NASA requires high end fire rated products for test cells
Mr. Oswald of NASA reached out to All Noise Control Soundproofing Materials for help in replacing deteriorated foam panels in a test cell used at NASA. The test cells used at NASA are exposed to all types of equipment, engines, and combustibles during testing. They required a quality foam panel with high fire ratings. All Noise Control knew that their Class 1 Fire Rated Melamine Foam Panels were ideal for such potentially volatile test environments in addition to being resistant to most organic solvents, alkalis, and diluted acids. The ANC Melamine Foam Panel, when exposed to high heat and open flame, Soundproofing Materials will simply melt without creating smoke. This offers a much safer and controlled foam test cell.
While NASA was happy with the performance of this product in this application, it’s often used commonly in schools and public buildings due to its Fire Class 1 Rating and safety properties.
