8kg/m2 Mass Loaded Vinyl Installation:

8kg/m2 Mass Loaded Vinyl  is very easy to cut and install. The product contains a fabric scrim with an embossed face increasing  tear resistance whilst maintaining high flexibility.

Walls / ceilings / underfloors – the product should be tacked to studs / joists using tacks with large heads or incorporating a washer to minimize tear. Gluing is also beneficial.

Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) can be glued to machinery housings, pump housings, boat or car structures to increase the mass and reduce sound transmission.

Sheets should be butted up against each other, or overlapped and taped using a a strong industrial tape.

8kg/m2 Mass Loaded Vinyl Composition:

Mass Loaded Vinyl is comprised of 3 elements.

First, vinyl is employed to provide the product with a high level of flexibility for ease of use.

Second, the Vinyl is impregnated with naturally occurring Barium Sulphate, a non toxic nature and high relative density substance. It is this high relative density (mass) that gives Mass Loaded Vinyl such effective soundproofing capabilities.

Finally, the vinyl and barium mixture is added to a reinforcing scrim to increase the products tensile strength

8kg/m2 Mass Loaded Vinyl Wall & Ceiling Predictions

BCA F5.5 (a) Sound insulation rating of walls—A wall in a Class 2 or 3 building must

(I) have an Rw + Ctr (airborne) not less than 50, if it separates sole-occupancy units; and
(II) have an Rw (airborne) not less than 50, if it separates a sole-occupancy unit from a plant room, liftshaft, stairway, public corridor, public lobby or the like, or parts of a different classification
(c) A wall in a Class 9c aged care building must have an Rw not less than 45 if it separates(I) a sole-occupancy unit;or
(II) a sole-occupancy unit from a plant room or liftshaft

*Rw rating is a single number quantity summarising the transmission loss of a material over the frequency range from 100Hz to 3.15 kHz. Independent test reports available.
