Kinetics PA fiberglass board sound absorbers are effective in controlling reflective airborne noise in high temperature environments when direct attached to the interior of the equipment enclosures.
Kinetics PA Fiberglass Absorbers are molded 4' x 8'(1.2 m x 2.4 m) fiberglass boards which are designed to provide sound absorption over a broad frequency range. Model PA Absorbers can be glued, attached with nails or "stick pins", or supported by a framework and are available unfaced or faced in 1" (25 mm) thickness.
The unfaced absorber, PA 410 GO, exhibits very good absorption at mid and high frequencies, but may exhibit dusting and some deterioration if foreign objects come into contact with the surface.
The faced absorber, PA 410 GB, exhibits very good absorption at low and mid frequencies. The protective facing, however, allows use in a wide variety of applications with minimum risk of damage or moisture absorption.
Facing on PA 410 GB is rated Class 1, and can be used in applications up to 450°F (232°C).
Kinetics PA sound absorbers are recommended for direct attachment to the interior of noisy equipment enclosures. They are effective in controlling reflective airborne noise in a high temperature environment.
For applications where airborne dust, dirt, or oil are present, it is suggested that the model PA 410 GB be used in order to protect the fiberglass core from contamination.
