Open-cell aluminium foam sheet showing its porous metal structure

Product overview

What this product is

Aluminium foam combines a metallic skeleton with a porous structure. The catalogue separates open-cell and closed-cell forms and also shows coloured, sandwich, translucent and shaped options.

Potential uses include wall and ceiling surfaces, illuminated features, acoustic treatments and shock- or energy-absorbing parts. Values for fire, acoustic and mechanical behaviour are catalogue references, not a substitute for a test report covering the selected product build-up.

Specification highlights

  • Open-cell and closed-cell forms are available for different functional requirements.
  • Porous texture can be used visibly, coloured, shaped or combined in a sandwich panel.
  • The catalogue identifies sound, thermal, damping and electromagnetic-shielding uses.
  • Texture, brightness, transparency and opacity depend on the manufacturing route.
