Name: SONEX Mini
Brand: variable
Availability: InStock

Made from exclusive willtec® foam, SONEX Mini panels are a safety-minded choice for use in machine enclosures and other confined spaces. Willtec foam is Class 1 fire-rated according to ASTM E 84 for flame spread and smoke density. It can withstand constant temperatures above 300° Fahrenheit, and will char, but not ignite, at temperatures above 1100° Fahrenheit. willtec natural meets the corner burn test UL1715.

Featuring the smallest take on the classic SONEX anechoic wedge pattern, SONEX Mini panels are an exceptional budget choice for noise attenuation. With a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ranging from 0.50 to 0.65, these open-cell willtec foam panels convert sound energy into quiet, kinetic energy.

SONEX Mini panels are available in natural or water-based HPC coating, are easy to install on any wall and/or enclosure surface with acouSTIC water-based adhesive.

Product Information

Size

Panel size of 24″ x 48″
Typical thickness: 1″ or 1.5″ thickness

Applications

Machine enclosures and print shops
Other applications requiring thinner panels

Material

Made from open-cell, natural light grey or white WILLTEC® expanded melamine foam
Standard water-based acoustic coating color options in arctic white, ivory, beige, light blue, light, medium or dark grey, black and other premium or custom options are available

Direct-Apply, Glue-up Installation

Use clean, thin, white cotton gloves to handle panels
Cut acouSTIC™ adhesive cartridge tip to produce ¼ inch (6.4 mm)-diameter bead
Run a continuous bead of adhesive around the panel’s perimeter, approximately 1.5 inch (38 mm) from edges, then apply intermittent beads from opposite corners through the center of the panel creating an X
Press panel firmly into place and smooth evenly across it to ensure a strong, lasting bond; adhesive tack should be immediate

Installation

acouSTIC adhesive (part number PA-02) has been specially formulated to use with all SONEX®, WILLTEC®, CONTOUR®, WHISPERWAVE panel products, PROSPEC® Foams and Composites. This nontoxic, practically odorless, water-based adhesive makes direct-apply, glue-up installation work quick and easy. acouSTIC adhesive provides an immediate tack between panels and most substrates making for strong, permanent bonds. Other adhesives may not be compatible and may emit an odor.

Features

Nontoxic, water-based adhesive.
Easy cleanup with soap and water.
Compatible with both polyurethane and WILLTEC foams.
Each 10.3-ounce (304.61 ml) tube installs between 16 and 24 square feet (1.49 and 2.23 square meters) panel coverage.
Tube fits standard caulking guns.

General Installation Notes

Handle with care. Do not pick up or handle panels by the corners.
Store panel boxes flat in clean, dry areas protected from the elements; excessive heat, cold and humidity.
Do not set or stack anything on top of cartons.
Work panels with clean hands, tools, ladders, etc. on clean work surfaces. Wear clean, soft white cotton gloves to handle panel installation, recommended.
Super sharp, stainless steel smooth long-blade insulation knives are ideal for making straight cuts, slicing through thick WILLTEC and SONEX panels. Shorter-length utility and extendable snap-off blade knives are best suited for making smaller detail cuts.
For best results, cut panels through ‘exposed-to-view’ panel faces.

Installation with acouSTIC

Make certain that substrate surfaces to which panels will be applied are smooth, clean and level; free of dust, dirt and other residues or contaminants which could inhibit a strong bond to develop.
Cut adhesive tube tips back to produce a bead flow of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) diameter.
Run a continuous bead of adhesive around the panel’s perimeter, approximately 1.5 inch (38 mm) from edges, then apply intermittent beads from opposite corners through the center of the panel creating an X.
Press panels firmly into place and smooth evenly across them to ensure a strong, lasting bond; adhesive tack should be immediate.

General Characteristics

General tolerances & dimensions stability

Thickness:
– Up to 2” – tolerances of +/- 2 MM = +/- 0.08”
– Above 2” – tolerances of +/- 3 MM = +/-1/8”

Length & width:
– Up to 24” tolerance of +/- 3 MM = 1/8”
– Up to 96” tolerance of +/- 6 MM = 1/4”

Sonex convolution (sonex one / valueline / classic / mini / junior):
– Pattern alignment to edge: +/-1”

Due to the nature of willtec material, temperature and humidity may cause dimensional changes of up to 4% by volume.
