Highly dense or massive materials typically do not have a porous structure to allow the sound wave to enter (and pass through) them. Blocking sound on the other hand, requires that the material to be used be the opposite in composition to an absorber. These crevices capture the relatively short wavelengths of mid to high-frequency sound and convert the sounds energy to heat via friction. Fuzzy stuff absorbers function by virtue of the fuzzy materials porosity (the percentage of pores or crevices, to the total volume of the mass). In this example, 17 cm (˜ 6 inches) of depth would be needed to attenuate frequencies at and above 500 Hz. To absorb this wavelength with fuzzy stuff would require a minimum depth of absorber of one-quarter of the wave’s length. For example, mid to high-frequency sound - say above 500 Hz - have wavelengths greater than 68 cm in length (˜ 27 inches). Absorbing sound relies heavily on the knowledge and manipulation of a sounds wavelength. How these materials are employed in the design of the absorber / barrier or, how and where the absorber / barriers are placed in an environment is the wizardry of acoustic design. Most if not all absorbers and barriers have one or both of these characteristics in their design. In general there are only two characteristics that make an effective sound absorber or sound barrier – “fuzzy stuff” (mineral fibre or fiberglass) or mass. We first need to understand what makes a good absorber or barrier. Now thats a guarantee no one else can give you in this country! What’s the difference between Mass Loaded Vinyl and acoustic sound batts? #Installing mass loaded vinyl on ceiling full#Test the weight of Isobrane and get a full refund even if it’s 100 grams less than promised. Nankarrow Isobrane is the industry standard and completely safe. Other dubious products use harmful barium or lead additives. Neither does the MLV weigh as much as they claim it does, nor does it block sound. You will find various brands on Amazon, Indiamart, and other websites – they are simply peddling recycled tyre rubber in the name of MLV with tall claims. Regretfully most MLV in India is fake – it is not MLV. A combination of flexibility and high density is what makes Isobrane Mass Loaded Vinyl so effective in blocking sound. Iron powder, quartz powder, and calcium carbonate are used in Isobrane due to their unique properties – they are non-toxic and has a high relative density while preserving the limpness of the vinyl. Sound Block Mass Loaded Vinyl or MLV is a sound barrier blocking material known as a “Limp Mass Barrier.” The material is comprised of two principle ingredients: vinyl - to give the MLV flexibility, “the limpness” and, a naturally occurring, high mass element. IsoBrane ™ is India’s bestselling soundproofing membrane, which acts as a limp mass to increase the transmission loss of walls, ceilings, and floors and especially in light/drywall/siporex/door construction.
