Acoustic Foams for Noise Control

Acoustic & Sound-proofing Foams for Noise Reduction & Absorption

Foam Conversion (UK) supply a wide range of technically engineered acoustic foams and damping foam products with excellent sound absorption properties that are ideally suited for noise control and soundproofing in various environments and applications.

Our Service - Acoustic Foam Product Development & Manufacture

Given a brief explanation of our customer's noise control requirements, such as the application environment and sound reduction goals, we can provide expert advice in the manufacture of acoustic and soundproofing foam products. Foam Conversion (UK) assists customers in the product development process, by recommending and sourcing the optimal acoustic materials, and providing the technical manufacturing support essential to achieving the desired level of acoustic performance.

Foam Conversion Techniques

Our technical staff have expertise in sound reduction foam techniques and in the acoustic properties of a wide range of soundproofing and damping materials. Acoustic foams, foam-based materials, and acoustic fabrics can be supplied with various optional front facings, finishes or backings.

Acoustic Composites

As a foam converter, we also manufacture multi-layered acoustic composites that have been specifically tailored to our customer's requirements. Heavy-layer acoustic barriers (including EVA and Vinyl-based barriers) can be integrated into multi-layered acoustic composites, and supplied with or without self-adhesive backing. Acoustic foam composites can be custom finished as die-cut parts, to within strict manufacturing tolerances. Die-cutting is the process of vertically cutting shaped parts from sheets of materials.

Profiled Acoustic Foam (In-House Manufacturing Capability)

Open cell acoustic foam generally exhibits excellent noise and sound absorption characteristics, and as such is widely used for sound-attenuation. Open-cell acoustic foam is commonly profiled to have an 'egg-box' (sometimes called 'egg-crate') type convoluted surface finish. Foam Conversion are able to offer customers custom-made foam surface profiles, using uniquely designed on-site profiling manufacturing equipment.

Acoustic Foam-based Materials Range

Foam Conversion UK offer a wide range of specialist noise reduction foams and acoustic materials including the following most popular acoustic foam-based products:
