How many kinds of melamine foam density are there? And how to choose?

Date:2023-09-22

Melamine foam is a sponge made of melamine formaldehyde resin foamed according to a fixation process.After compression at different pressure, original density melamine foam will become melamine foam sponge with different densities. The widely used melamine foam density are 8 density melamine foam, 12 density melamine foam and 48 density melamine foam.

What Is the Density of Melamine Foam?

The density of melamine foam refers to the amount of foam material contained within a certain volume. It is usually measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). For example, a melamine foam with a density of 8 kg/m³ contains less foam material within the same volume than one with a density of 12 kg/m³ or 48 kg/m³.

For a magic sponge, density can affect how the sponge feels when compressed and how well it holds up during repeated cleaning. However, density is not the only factor that determines cleaning performance. Sponge size, thickness, foam structure, surface friction, and the type of cleaning task also matter.

Different Melamine Foam Densities

Melamine foam can be produced in different density specifications. Some commonly used options include 8 kg/m³, 12 kg/m³, and higher-density materials such as 48 kg/m³.

Melamine Foam DensityGeneral CharacteristicsTypical Applications
8 kg/m³Lightweight and softerGeneral cleaning and lightweight magic sponges
12 kg/m³More material and better durabilityRegular cleaning and commercial cleaning sponges
48 kg/m³Much denser and more rigidApplications requiring higher durability or structural support

Melamine foam original density is fixed at 8 density, which is also the lowest density. The density of melamine sponge will increase under higher pressures of the compressor, but the weight remains unchanged, so melamine foam with different densities are obtained. The following is an introduction to the most suitable application cases for different densities melamine foam.

The most common 8 kg/m³ Melamine Foam

8 density melamine foam sponge has a great advantage in the field of home decoration as acoustic material. 8 density melamine foam means that in 1 cubic meter of space, the weight of melamine acoustic foam is 8 kilograms. 8 density melamine foam is the lightest plastic in the world. Therefore, 8 density melamine foam does not put a burden on the wall, which stands out among many sound-absorbing materials.

8 density melamine sponge(magic sponge) can also be used for general cleaning purposes in addition to being an acoustic material, such as removing stains, dirt and stubborn marks from surfaces such as walls, floors and furniture.

8 density melamine foam sponge is Enda's best-selling melamine foam product because of its versatility. By the way, 8 density melamine foam is also the cheapest of all products because it uses the least melamine raw material for the same volume.

More cost-effective 12 kg/m³ Melamine Foam

12 density melamine foam sponge is a very durable cleaning product. It combines powerful cleaning performance with durability. 12 density melamine sponge of the same size can last longer than 8 density melamine sponge. 12 density melamine foam provides a good balance between cleaning effectiveness and longevity.

12 density melamine foam sponges comes with custom pattern service. You can choose beautiful patterns to be printed on the surface of the 12 density melamine foam to make it more unique and beautiful.

Strong and Sturdy 48 kg/m³ Melamine Foam

48 density melamine foam, also known as melamine sponge sheet. Known for its exceptional durability and strength. 48 density melamine foam sponge can clean many small gaps, which is difficult for other low density sponges to do.

How to Choose Melamine Foam Density?

The best density depends on how the melamine foam will be used. General cleaning may require a different specification from commercial cleaning or applications involving frequent use.

For a magic sponge, buyers should consider density together with sponge size, thickness, cleaning pressure, surface type, and expected service life. Testing different specifications before a bulk order is a practical way to find the right balance.

For other melamine foam applications, density selection also depends on the required performance. Lower-density melamine foam is commonly used for sound absorption, while different density specifications can be selected for flame-retardant or thermal insulation applications according to the required product performance. The highest density is not necessarily the best choice for every application.

Can Melamine Foam Density Be Customized?

Yes. Melamine foam density can be customized for different product requirements. Henan Enda Company commonly supplies 8–16 kg/m³ melamine sponge densities, with special-density options from 16–64 kg/m³ available for customized wholesale products.

The suitable density depends on the target market, cleaning application, sponge size, and expected usage. Some typical customization examples are shown below:

Buyer TypeSuggested DensityOther Customization Options
Amazon Cleaning Product Seller8–12 kg/m³Custom size, shape, embossed pattern, individual packaging, private label
Cleaning Product Wholesaler12–16 kg/m³Custom size, thickness, shape, bulk packaging
Large Supermarket / Retail Chain10–16 kg/m³Retail-ready packaging, branding, custom sponge size and shape
Commercial Cleaning Supplier16–24 kg/m³Higher-density foam, larger size, custom cutting, bulk packaging

These are example specifications rather than fixed standards. A buyer may choose a different density depending on the product design and cleaning requirements. Density can also be combined with customized size, shape, embossing, branding, and packaging.
