Manufactured in India, supplied in Malaysia
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Malaysia
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Malaysia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang or Penang, both well served from western India.

- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC
- 0.85
- Lead time

- 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
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Malaysia brief
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 Malaysia is mostly electronics and manufacturing plants, hotels and resorts, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- 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 Malaysia.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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 |

On a Malaysia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Malaysia conditions that change the answer
- Plants and clean areas
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything.
- Tropical humidity year round
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years.
- Cooling loads never stop
Continuous mechanical plant close to occupied space causes more complaints than the rooms themselves.
- Two well served ports
Port Klang and Penang both run frequently from India, so we can route to whichever suits your site.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- The studio and content scene
A growing content and music sector working out of shop lots and commercial floors with thin partitions.
Architects working in Malaysia usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Malaysia climate rules in and rules out
Malaysia 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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Malaysia, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Klang or Penang, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Klang |
| 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 Port Klang or Penang, then road to site. 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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
Suppliers who imply a Malaysia presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.

The material in real interiors
Malaysia: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic foam and BassBloc made in Malaysia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Malaysia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang or Penang, both well served from western India. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Malaysia job?
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Malaysia climate affect this product?
Malaysia 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Malaysia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Klang or Penang, then road to site, 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.
What will acoustic foam and BassBloc not do?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
