Whether you’re insulating a domestic recording studio or improving acoustic control in an industrial facility, our class 0 acoustic foam offers effective, compliant, and customisable soundproofing.
 

What Is Acoustic Foam and How Does It Work?

Acoustic foam is an open-cell material designed to absorb sound waves by converting sound energy into heat. Unlike sound-blocking materials that reflect noise, acoustic foam traps and diffuses it.

Rocon’s class 0 acoustic foam is manufactured with a unique cellular structure that maximises absorption across mid-to-high frequency ranges. It’s ideal for minimising echo, reverberation, and airborne sound transmission across a variety of sectors.

Absorbing vs Blocking: Know Your Application

1. Absorbing vs Blocking: Know Your Application

• Blocking is used to stop sound from entering or leaving a room.
• Absorbing is used to reduce echo and improve sound clarity within a space.

2. Rocon’s acoustic foam is designed for absorption, making it ideal for:

• Recording studios.
• Machinery enclosures.
• Offices and boardrooms.
