Basotech Foam Sheet
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we stock a wide range of polyurethane foam sheet materials in various grades, including Melamine or Basotech foam. Within the industry, this material is commonly referred to as Melamine Foam, Basotect Foam, Melamine Basotect Foam, or Melamine Polyurethane Foam. We utilise it to manufacture high-quality Melamine Basotect Polyurethane Foam Sheets.
Like other PU foams, Melamine foam is produced in jumbo or master blocks measuring 2500mm long × 1250mm wide × 500mm thick. These blocks are kept in stock, ready to be split into Basotect PU foam sheets measuring 1250mm in width and 1–2 metres in length.
Our state-of-the-art conversion facilities allow us to produce sheets starting from as thin as 1.5mm, and we can laminate them with other materials to create composite Basotect PU foam sheets. Finished products can be supplied plain, coated with self-adhesives, or further processed into gaskets, strips, pads, or washers using presses, bandsaws, and log cutters.
What Are Melamine Basotect Polyurethane Foam Sheets?
Melamine or Basotect foam is a low-density, open-cell PU foam made from melamine resin, a duroplastic synthetic material. The result is lightweight, flexible, and very soft sheets, available in colours ranging from dark grey to white, suitable for a variety of applications while remaining aesthetically appealing.
Our in-house facilities convert jumbo blocks into sheets at the desired thickness using precision splitting machines. Customers often prefer Basotect sheets because they can be easily cut down into pads, strips, gaskets, washers, or smaller sheets as needed, thereby reducing waste and improving versatility.
Basotect foam is widely used in acoustic and thermal insulation applications, providing excellent sound and heat dampening for studios, theatres, machinery, and marine equipment.
Its soft and flexible structure makes it ideal for cushioning and padding in protective packaging, seating, or equipment inserts.
The open-cell nature of Basotect foam enables effective sound absorption, making it an ideal material for acoustic panels and soundproofing applications.
Basotect foam sheets are highly adaptable and can be cut, shaped, or laminated to meet specific project requirements, making them suitable for diverse industries, including a critical factor, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and interior fittings industries HVAC, construction, and transportation.
Melamine foam sheets are exceptionally lightweight, making them ideal for applications where weight is critical, such as automotive, aerospace, and interior fittings.
Certain Basotect foams exhibit water-resistant properties, enabling use in humid or damp environments without compromising performance.

Why Use Melamine Basotect Polyurethane Foam Sheets?
Components cut from Basotect PU foam sheets are used across multiple industries for their unique properties:
- Abrasive nature: Effective for cleaning surfaces like glass, tiles, and ceramic hobs (commonly known as the "Magic Sponge").
- High temperature resistance: Stable up to 240°C.
- Flame resistance: Naturally resistant to fire without additives.
Applications include acoustic and thermal insulation in buildings, studios, and theatres, as well as sound and vibration damping in machinery. Additionally, HVAC components can be precisely cut, even for curved surfaces.
