With the rapid development of human society, people have more and more material and spiritual needs, and pursue the ultimate comfortable home environment. So people buy high-end stereos, hoping to enjoy music at home; buy projectors, hoping to watch movies in bed; buy treadmills, hoping to exercise without leaving home. As people move more and more facilities into their homes, it inevitably creates the biggest problem – noise. So, a “noise” defensive battle started.

Aluminum Foam

At present, common sound-absorbing and noise-reducing materials on the market include polyester fiber, glass wool, polyurethane foam, and foam metal materials. As the most cost-effective and performance-friendly aluminum foam material in its class, its comprehensive sound insulation and noise reduction capabilities are 7-10 times that of polyurethane foam, glass fiber, and honeycomb aluminum. When applied to high-speed trains and automobile panels, the sound insulation is close to 30dB. According to the test data, the sound insulation level of ordinary sound screens can only be reduced by 5dB, and the foam aluminum material can be reduced by 10-20dB. According to the test, it is shown that:

Material Specification Noise Reduction Factor/Amount of Sound Insulation
Polyurethane foam 35mm thick Noise reduction coefficient is 0.85NRC 
Polyurethane foam 35mm thick Sound insulation is 23dB
Aluminum foam material 20mm thick Noise reduction coefficient is 0.9NRC
Aluminum foam material 20mm thick Sound insulation is 30dB

With the development of aluminum foam industrialization, aluminum foam is used in more and more fields due to its superior sound absorption and noise reduction and related properties, such as road sound barriers, road tunnel noise reduction, submarine tunnel noise reduction, and tunnel vents; Sound-absorbing walls of swimming pools; interior decoration of entertainment venues;foam aluminum sound insulation floors; foam aluminum production of trucks, passenger cars and car mufflers; foam aluminum production of building sound-absorbing linings, such as recording studios, dubbing rooms, concert halls, conference halls, Sports venues and other fields, have excellent performance.
