Industrial Sound Absorption for Reverberation Control
Kinetics S4 Sound Absorption Panels are highly efficient, tuned sound absorbers developed for low- and mid-frequency sound absorption. They are used where reflected airborne noise and reverberation must be reduced in demanding industrial, MEP, and equipment-related environments. Typical installation areas include walls, ceilings, machinery enclosures, engine shrouds, air compressor cabinets, mechanical equipment rooms, generator rooms, data centers, distribution centers, and industrial facilities.
Durable Wipeable Panel Construction
S4 panels are constructed with a 3 PCF fiberglass core, equivalent to 48 kg/m³, completely protected by an eight mil, 203.2 micron thick neoprene-coated, fiberglass-reinforced, aluminized polyester white or foil film facing. This sealed construction helps protect the fiberglass core while providing a cleanable surface suitable for equipment enclosures and industrial noise control applications.
Thicknesses, Sizes, and Acoustic Performance
S4 Sound Absorption Panels are available in 1 inch and 2 inch thicknesses, with panel sizes up to 48 inches x 120 inches, or die-cut shapes to meet specific application requirements. When tested in #4 mounting, direct application, the 1 inch S4 sound absorber is rated at NRC 0.75, while the 2 inch S4 panel is rated at NRC 0.94.
Built for Industrial and Mechanical Environments
The board-like absorber design provides good structural integrity and damage resistance. S4 panels can be used in temperatures from -65°F to 265°F, equivalent to -54°C to 129°C. The panels can be steam cleaned, include an oil-resistant fiberglass facing, and are designed to resist most conditions typically found inside machinery enclosures.
Installation Options for Project Coordination
S4 sound absorption panels support contractor-friendly installation using S4 brackets, clips, impaling pins, welded pins, cementing, edge clips, or batten strips. These installation methods make S4 suitable for retrofit noise control upgrades as well as new industrial acoustic design packages.
