Choosing the right sound-absorbing material depends on various factors, including Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), fire rating, temperature tolerance, and long-term durability. Below is a comparative overview of commonly used acoustic materials and how YADINA Melamine Foam excels in these key parameters.

Typical Applications |
| Mineral Wool | 0.70 – 0.90 | 40 – 100 | Non-combustible (Class A) | Up to 750°C | Low to Moderate | Good if kept dry | Insulation behind walls, ceiling cavities |
| Fiberglass | 0.70 – 0.90 | 32 – 96 | Non-combustible (Class A) | Up to 450°C | Low to Moderate | Good if sealed; fibers may degrade over time | Insulation panels, acoustic baffles |
| Polyurethane Foam | 0.60 – 0.80 | 16 – 30 | Flammable unless treated | Up to 120°C | Moderate | Can degrade; less robust over long term | Studio foam panels, packaging, basic sound dampening |
| Fabric-Wrapped Panels | 0.70 – 0.90* | Varies by core (e.g., 40 – 80) | Depends on fabric & core (may need fire treatment) | Up to 200°C (core-dependent) | Low to Moderate | Fabric can stain or wear; depends on core | Decorative office panels, theaters, multi-purpose halls |
| YADINA Melamine Foam | Up to 0.95 | 6 – 12 | Meets EN13501, ASTM E84, etc. | Up to 240°C | Good (hydrophobic structure) | Excellent; long-term stable, resists moisture & deformation, not prone to degradation | Offices, homes, industrial enclosures, professional studios |
*Fabric-Wrapped Panels’ NRC depends heavily on the density and thickness of the core material used.
Key Observations & Advantages of YADINA Melamine Foam
- 1. Highest Noise Reduction Coefficient
While mineral wool, fiberglass, and fabric-wrapped panels can achieve an NRC up to 0.90, YADINA Melamine Foam can reach 0.95, providing superior sound absorption across a broader frequency range. - 2. Superior Fire Safety
Mineral wool and fiberglass are generally non-combustible, but polyurethane foam typically needs special treatment to meet fire safety standards. YADINA Melamine Foam is formulated to meet or exceed EN13501 and ASTM E84 requirements, offering reliable fire resistance in a wide range of environments. - 3. Lower Density, Easier Installation
At 7 – 17 kg/m³, YADINA Melamine Foam is significantly lighter than mineral wool and fiberglass. This makes transportation, handling, and installation simpler, without sacrificing performance. - 4. Excellent Moisture Resistance & Durability
Unlike mineral wool and fiberglass, which can lose effectiveness if they become wet, YADINA Melamine Foam has a hydrophobic structure that maintains its acoustic properties over time. It resists deformation, making it ideal for environments with varying humidity levels. - 5. Custom Sizes and Colors
YADINA Melamine Foam can be tailored to your project’s specific needs—both in dimensions and appearance—ensuring seamless integration with interior design and acoustic requirements.
