without beveled edges | Rear face: not self-adhesive (nk) | Thickness: 30 mm
Out soni PROTECT noise absorber is made from an open-cell melamine foam (Basotect®) with outstanding sound-absorption capacity. Use soni PROTECT to significantly improve the acoustic conditions in interior spaces. With soni PROTECT acoustic panels fixed to ceilings and walls, your room will be much less reverberant.  soni PROTECT has been tested successfully according to European as well as German fire safety standards and can therefore be used wherever you need to reduce the noise level with materials that meet strict fire safety regulations. What is more, soni PROTECT is aging-resistant, free of mineral fibers and physiologically perfectly safe. All in all, an absolute classic for optimizing acoustics conditions in buildings. For edge-to-edge installation we recommend using soni PROTECT F. It consists of the same material as soni PROTECT, but has beveled edges all around, which make for very neat joints and an attractive surface design while actually helping conceal any uneven patches in the ceiling or wall surface. Please note: We do not recommend soni PROTECT for use on wall areas that are liable to be hit or touched, as the sound insulation panels are sensitive to mechanical stress. soni PROTECT and soni PROTECT F can easily be cut to the desired size with a carpet knife. For fixing the absorber panels on the wall or ceiling we recommend our soni SPECIAL ADHESIVE. Basotect® is a registered trade mark of BASF SE.

soni TRAPEZ
Color: white
soni TRAPEZ is a trapezoidal sound-insulation element made of open-cell melamine foam (Basotect®) with exceptional sound-absorption properties. Mounted on the ceiling, soni TRAPEZ elements effectively absorb noise and reduce the reverberation level in interior spaces. soni TRAPEZ meets the fire safety standards relevant for the construction industry and has successfully passed the B1 test according to DIN 4102. Hence you can use soni TRAPEZ as a functional and decorative ceiling element wherever you need to reduce the noise level with materials that meet strict fire safety regulations. The trapeze-shaped acoustic baffels are highly resistant to aging, free of mineral fibers and physiologically safe. Especially on ceilings where crane rails, air ducts or lamps make it difficult to install sound-insulation panels across a large area, soni TRAPEZ is suitable thanks to its compact shape and can be easily adapted to any special structural conditions. For direct ceiling fixation of the absorber elements we recommend our soni SPECIAL ADHESIVE. For all cases where the elements cannot or shall not be glued to the surface, our foam spirals can be used as a practical alternative for suspension from the ceiling. Basotect® is a registered trade mark of BASF SE.

The advantages of Basotect®


Sound absorbers made of melamine resin foam score with excellent sound absorption and good thermal insulation properties. They are free of mineral fibers and physiologically safe.

Since melamine foam sound absorbers are flame-retardant , they are often used in public buildings. But also in factories and production halls, soundproofing products made from melamine resin will effectively reduce noise levels. They can be installed on the ceiling between crane tracks, lamps or ventilation ducts, for example.

soniflex soundproofing products on melamine basis can be adapted very easily to specific building layouts and requirements.  

Uses of Basotect®

Melamine foam is suitable for sound conditioning measures in schools, kindergartens, daycare centers, offices, call centers, living rooms, stairwells, restaurants, bars, doctors' offices, production and factory halls and many other areas. Melamine foam products are also excellent for improving the acoustic conditions in your meeting room and indoor facilities. In addition to their noise-damping effectivity, absorbers made of Basotect® also offer good thermal insulation properties.


The properties of Basotect® 

The open-cell surface of Basotect® ensures that sound waves are no longer reflected reverberation), but absorbed, which significantly improves the acoustics in the room. The sound waves penetrate straight into the cell structure, where their energy is converted into heat and the noise is thus attenuated. This mechanism provides melamine foam soundproofing products with a unique noise absorption capacity.

Thanks to their densely cross-linked structure, melamine foam is resistant to many organic solvents (e.g. white spirit). However, resistance to specific acids and alkalis should always be tested individually. Soundproofing products made of Basotect® meet the current and most important European fire safety standards for the construction sector, hence they are suitable for installation in public buildings.

1. What advantages does Basotect® offer over other acoustic foams?

Basotect® is lightweight, non-yellowing, flame-retardant and offers excellent sound absorption properties. It is also self-supporting, resistant to UV rays and does not react with air. This makes the material durable and ensures that it will keep its original appearance.

2. Can I cut Basotect® products to size?

Basotect® foam panels can be easily cut with a cutter knife to the size and dimensions required for your specific application. This enables flexible adaptation to the individual spatial and visual requirements.

3. How can I maximize the effectiveness of my sound absorption measure based on Basotect®?

To achieve the best possible sound absorption, the panels should be distributed evenly throughout the room. Smooth foams serve for broadband absorption, while profiled options can be used for the attenuation of specific frequencies.

4. How many Basotect® foam panels do I need for my room?

The number of panels required depends on the size of the room and how strong a sound absorption effect is desired. We recommend covering 30 - 50% of the ceiling and/or wall surface with acoustic foam for an optimum effect.

5. Is Basotect® foam suitable for use in public buildings?

Basotect® meets strict fire protection requirements (DIN 4102 B1). This makes the material ideal for use in public buildings such as schools, kindergartens and restaurants.

6. Can I install Basotect® foam products myself?

Installation is simple and can be carried out using standard household tools. Our products are expressly designed for easy installation without professional help.

Installation

On request, nearly all our products can be delivered with self-adhesive rear faces, enabling easy, clean and time-saving installation – perfect for retrofit applications in rooms that are already in use.

Noise control

Thanks to their open-cell structure, our noise protection materials absorb sound waves and effectively attenuate bothering noise. A satisfactory result can already be achieved by lining 30 to 50 % of the ceiling and wall surfaces.

Fire protection

Many of our noise-control products are classified as flame-retardant according to DIN 4102 or DIN EN 13501. Please contact your local authorities in advance for information about the required fire protection class.
