Mega Zorbeâ„¢ - Hydrophobic Melamine Foam
The last step of any vehicle soundproofing project is absorbing noise that's already in the cabin. Enter Mega Zorbeâ„¢, an aerospace grade, lightweight melamine foam sheet with excellent physical properties, making it ideal for both sound and thermal insulation. We've enhanced our melamine foam through a proprietary treatment to make it a hydrophobic foam safe for use in vehicles. Our patented process penetrates the entire material to ensure long-lasting and consistent waterproofing. Because it's an open cell foam, Mega Zorbeâ„¢ is perfect for absorbing those medium and high frequency noises in your vehicle.
Features
- 1/2" thick hydrophobic melamine foam
- Lightweight, flexible, water resistant, and Class A fire rated
- Aerospace grade sound absorber and hydrophobic insulation (R-value per inch: 4.16)
- Meets all aerospace, transportation, and architectural standards for fire, smoke, toxicity, and water resistance
- Made in Germany and treated in the USA

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
- Recommended Installation: First, remove your door panels and/or vehicle headliner (watch an in-depth guide on Mega Zorbeâ„¢ installation here).
- The best way to handle Mega Zorbeâ„¢ is to first cut it down to the size of the install location, making sure to leave room for wiring and other electrical components.
- Mega Zorbeâ„¢ cuts easily: a simple pair of scissors will do the job! After you make your cuts, simply peel & stick!
- For thicker foam options, consider our Mega Zorbeâ„¢ Pro, which comes in 1" or 2".
- You can also stack Mega Zorbeâ„¢ on top of itself for more thermal and sound insulation to 3" or even 4" of total thickness using a spray adhesive, like our P329 Permanent Spray Adhesive.
- The high R-value of open cell foam makes Mega Zorbeâ„¢ excellent for additional insulation in the doors and above the headliner.
- DO NOT use MegaZorbeâ„¢ on the floor of your vehicle because the open cell foam will decay over time if weight is constantly on it.
- We do not recommend using this product in heat bays or near heat sources. For high heat applications, try Mega Block.
