Product catalog summary
Concept
Phonoflex® is a sound-absorbing panel developed by Ercole Marelli Doluflex srl, utilizing Helmholtz resonance. Unlike traditional panels, it features an internal corrugated core that absorbs sound, allowing for reduced thickness and weight without compromising performance. It is lightweight, easy to install, fire-resistant, and fully recyclable, making it suitable for various architectural designs with multiple surface finishes available.
Eco-Friendly and Fire Resistant
Phonoflex® is made entirely of aluminum, free from fibrous materials, and is non-combustible. It is also designed to minimize dust accumulation and is modular, adapting to different environments.
Acoustic Properties
The sound absorption coefficient (αw) measures the material's ability to absorb sound, ranging from 0 (all sound reflected) to 1 (all sound absorbed). Phonoflex® panels are effective in improving speech intelligibility and are suitable for environments like cinemas, concert halls, and offices.
Surface Finishing
Phonoflex® can be finished with anodized, sublimated, or painted aluminum, among others. It can also be covered with PVC film or combined with porous materials for enhanced sound insulation.
Specifications
The panel is designed with cavity resonance, acting as a Helmholtz resonator. It is lightweight, structural, and fire-resistant, with a longer lifespan than porous materials. The standard panel features a 20 mm thickness with 2 mm diameter holes, arranged in specific patterns for optimal sound absorption.
Applications
Phonoflex® is used in various architectural projects, such as false ceilings in restaurants and conference rooms, providing both aesthetic and acoustic benefits.
Technical Details
The panel's resonating frequency depends on cavity volume, neck height, and hole size. The formula for calculating this frequency considers these factors, ensuring effective sound absorption.

Concept Using Helmholtz resonance, Ercole Marelli Doluflex srl developed Phonoflex®, a sound absorbing panel without mineral fibres. As compared to traditional panels, sound is absorbed by the panel’s internal corrugated core. This special structure allows Phonoflex® to reduce thickness and weight without compromising absorption performance. The lack of porous materials makes it light, easy to install, store, transport and fire resistant. Phonoflex® is totally recyclable! Phonoflex® is easy to work with and adapts well to various dimensional and aesthetic needs. This high technology product also...

Helmholtz Resonance A sound wave is a vibration, the oscillation of a certain mass of air. When this air enters a hollow it causes pressure to increase, which pushes the air back outside, generating a depression in the inner part and a subsequent suction effect. This process cyclically repeats, with a specific frequency and decreasing strength. This reduction Sound absorption coefficient [αs] of air movement allows the noise to be absorbed (or rather for some of its frequencies). Sound absorption coefficient αs ISO 11654 Phonoflex® prepainted aluminium 100 125 Frequencies in ¹/³ octave bands...
