FDA Approved Sound Absorption
FDA Baffles & Panels are specifically designed to serve as a noise reduction treatment within particulate sensitive facilities. The FDA Baffle & Panel absorb sound and reduce noise exposure levels in hospitals, commercial food processing plants, pharmaceutical & medical device manufacturing, clean rooms, and any other facility where maintaining a clean environment is a top priority.
What’s the difference between the two?
Baffles hang vertically from the ceiling. Utilize a 1.5″ thick, 1.6 PCF fiberglass core.
Panels get flush mounted to a surface (walls or ceiling). Utilize a 2″ thick, 3.0 PCF fiberglass core.
Both have a facing which is heat-sealed and non-porous, making them fully waterproof and able to withstand cleaning from chemicals and light spray. They are durable enough to be cleaned and sanitized daily. The standard size for FDA Baffles & Panels is 4′ wide x 2′ tall. Custom sizes are available, up to 8′ x 4′.

Tips & Techniques for Installation
FDA Baffles
Acoustic baffles are suspended vertically, spread out across the expanse of your ceiling. We will place grommets in the top two corners of the flap for you to attach the mounting hardware of your choice. Suspend the baffles in a checkerboard or herringbone pattern in order to prevent the “combing” effect that can sometimes happen if you hang them all parallel to one another.
FDA Panels
Panels can be mounted to walls using screws & fender washers. Hooks may also be used for easier removal & cleaning of panels. For ceiling-mounted applications, we recommend additional flaps & grommets to ensure the panel doesn’t sag when flush-mounted against ceiling surfaces.
To achieve the sound control you need, it’s essential to have the right amount of material delivered to your project site. The location doesn’t matter as long as the treatment is evenly distributed throughout the room.
