Product Description
What is Mass Loaded Vinyl?
Mass Loaded Vinyl, or MLV, is a heavy vinyl sheeting material designed to stop sound transmission.
The substantial weight and mass of MLV is achieved by infusing vinyl with a proprietary blend of acoustical compounds, which gives it high density while allowing it to retain flexibility. MLV has been used for sound deadening purposes since the 1960s and is still considered to be one of the most effective sound blocking materials on the market.
Mass Loaded Vinyl is a safe, non-toxic, odorless barrier designed to hang as a dense, flexible sheet in a variety of sound deadening applications.
How Does MLV Block Sound?
The heavier the material, the more sound is absorbed into the material and the higher the sound transmission loss.
Mass Loaded Vinyl stops the transmission of sound waves largely due to its weight and sound-absorbing construction. Sound waves cause a vibration when they contact a surface, which enlarges and expands as it transfers to the air outside of a room. Vibrations travel faster and easier through surfaces like floors and walls. A more dense and more flexible like Noise Grabber™ MLV helps reduce the transfer of sound.
Another advantage of Mass Loaded Vinyl is its composition. Noise Grabber™ MLV is made largely of PVC plastic sheeting so it does not have an odor that you generally associate with black rubber construction materials. It also has a smooth, consistent finish that allows you to finish a project in any number of ways, including leaving it open to the room.
The fine stripe microperforated sloped grid is crafted using precision techniques to block the airflow vibrations of sound-transmitting materials, achieving enhanced soundproofing effects.
(The fine stripe microperforated cavity eliminates the propagation of minute sounds.)
Back Side (High-Permeability Premium Non-Woven Fabric)
The high-transparency premium non-woven fabric has a high adhesive content, ensuring even distribution of the adhesive. Irregular hollow perforations stabilize the adhesive, making it less prone to detachment.
(To prevent the use of inferior or slow-drying adhesives on a flat bonding surface, it is recommended to use nails after applying the adhesive for added stability.)
Where is MLV Used?
Mass Loaded Vinyl has a range of applications and is widely used across several areas of the soundproofing market, especially in construction markets. Thanks to its thin, flexible makeup, MLV is great for use in or on walls, ceilings, and floors. It reduces sound traveling through walls, between rooms, and is frequently used in the construction of sound or music studios.
MLV is also used frequently in the automotive industry. Thanks in large part to its ability to stop any airborne sound, MLV is used in vehicles of all types to lessen engine and road noise and enhance audio quality.
