CLASS 0 ACOUSTIC FOAM

ventilation lining sound absorption acoustic enclosures

CLASS 0 FOAM MAKING OUR ENVIRONMENT A QUIETER, SAFER PLACE.

Class 0 Foam is a highly modified, flexible, open celled polyurethane acoustic foam
offering excellent sound absorption characteristics, whilst meeting the test criteria
of some of the highest fire resistant testing standards and is now classified to
European standard EN 13501 B-s1,d0 along with BS476 pt6 & pt7 Class 0 &
UL94 V-O.
Class 0 Foam is a chemically inert product. It will not dust or migrate when
subjected to air movement, its flexibility offers easy application to curved or
complex surfaces and can be readily cut or pressed into a variety of desired
shapes, being
available in roll or sheet form. Various multi-functional substrates are available,
including self-adhesive backing, to further assist in the scope of application.
Class 0 Foam is used in many industries including heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC), marine acoustics, original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
and the building & construction industry.
Typical applications: internal lining of ventilation ductwork and equipment, sound
absorption, acoustic enclosures, generator and compressor enclosures, sound
absorbing panels, electrical equipment and acoustic room & floor treatments.

CLASS 0 ACOUSTIC FOAM

RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR USE OF SURFACE PREPARATION

SELF-ADHESIVE BACKED FOAM
Pressure sensitive self adhesive backings are popular because
of their ease of application. Carefully peel back the release
liner (as per Fig 1) and locate the self adhesive backed foam
sheet in place. The self adhesive backed foam versions should
not be relied upon as the only method of support when fixing
to concrete or other building materials in the horizontal or
vertical positions. Additional mechanical fixings should be
considered, such as large headed washers and supporting pins.
PREPARATION FOR USE OF CLASS 0 FOAM SELF
ADHESIVE BACKED FOAM.
PRECAUTIONS
It is essential that the work area is clean and free from dirt
and dust in the air and all surfaces must be grease free. It is
also essential to have a well-ventilated area. Ideal room
temperatures should be 18C to 20 C, and relative humidity
40% to 60% (the lower the humidity, the better the bond).
It is extremely important that all surfaces are thoroughly
cleaned and dried.
All cleaning agents should be tested prior to use to ensure
that ingredients used do not affect the bond.
PACKAGING AND STORAGE
The product should be protected against direct sunlight and
extremes in temperature (lowest acceptable temperatures
between 4C and 30C) and humidity and stored upright in
its original packaging. Once removed from its packaging it
should be protected against dust and other impurities.
Shelf life of this product is 1 year when stored in the correct
conditions.

If the Self Adhesive Backed Sheet is applied below the

recommended application temperatures, it loses tack/ bond
and adhesion will possibly fail. Typically, once the Self Adhesive
Backed Sheet is applied into position it is imperative to ensure
that all air bubbles are removed to maximise the bond.
