Tecnocell
Weighted sound absorption coefficient up to αw = 0.80
Ideal for air ducts and machine enclosures
Available in various thicknesses and sizes
Tecnocell combines open-cell polyurethane foam with a profiled top layer, increasing the surface area and enhancing sound absorption in the mid- and low-frequency range. The textured layer also provides a durable, decorative finish that reduces dust and dirt accumulation. Panels are available in thicknesses from 13 mm to 51 mm and in a standard size of 1,200 × 1,000 mm, making them versatile for a wide range of technical applications.
Depending on the thickness, Tecnocell panels offer a weighted sound absorption coefficient of αw = 0.40–0.60 for thinner variants, rising to 0.80 for thicker versions. The material has a density of 25 kg/m³, is temperature-resistant from –40 °C to +110 °C, and is flame-retardant, tested according to ISO 3795 with a vertical burn rate of less than 100 mm/min.
The profiled top layer is resistant to water, oil, and various cleaning products. For optimal performance, panels should be installed on a flat, dry surface and joints carefully finished.
Tecnocell is suitable for air handling units, ducts, machine and pump housings, and server cabinets, as well as other technical enclosures. It is particularly suited to industrial and mechanical engineering environments where sound absorption, durability, flame retardancy, and easy installation are required.

Answers to common questions
Merford can perform acoustic analyses or simulations to predict noise levels and reverberation times based on material selection, room dimensions, and finishes, ensuring the right solution is designed.
Our acoustic materials generally require minimal maintenance. Dusting and cleaning is usually sufficient to maintain long‑term performance.
- Vibration isolation reduces mechanical vibrations from machines or equipment, preventing transmission to the building structure or floor.
- Sound insulation prevents sound from passing from one space to another, e.g., between rooms or to the exterior.
- Sound absorption reduces echo and reverberation within a space by damping sound waves, improving comfort and speech intelligibility.
Merford materials can provide one or more of these effects depending on the product type, such as absorption panels for rooms or isolation around ventilation units.
