Architecturally sophisticated
Extensive options for improving acoustic requirements in interior design.
Soundtex –
the sound of silence
Building aesthetics, acoustic performance, cost efficiency - important parameters in modern architecture for perforated ceilings, walls and furniture. The Soundtex acoustic nonwoven ensures optimum sound absorption.
Works excellently –
with maximum design freedom
Sound absorption in offices, airports, train stations and public buildings must meet high standards. Above all, the effective reduction of reverberation time is the most important key figure in room acoustics and contributes to better speech intelligibility. Soundtex is also used in perforated or slotted partition walls and furniture. Soundtex provides you with a thin acoustic fleece that offers a range of economic and ecological advantages over other solutions and opens up great architectural design possibilities.
Individually tailored
Available in a variety of colors, it can be offered in rolls or cut to size according to customer requirements.
Tested & safe to use
Soundtex has been tested and met all major international standards for acoustics and fire behavior.
Production & cost efficiency
Individually pre-configurable for automated production processes. Minimized storage and transportation costs due to ultra-thin, flat shape and low volume.
The challenge –
modern architecture paired
with high acoustic performance
In addition to good design, a spacious and modern interior architecture requires a pleasant quality of stay, to which optimal acoustics contribute, among other things. Architects and designers today expect a high degree of flexibility in the design of panel shapes. Ideally, sound-absorbing solutions should provide economic and ecological advantages that are not available with other products on the market.
Soundtex –
outstanding in function and design
Soundtex is a thin acoustic nonwoven that enables interior linings to absorb sound. It is made from cellulose and glass fibers and is very homogeneous in terms of weight and thickness. Soundtex is applied directly to suspended, perforated panels made of wood, metal or plasterboard.
High level sound absorption
The evaluation was carried out in accordance with ISO 11654 with a weighted sound absorption coefficient of αw = 0.75 (L) in sound absorption class C. The noise reduction coefficient was NRC = 0.80, the sound absorption average SAA = 0.81, evaluated according to ASTM C423.
Increases heat transfer
The extremely thin material (thickness only 0.2 mm) increases the thermal performance of metal ceilings with integrated heating and/or cooling systems and also offers the best flexibility for HVAC designs in buildings.
Reduces maintenance
The air permeability of Soundtex reduces the risk of condensation forming behind the panels as there is a constant exchange of air in the room. The panels can be easily removed for quick maintenance.
Reduces health risks
Soundtex fibers are firmly bonded together, eliminating the respiratory risks typically associated with fine, loosely bonded fibers. Less waste is generated when replacing the ceiling due to the low volume of the product.

Sustainability included
Freudenberg Performance Materials is committed to the sustainability criteria of the European commission and UN conventions and operates according to the three principles of social, economic and ecological responsibility. Especially in the area of ecology, you as a user benefit from our resource protection and an actively organized circular economy. For example, we recycle our production waste and feed it back into our processes. In contrast to bulky insulation materials, Soundtex is characterized by its wafer-thin shape (approx. 0.2 mm) and its low grammage per unit area of approx. 63 gr /m2, which significantly simplify warehousing and reduces transport costs.
