Sorberzero

Versatile acoustic foam for various applications

Fire retardant, high-density acoustic and thermal foam

Sorberzero is the next generation of combustion-modified, flexible acoustic foams, impregnated with flame-retardant minerals for high levels of fire resistance. It has been developed to meet market requirements in the rail, marine, automotive and construction industries.

Sorberzero is a high-density acoustic foam engineered to offer efficient noise absorption, control noise transfer and achieve high fire ratings to international standards. It’s self-extinguishing, non-toxic and has a broad operating temperature range. This versatile, acoustic and thermal insulation foam is suited to varied applications, including use as absorptive panels, internal and external duct linings, machine coverings and more importantly, in demanding applications where fire and heat resistance along with good sound absorption properties are required.

Sorberzero can be effectively used as a composite constituent with acoustic barrier materials, such as Pyrotek’s range of Wavebar products, to construct variants of Pyrotek’s range of Sorberbarrier and Soundlag composites, for acoustic floor treatments and lagging.

Sorberzero offers an alternative to traditional polyurethane foams that degrade under hot, humid and acidic conditions, and mineral fibre products that tend to shed fibres during application and also lose thickness over a period of time. Fibrous products, if not encapsulated,
can be deemed a health hazard. In addition, their loss of dimensional stability leads to reduced noise absorption performance. Sorberzero eliminates these hazards and offers a safer, efficient alternative.

Sorberzero is flexible and easy to handle, cut and install, offered with or without self-adhesive backing. It’s available either plain un-faced, or with various facings and fire-rated surface coverings.
