Fire Performance
Acoustic panels using a Basotect™ G+ melamine foam core are supplied as composite products, consisting of a Basotect™ acoustic core combined with a fabric finish.
Core Material Fire Rating (EN 13501-1)
The reaction-to-fire performance of Basotect™ G+ depends on the material thickness.
Independent testing to EN 13501-1 confirms the following classifications:
- 5–15 mm: B-s1, d0
- 16–20 mm: C-s2, d0
- 21–80 mm: C-s2, d0
- 81–200 mm: C-s3, d0
This indicates controlled fire behaviour, with no flaming droplets (d0) across all tested thicknesses.
(Test reports are available on request.)
Fabric Fire Ratings
A range of fire-rated acoustic fabrics is available.
As standard, fabrics supplied meet a minimum Class B fire rating, with alternative fire-rated fabrics available on request.
Fabric fire test certification can be provided upon request.
Composite System – Important Information
The complete composite system (core + fabric) is not fire tested as standard, and no declared EN 13501-1 classification is claimed for the assembled product.
As with most acoustic composite products, the final reaction-to-fire performance depends on the core thickness, fabric type, adhesive system, fixing method, substrate, and air gap, and may differ from the individual component ratings.
Where a declared reaction-to-fire classification is required, testing of the complete composite system can be arranged on request, subject to scope, lead time, and cost.
