 WHAT IS PET? WHY USE PET?
Why is PET sometimes called polyester? PET is a green solution that is utilized successfully in multiple verticals.

PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is the
chemical name for polyester. When PET is
used for fiber or fabric applications, it is usu-
ally referred to as polyester. When used
for container and packaging applications,
it is typically called PET or PET resin.
Polyester: Any of a group of polymers that
consist basically of repeated units of and es-
ter and are used especially in making fibers
or plastics. PET panel is a sound absorbing
material with different densities made from
50% recycled polyester fiber by high tem-
perature and a patented weaving process. It
has sound absorbing, fire retardant, non-tox-
ic, non-irritant, odorless characteristics.
Products commonly made from recy-
cled PET include new PET bottles and
jars, carpet, clothing, industrial strapping,
rope, automotive parts, fiberfill for win-
ter jackets and sleeping bags, construc-
tion materials, and protective packaging.
PET is a high density compressed polyester
acoustic panel designed to control unwant-
ed noise as well as provide a decorative
function and element to any space. Nearly
every environment interacts with sound. PET
can achieve a tripple purpose - functional, varying shapes which creates versatility in
acoustics, enhanced design of any space,
and environmental contiousness...bottles

again. The applications are far and wide
reaching in many industries and creating
acoustical comfort where a less than desir-
able acoustic environment can lead to less
than optimal conditions. The work environ-
ment lends itself to a loss of concentration,
loss of hearing, reduced productivity, stress
and lack of privacy especially in the most re-
cent surge of open plan settings. PET offers
the added benefit for designers, architects
and all specialists within the many verticals
to create design elements. PET panels have
allowing interior designs to be more flexi-
ble and creative. One of Burgerees newly
patented technologies is true color all the
way through product which means ia pan-
el can be cut and fitted without edge trims.
The material is very adaptable: it can be cut,
shaped, molded, beveled and even printed
on to create a unique and innovative decora-
tive and branding effect in any environment.

PET is completely recyclable, and is the

most recycled plastic in the U.S and world-
wide. More than 1.5 billion pounds of used
PET bottles and containers are recovered
in the United States each year for recycling.
PET can easily be identified by the #1 in the Compress and Crush

usually found molded into the bottom or
side of the container. No other plastic carries

ACOUSTICS TERMINOLOGY
NRC
Sound absorption of material finishes can
be classified according to NRC (noise
reduction co-efficient) as tested per ASTM
C423 standard and is the average absorp-
tion of a material at 250, 500, 1000, 4000 Hz
rounded to the nearest 5%
The NRC gives no information as to how
absorptive a material is in the low and high
frequencies, nor does it have anything to do
with the materials barrier effect (STC).
Sound Transmission Coefficient ( STC)
STC) is a single-number rating of a mate-
rials or assemblys barrier effect. Higher
STC values are more efficient for reducing
sound transmission. The rating assesses the
airborne sound transmission performance
at a range of frequencies from 125 Hertz
to 4000 Hertz. This range is consistent with
the frequency range of speech. The STC
rating does not assess the low frequency
sound transfer. Special consideration must
be given to spaces where the noise trans-
fer concern is other than speech, such as
mechanical equipment or music.
Sound Absorption
Sound absorption of material finishes are
classified according to ISO 11654 as tested
to ISO 354 test method. It is the weighted
average absorption of a material and is a
good indicator of a product performance.
W numbers can have L M,H after the
number as an indicator as to the shape of
the absorption curve. L means the curve is
higher at the low frequencies ( 125-250Hz)
M means the curve is higher at the mid
frequencies (500 1000 Hz) and H means
the curve is higher at the high frequencies
(2000 4000 Hz).
Satisfactory Design Sound Level
The level of noise that has found to be ac-
ceptable to most people for an environment
question and also not to be intrusive. Re-
ported in weighted average sound pressure
rating dB(A)
Reverberation Time
This is the time in seconds that it takes for a
sound to decay 60dB. Hard surfaces reflect
sound and can lead to long reverberation
times, porous surfaces absorb sound and
help shorten reverberation times. For good
speech intelligibility reverberation times of
RT 0.4 to 0.8 seconds and a signal to noise
ratio of 6dB are required.
Reflected Sound
Reflected sound is sound that is has reflect-
ed from one or more room surfaces. Re-
flected sound takes longer to reach the ear
than direct sound because its path is longer,
it is useful or problematic depending on the
delay and overlap with direct sound. Re-
flected sound can be controlled by altering
the surface absorbent or reflective qualities
and Asona manufactures a wide range of
ceiling and wall finishes to suit the many
different applications.
Direct Sound
Direct sound is a single path from source
to receiver and its clarity is beneficial for
speech intelligibility and music tone quality
as it is unaffected by room surfaces.
