Performance

Long-Lasting Performance
While QUASH™ foams exhibit outstanding sound absorption from day one, the true benefit is evident over time.

They perform at original specified levels under extreme temperature and moisture conditions.
Common sound absorption materials, such as open-cell foams, fiberglass, mineral wool or shoddy cotton, will deteriorate over time, losing their sound absorbing qualities and structural integrity — especially in the presence of moisture. This breakdown adds up to installation, maintenance, repair and downtime costs.

Real life examples of moisture issues with conventional materials.

QUASH foams are easy to work with.
Their high mechanical strength makes them easy to fabricate into complex shapes and dimensions, and simple to install.

They can be cut, skived, laminated or profiled, and do not release dust, as they are mineral fiber-free.
They are also lightweight, washable, and can be mechanically fastened to metal or wood.

Washed with a water jet without deteriorating
QUASH products can be washed with a water
jet without deteriorating.
