MLV Mass Loaded Vinyl Sound Barrier - 1 lb sq/ft Non Reinforced
1 lb Non Reinforced Mass Loaded Vinyl Sound Barrier
Steel Guard Safety's 1 lb per square foot non-reinforced mass loaded vinyl (MLV) sound barrier is a flexible, high-density acoustic barrier material designed to block sound transmission through walls, floors, ceilings, ductwork, and pipe assemblies. Made in the USA from barium sulfate, this MLV carries an STC 26 rating and installs directly against any surface without adding significant bulk to the assembly.
What is Mass Loaded Vinyl
Mass loaded vinyl works by adding limp mass to a surface — stopping sound waves from passing through by converting their energy into negligible amounts of heat. Unlike rigid sound barriers, MLV's flexible nature allows it to conform to irregular surfaces, wrap around pipes and ducts, and integrate into wall assemblies between drywall layers. It can also be used alongside acoustic blankets and sound curtains for combined absorption and blocking performance.
1 lb Non Reinforced MLV Specifications
- Weight: 1 lb per square foot
- STC rating: 26 sound transmission loss
- Available sizes: 4 ft x 25 ft and 4 ft x 50 ft rolls
- Resistant to water, oils, and most chemicals
- Made in the USA from barium sulfate compound
- Ships 2-3 business days
Applications
- Wall and ceiling sound barrier assemblies
- Floor underlayment for impact and airborne noise
- Pipe and duct wrapping for HVAC noise control
- Machine enclosure lining
- Industrial and commercial noise control installations
- Used in conjunction with fiberglass, ceramic fiber, or acoustical foams
For increased blocking performance, see our 1 lb XTRM Ply Reinforced MLV with enhanced temperature resistance and durability, or our 2 lb Non Reinforced MLV for higher STC performance. For duct and pipe specific applications see our Acoustic Duct & Pipe Wrap.
