PolySorpt® Acoustic Panels
Accumulation of dust and dirt are best removed with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. Use vacuum attachments with a least 1″ soft brushes to avoid damage to panel. Water & cleaning solutions may be used on panel.
- Are the Polysorpt® Acoustic Panels mold and mildew resistant?
- Is this material fire-retardant?
- Can the PolySorpt®Acoustic Panels be painted without diminishing its sound reduction properties?
Yes, the PolySorpt® Acoustic Panels are mold and mildew resistant. Charcoal color may be utilized for outdoor applications where UV resistance is desired.
Yes, the PolySorpt® indoor/outdoor panels are fire retardant. They are Class-A fire rated.
It is best not to apply paint to the product. This will decrease the effectiveness of the material.
Product Description
Our PolySorpt® Acoustic Panels are fiber-free sound-absorbing panels for use in a range of applications to reduce ambient noise and excessive reverberation. They can be glued directly to any wall or ceiling using a water-based construction adhesive. These acoustical panels are offered in a standard flat surface pattern or a more decorative designer style, giving you multiple aesthetic options for your sound treatment. PolySorpt® is an excellent choice when a lightweight, cleanable, and water-resistant panel is desired.

Installation Method
Adhesive or Mechanical fasteners.
Note to all Installers: Polysorpt® is a thermal molded product and although tough to see, one side of the panel will have injection and mold release marks. These are circular marks that range in size and indent depth and denote the back side of the panel. Install these panels marks facing the wall or ceiling for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
Painting: PEPP may be painted with a very light coat of spray applied latex or fire-retardant paint without significantly altering acoustic performance.
