A Comparative Analysis of Basotect® EcoBalanced and SINOYQX Recycled Melamine Foam
- Product Overview
- Basotect® EcoBalanced (BASF):
The world’s first melamine foam with an ultra-low Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of only 9 kg/m³, 50% lower than standard grades. Its eco-advantages are achieved through biomass balance feedstock and 100% renewable energy production. - SINOYQX Recycled Melamine Foam:
An eco-friendly B1-grade flame-retardant acoustic and thermal insulation foam made from post-industrial recycled melamine foam scraps. It aims to reduce waste, extend material lifecycle, and deliver excellent sound absorption and thermal insulation performance.
