What is Melamine?

Expanded melamine is an insulating material made from melamine resin, known for its exceptional acoustic absorption and thermal insulation properties.

It is a flexible, open-cell foam, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in both industrial and construction fields.

Key characteristics

High fire resistance

It is classified as self-extinguishing, meeting standards like DIN 4102 (class B1), which means it is not easily flammable and does not release toxic gases during combustion.

Excellent thermal insulation

With a thermal conductivity of about 0.035 W/mK, melamine can withstand temperatures up to 240°C, making it suitable for applications requiring thermal insulation under extreme conditions.

Lightweight

Thanks to its light weight (with a density of about 11 kg/m³), it is easy to install and handle, reducing transportation costs and simplifying application in various contexts.

Optimal sound absorption

Its open-cell structure makes it particularly suitable for acoustic insulation in industrial, construction, and transport environments where noise control is essential.
