[labnetwork] sound absorbing wall panels

[Paolini, Steven]

I'm sorry to not be able to offer any particular product but I would be very concerned with the product's ability to resist flame spread as defined by the NFPA. At the risk of bringing up a gruesome event, The Station night club tragedy in Connecticut some years ago was exacerbated by the fact that the acoustical foam attached to the walls in the stage area was quite flammable. I would venture to say that Federal, State, and local ordinances have more than likely been modified to include a restriction on any acoustic foam that is flammable or does not resist flame spread.
  Thanks for listening.

Dear All,

We are looking for sound absorbing open cell foam wall panels for our JEOL 2100F STEM room.
Any recommendations for vendor and type.

Thanks, Esta
