MLV - Mass Loaded Vinyl 100cm x 5m, a flexible soundproof vinyl barrier that stops vibrations, blocks the passage of sound waves

Block Noise Smartly and Effectively

Are you looking for an effective solution to reduce noise and vibrations in your interior? MLV is a professional soundproofing barrier based on dense vinyl (known as "Mass Loaded Vinyl" or MLV). Thanks to its reinforced backing layer, the material is durable and easy to install on walls, floors, and ceilings.

Material Composition: Flexible yet Heavy

It is primarily made from PVC or EVA vinyl, providing flexibility and elasticity. It includes minerals such as calcium carbonate (similar to sand) or barium sulfate (used clinically as a contrast agent for X-ray imaging or as a filler in plastics), which add weight to the material.

How MLV Works?

Its primary function is to block the transmission of sound waves rather than absorbing or reflecting them.

As a dense material, MLV impedes the passage of sound waves. When sound waves encounter MLV, they struggle to pass through due to its weight and density. As a result, the material reduces or blocks a significant portion of the sound energy passing through it.

Although MLV does not absorb sound in the same way as materials like acoustic foam or insulation, its flexibility and internal structure may lead to minimal absorption. Its main purpose is to prevent the passage of sound rather than absorb it. Our MLV product stands out in the market for its effectiveness and versatility in addressing various noise-related issues.

Ideal for use in construction and manufacturing, as well as environments with frequent noise from buses, cars, trains, and aircraft. It is also suitable for office spaces, residential buildings with multiple apartments, and single-family homes.

Common Uses of MLV

MLV is used in the production of our NovaSilence products and is also part of the filling for highly efficient soundproof booths in the SPB series.

Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) regulates noise and sound in various applications. Among the most common uses are:

Construction: Reduces airborne noise transmission between rooms or from external sources (e.g., traffic or neighbors) when installed in walls, ceilings, and floors.

HVAC Systems: Dampens vibrations and reduces noise from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.

Automotive Industry: Minimizes road and engine noise in vehicles, enhancing overall cabin comfort.

Home Theaters and Studios: Helps create a soundproof environment for home theaters, recording studios, and rehearsal spaces by preventing sound leakage.
