PUR Foam VIKAFOAM
Product description
VIKAFOAM is a cellular elastomer, manufactured from a

special type of polyether urethane elastomer. The product
is used in mechanical industries and in construction as
vibration insulation. Floating floors are constructed of
VIKAFOAM and concrete or wood, which together provide
particularly effective noise attenuation and vibration
insulation. The system can be used for projects large and
small and it is very flexible.
Application
VIKAFOAM is often used as a structural soundproofing

material in buildings, either beneath individual building
components or to separate entire buildings from their
foundations.
Attenuation
The VIKAFOAM material has a uniform and well-defined

attenuation capacity. Internal attenuation for VIKAFOAM is
determined by the mechanical loss factor. For VIKAFOAM,
this value is between 0.1 to 0.3, depending on the density.
Fire performance
VIKAFOAM has been tested in accordance with DIN 4102

and achieved a B2 fire rating (normal combustibility). No
corrosive/caustic fumes occur in the event of a fire. In its
composition, VIKAFOAM should be considered the same as
wood and mineral wool.
Resistance to weather and chemicals
VIKAFOAM is resistant to substances such as water,

concrete, oil, grease, diluted acids and alkalis.

without damage to the material. than half the height that other materials need to achieve the
same natural frequency.
Application
Installation
We typically use VIKACELL 400 for floating floors where
acoustic insulation requirements are high. The material can VIKACELL is typically used as blocks that are customized

as an absorber in the suspension system, so it can handle
long-duration dynamic loading.
Attenuation
The transmission of structure-borne noise with low

frequencies through a floating floor can be attenuated
effectively by designing the floating floor to have a very low
natural frequency.

Product description
Acoustic insulation for wall bottom rails. Wall tape is self-

adhesive on one side and is made of SBR fibres and granular
rubber. Wall tape provides good structure-borne noise
insulation despite being relatively thin.
Application
Wall tape is used as a structural soundproofing material

under plaster walls in buildings. Wall tape acoustically
separates plaster wall bottom rails from the floor. Wall tape
is affixed under the bottom rail of plaster walls.
Fire performance
Wall tape has a B2 fire rating according to DIN 4102.
