HPC is a high-performance coating that is applied to acoustical melamine foam base. Our exclusive water based HPC formulation improves durability and protects the acoustical foam from dust and dirt, allowing the surface to be cleaned using a damp cloth. The HPC coating is especially appropriate for use high-traffic areas. HPC Premium extends the HPC coating further by offering a line of brilliant colors from which to choose.
Custom HPC colors are available. Popular paint brands may be combined with our exclusive HPC formulation to produce unique designs for any project.
To produce an order for custom HPC colors, please be aware of the following.
Customers with an order for custom HPC colors will receive a sample to approve prior to producing the order.
Product Description
The Sonex® Rondo Sound Baffle offers design versatility and excellent sound absorption across all frequencies—preventing noise build-up that interferes with speech intelligibility. Sonex Rondo® Baffles are made from a foam core, which is Class 1 fire-rated according to ASTM E84 for flame spread and smoke density. The acoustical foam core also meets the corner burn test UL 1715.These Sonex® Rondo Baffles are available in lengths up to 24″ with 6″ or custom diameters.
Rondo baffles are lightweight and easy to install. Suspend these ceiling baffles vertically or horizontally using 1.5″ corkscrew hangers & cable (Sold Separately). The corkscrew hangers pierce and screw into the back of the foam baffle to provide an attachment point for wire or cable. Appropriate hardware to mount cables or wire to your ceiling may be purchased locally or provided by your installer. Our Whisperwave® products are available in natural grey, natural white or may be HPC Coated to add color and additional protection (see HPC color chart.)
Rondo Baffles are great for use in large reception areas, multipurpose rooms, swimming pools and aquatic centers, manufacturing facilities and other large spaces.

Installation Method
- Install corkscrew hangers (Sold Separately) in the field for ceiling-mounted cable installation (cable and cable mounts may be provided by installer)
- Avoid hanging baffles more than 10 feet below the ceiling. Long tethering will cause them to sway in air currents.
- Installation is best done at the end of the construction project.
- Use clean gloves to prevent soiling material.
- Melamine foam is fragile, please handle with care.
- Do not install material of unacceptable quality.
