For better health protection: Basotect® as acoustic damping in production facilities and factory halls
BASF's specialty foam Basotect® G+ is now being used for acoustic damping at the BMW Group's site in Leipzig, Germany. The sound-absorbing melamine resin foam has been installed on the walls and ceilings of a preparation area in the body paint shop, creating a quieter working environment. Basotect® was chosen in the production facility because it offers outstanding sound absorption, meets fire protection requirements and passed the paint compatibility tests. Classified as flame retardant (B1) in line with DIN 4102-1, the material is easy to install and cost-effective to maintain. The color of the light gray Basotect® G+ makes it less susceptible to dirt – ideal for soundproofing applications in industrial production.
