ARKETA-WR (Base Material) Water-Resistant PET Felt Acoustic Panel

In the realm of noise control, acoustic panels play a pivotal role. Whether mitigating construction-related clamor or taming the disruptive hum of a generator, these panels offer solace, protection, and tranquility. However, a challenge persists: many acoustic panels despite their sound-absorbing prowess also exhibit an affinity for water and moisture. This dual nature poses several issues:

Enhancing Acoustic Panels with Water-Resistant Properties

1. Weight Dilemma:
When water infiltrates acoustic panels, their
weight increases beyond design specifications.
Imagine a featherbed suddenly laden with
raindrops—it loses its buoyancy. Similarly,
water-logged panels compromise their intended
functionality.

2. Acoustic Erosion:
Moisture infiltrates the very fabric of acoustic
performance. Sound waves, once absorbed with
precision, now encounter dampened resistance.
The symphony falters.

3. Mold and Mildew Intrusion:
Moist environments foster unwelcome guests:
mold and mildew. These spores thrive, silently
undermining panel integrity. The result? A
discordant note in the harmony of design.

4. Lingering Moisture:
Evaporation, like a tardy guest, takes days. By
the time it departs, irreversible damage may
have occurred—a stain on the canvas of acoustic
excellence.
