Barrier – Decoupler
Mass Loaded Vinyl Sound Barrier with Foam Decoupler
The Mass Loaded Vinyl Sound Barrier with Foam Decoupler by Acoustical Surfaces is a noise barrier that helps reduce sound and helps increase the safety on projects. This dense barrier can be used on a variety of behind-the-scenes ductwork, pipes, and other things in order to keep the functional aspect of a building quieter. Some of the features of this material are:
- Reduces Sound Transmission
- Contains Intrusive Noise
- Improves Health and Safety
- Provides Thermal Insulation

Acoustical Pipe lagging dramatically reduces the amount of noise that transmits through the walls of ductwork, PVC and cast iron pipes. When a decoupler layer is added sound transmission is improved.
Caution: Polyurethane foam is flammable and may emit toxic fumes when burned. Do not use near open flame. Check local codes for allowed use. Manufacturer assumes no liability.
