ML Vinyl



Wholesale Mass loaded vinyl barrier

is a specialty developed mass layer product offering superior soundproofing. Mass/damper sheet offers STC Ratings up to 32, It is a low cost material used for a variety of Home Theater and land based room Residential/industrial/commercial Studio soundproofing. The drawings below shows Mass vinyl installed as a suspended barrier. This typical application would improve transmission loss between Residential, office adjoining room spaces. The combination of the damping and stiffness properties of Mass vinyl gives it excellent performance as a combined layer and damper when applied to partition panels and lightweight structural bulkheads, reducing room transmission of both airborne and structure Borne noise attenuation. Application direct to panels is best done with pre-applied pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backed up be minimal fasteners or staples. Ideal product for sound studio, garage, basement and recording studio and much more. UL 94 HB Pass
FMVSS 302 Self Extinguishing
Tolerances are 0 +/- 1/8" for width.

Rockwool is made of slag, which is a recycled steel product, and rock, a trap rock mined in Texas...those are the only raw materials in rockwool insulation. we use "coke" which is a recycled material from coal. it is used to make the heat hotter in the manufacturing process, in order to save energy...rockwool is the safest insulation on the market today...it also has one of the best thermal insulating properties as well as a superior sound control while not supporting mold or mildew. all while not having to add any chemicals...many other insulation products on the market today are either all chemical, foams, or have chemicals added to them to keep them fire retardant, cellulose...

E.2.3 Coefficient of absorption. All materials absorb some sound, and the percentage of sound is measured (in laboratory tests) as a coefficient of absorption. Coefficients of absorption range in value from close to 0 (no absorption) to nearly 1.0 (100 % efficient); these coefficients vary as a function of frequency. Materials that are most efficient at absorbing sound include soft porous "fuzzy» materials such as glass fiber, mineral wool fiber, carpet, curtains, acoustic tile, and other specialty materials. Materials that depend on their porosity to absorb sound should not be painted which will clog their pores, and thus degrade their acoustical performance.
