Acoustical foam provides
the most cost-effective approach to controlling interfering reflections
and noise. To optimize the performance and appearance of conventional
acoustical foam, RPG® patented an innovative profile design.
This new nestable profile utilizes a Variable Depth Air Cavity
(VDAC™) to strategically space most of the foam away from
the mounting surface for optimum absorption efficiency and economy.
By combining ProFoam™ and RPG®’s ProCorner™,
a complete acoustical foam room treatment system is possible.
This Studio In A Box Silver Package is now available at your local
dealer.
Problem
There are three aspects of conventional foam which can be optimized:
1. Conventional flat backed wedge and convoluted foams are applied
directly to the mounting surface, where the particle velocity
is zero. Since no absorption can occur when the particle velocity
is zero, a significant portion of solid foam is wasted.
2. To provide appropriate absorption coefficients, conventional
foam is sold in several thicknesses. If an application requires
additional absorption at a later date, the existing foam must
be removed and a panel of greater thickness applied.
3. Conventional foam has limited interior design application
because of its "industrial" appearance and potential
safety hazards.
Solution
To solve these problems, RPG® patented ProFoam™, the
first nestable, Variable Depth Air Cavity (VDAC™) foam.
ProFoam™ uses an innovative, attractive, and universal profile
to space most of the foam away from the surface for optimum absorption.
Since ProFoam™ is nestable, one size fits all applications.
Unlike conventional foam, additional absorption can be achieved
at a later date by simply adding additional nestable layers to
form a VDAC™ Stack. ProFoam’s™ unique attractive
shape allows it to be used as a design element. When formed from
fire safe Melaflex™, ProFoam™ can be used in all spaces
that require Class A interior finish treatment.
Absorption
VDAC™ technology provides minimum point of contact with
the mounting surface, thus enabling most of the foam to be positioned
away from the wall for optimum absorption. Unlike conventional
foams which are applied in a fixed thickness, additional absorption
can be achieved by simply stacking new layers on top of the existing
ProFoam™.
Installation
Installation of ProFoam™ is quick and easy. Simply apply
construction adhesive to the foam ridges that contact the mounting
surface. Hold ProFoam™ in place until the adhesive cures.
Melaflex™ ProFoam™ is fabricated from non fibrous,
fire resistant, open cell, lightweight (0.6 lb/cu. ft.) BASF melamine
foam. It is in full compliance with all National Life Safety Codes
for Class A interior use. Melaflex™ has a flame spread of
10 and a smoke development rating of 50 as per ASTM E-84 testing
standards. Therefore, Melaflex™ ProFoam™ can be used
in any critical listening space
Polyflex™ ProFoam™ is fabricated from a UL94 2 lb./cu.
ft. polyester urethane, which should only be used in Class B or
C spaces. Since Polyflex™ is flammable, extreme care should
be exercised in its use as an interior finish
