Soundproofing Foams - Eggbox Foam

Eggbox foam

Double Sided Non Woven Tape designed for bonding to synthetic foams. Modified Acrylic adhesive with an integral (removable) release liner. The blue/green liner weight is 100gsm and offers easier removal. The product has high initial tack and good elevated temperature, plasticiser and shear resistance.

Liner Type: Blue/Green glassine

Physical Property method Specification Test
Adhesion to Pyrosorb-S 1000 N/m (Minimum) ATM.1-PSTC.1
Adhesion to Steel 1000 N/m (Minimum) ATM.1-PSTC.1
Adhesion to other substrates Available on request.  

Application

  • This is a pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • Pressure may be necessary to achieve a bond to the substrate.
  • The substrate should be clean, dry and free of grease and oil. The foam and tape should be dry.
  • Minimum product application temperature: + 10C
  • Optimum product application temperature: + 20C

Working Restrictions

  • Product must be kept dry in use.
  • Maximum Temperature - Unstressed: + 100C
  • Maximum Temperature - Stressed: + 80C
  • Maximum Life Capability: + 60C
  • Minimum Temperature: - 10C

Acoustic Performance

ASTM and BS EN 20354 (previously BS3638 : 1963) are both standard tests for measuring absorption co-efficients. ASTM C384 is a laboratory scale test measuring normal incidence co- efficients. Both methods give an indication of the potential performance of the material under the test. Whilst the latter reverberation room method may prove more relevant in most practical situations, neither test can predict overall performance in a real application.

PYROSORB-S is also available in a profiled form (also known as egg-box or convoluted). The acoustic absorption of these products is better than the equivalent flat thickness in the frequency range 250 to 1000 Hz

Thermal Properties

Test method: BS874 1973 and AMD3006 8/79. Guarded hot plate method.

Results: Thermal Conductivity: 0.048 - 0.051 Wm-1 K-1

Conditions

Thickness 26.0mm
Density 94.7 kgm3
Mean Cold Face Temp 0.0° C
Mean Hot Face Temp 24.0° C
Ambient RH 48 - 51 %
Ambient Temp 22 - 23° C

Thermal Conductance or Thermal Transmittance

From the above result we can calculate U Values :

12mm 4.17 Wm-2 K-1
25mm 1.92 Wm-2 K-1
50mm 1.00 Wm-2 K-1
