Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Ho Chi Minh City
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ho Chi Minh City. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city.

- 1800 x 900 mm
- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC

- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Ho Chi Minh City
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Ho Chi Minh City is mostly tube houses and apartments, towers and offices, manufacturing, hotels, schools, clinics.
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Ho Chi Minh City.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Ho Chi Minh City conditions that change the answer
- Narrow, deep, shared on both sides
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once.
- Traffic never stops
Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall.
- New towers, hard interiors
Concrete frames with tile and glass inside. The structure blocks, the room rings.
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- The housing stock
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- The studio and content scene
A fast growing content scene works out of rooms in tube houses and commercial floors with thin partitions.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Ho Chi Minh City climate decides the material list
Ho Chi Minh City is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Ho Chi Minh City site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Cat Lai or Cai Mep |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.
06 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Ho Chi Minh City certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

How it looks once it is installed
Ho Chi Minh City: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc you supply to Ho Chi Minh City actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ho Chi Minh City as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Ho Chi Minh City build-up differ from anywhere else?
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once. Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Ho Chi Minh City weather shorten the life of this material?
Ho Chi Minh City is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Ho Chi Minh City?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Where do acoustic foam and BassBloc fail to help?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
