Loaded Limp Mass Barrier Material
Model KNM
Description
Kinetics Model KNM Loaded Limp Mass Barrier Materials are used for enclosing noise sources, either draped around equipment, suspended between equipment and quiet areas, or lagged to the equipment casing. KNM Vinyl Barrier Materials can be used effectively to lag piping systems, reducing valves, etc., and are highly effective as crosstalk barriers and septums. Our vinyl barrier materials are available in 1/2 psf to 1 psf (2.5 to 4.9 kg/m2 ) surface weight, in 54" wide x 20 yard (1372 mm x 18.2 m) rolls, with acoustical ratings of STC-21 to STC-26.
Application
- Pipe and duct noise lagging
- Ceiling noise barriers
- Crosstalk barrier
- Wall and door septums
- Noise curtain panels and enclosures
