What are the advantages of PET acoustic panel compared to Foam acoustic panel?

Compared with Foam Acoustic Panel, PET acoustic panel has obvious advantages in many aspects, including the following aspects:

1. Environmental protection and sustainability

PET sound absorbing board: Polyester fiber acoustic wall panels is usually made of recycled plastic bottles (PET material), so it is highly environmentally friendly. 

These panels are 100% recyclable, making them ideal for projects that require sustainability and green building

Foam sound-absorbing panels: Foam materials are usually made of polyurethane or other petrochemical based materials derived from fossil fuels, which are less environmentally friendly, not easy to recycle, and may adversely affect the environment when disposed of.

2. Durability and compression resistance

PET sound absorbing board: has excellent durability, strong structure, strong durability, can maintain a long time shape and sound absorption effect, not easy to damage.

 PET materials have better compression resistance and are suitable for use in high-traffic areas or places that require frequent contact

Foam sound absorption board: Foam board is fragile, easy to pressure or deformation, especially in high temperature or humid environment, the performance of foam materials will be affected, long-term use may lead to a decline in sound absorption performance.

3. Acoustic performance

PET acoustic panels soundproofing: The porous structure of polyester fiberboard enables it to effectively absorb mid - and low-frequency sound and provide a more comprehensive acoustic treatment without affecting high-frequency absorption. 

In addition, PET acoustic boards have excellent sound insulation and are ideal for use in meeting rooms, offices, theaters and other places that require a quiet environment

Foam sound absorbing board: Foam material has a good absorption effect for high-frequency sound, but the effect is poor when dealing with low-frequency noise, so foam board is more suitable for application in the environment with more high-frequency noise.

4. Appearance and decoration

PET panel: PET panel has a variety of colors and surface treatment, can be integrated into a variety of interior design styles, and can be cut into different shapes, decorative. 

Its fine texture can enhance the decorative effect through different surface designs

Foam sound-absorbing board: Although the foam board has a certain degree of decoration, it is usually a simple color and shape, the appearance is relatively single, and does not have too many aesthetic advantages.

5. Fire resistance

PET panel: PET panel usually has excellent fire performance, in line with a variety of international fire standards (such as B1 level), suitable for use in places with high fire protection requirements

Foam sound absorbing board: Most foam materials may burn at high temperatures, unless specially treated, otherwise the fire resistance is poor, limiting its application in some buildings.

6. Easy to maintain and install

PET sound-absorbing board: Due to its durable material, PET sound-absorbing board is easier to clean and maintain, easy to install, and not easy to accumulate dust or stain. 

Its material properties also make it antibacterial and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for public places

Foam sound-absorbing board: Foam board is relatively difficult to clean, prone to dust accumulation, and because of its soft material, may discolor or damage over time.

Sum up

polyester fiber acoustic panels has obvious advantages over foam sound-absorbing board in terms of environmental protection, durability, acoustic performance, decorative and fireproof performance. 

Therefore, the PET sound-absorbing panel is more suitable for occasions with higher requirements for environmental friendliness, permanence and appearance. 

The foam sound-absorbing board, because of its economic benefits, still has a certain market in some scenes with low requirements for beauty and durability.
