Melamine Etherified Resin

(MER), is a modified melamine

resin, that has a thermoplastic

processing window which

makes it applicable in

conventional thermoplastic pro-

cesses such as extrusion and

meltblowing.

MER has been specifically

developed and optimized for

the 3-step Melamine-Meltblown

Technology.

Test have shown that quite often a

similar acoustic absorption can be

reached by using smartMELAMINE®

with approximately half the weight

required by conventional thermoplastic

materials.

Those materials do in addition, lack the

thermal and burning resistance of

smartMELAMINE®.
