Sorbermel® melamine foam

Sorbermel® is a flexible, light-weight, open-cell, light grey foam made from melamine resin. Highly flame retardant, and with excellent sound absorption and thermal insulation properties, Sorbermel® is dimensionally stable and stiffer than polyurethane foams. It is a favoured choice in weight-sensitive applications.
