Basotect® is a flexible, open cell foam made from melamine resin, a thermoset polymer. The outstanding properties of Basotect are its high sound-absorption capacity, flame-retardant characteristics, high-temperature resistance, low weight and thermal insulation. Basotect is used in a variety of applications and industries (i.e. building & construction, automotive, aviation, railway, industry and consumer i.e. cleaning) due to its excellent properties. Basotect can be installed quickly and simply since it is lightweight and free of mineral fibers.
