Soundproofing: the fix for every sound problem

3-layer soundproofing

  1. 1

    Layer 1: SoundBlanket® MLV

    The dense barrier that isolates sound and stops it passing through walls, ceilings and floors.

  2. 2

    Layer 2: BassBloc®This product

    High-density sound absorber over the MLV that controls low-frequency noise.

  3. 3

    Layer 3: Echsorbix®, SoundaXe® or WDWL®

    The final acoustic finish: Echsorbix® PET felt, SoundaXe® wooden acoustics or WDWL® wood wool panels.

Layer 2 can also be covered with gypsum or cement board before adding the final acoustic layer.

Different thickness in each layer will give different STC and NRC levels.

FAQs

Questions about BassBloc®

Who manufactures BassBloc® Sound Absorber in India?
MMTPL (Mahabir Multi Tech Private Limited) manufactures it at its Palwal plant in Haryana, India, and supplies studios, offices, cinemas and industrial sites in India and 25+ export markets.
What is the NRC of BassBloc®?
BassBloc® has an NRC of 0.85, measured to ASTM C423. NRC is a single-figure average, so match the thickness to the frequency you need to control: thicker foam works lower down the spectrum.
Can BassBloc® be left exposed?
No. BassBloc® is a barrier layer at 100 kg/m³ and must be fully covered by acoustic panels, gypsum or wooden panelling. It is installed beneath the finish, not as the finish.
Is it fire rated?
Standard grade is supplied non-FR. A UL 94 Class HS1 fire retardant grade is available on request, which is what most institutional, government and tender projects specify.
