Composion of Mass Loaded Vinyl
Mass Loaded Vinyl is primarily manufactured using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) combined with high-density mineral fillers such as barium sulfate or calcium silicate. These compounds increase the material’s mass and acoustic performance while maintaining flexibility.
The dense composition allows MLV to effectively block airborne noise, while the flexible structure enables smooth application on flat and irregular surfaces.
Sound Transmision through Mass Loaded Vinyl
The sound insulation performance of Mass Loaded Vinyl is independently tested under controlled laboratory conditions in accordance with ISO 10140-2:2021 standards.
Sound Transmission Class (STC): STC 25 to STC 35+
Its high-density barrier properties help reduce airborne sound transfer, making it suitable for demanding acoustic environments throughout the Saudi Arabia market.
Why Choose Mass Loaded Vinyl?
As urban development, traffic, industrial activity, and commercial expansion continue to increase across KSA, effective noise control has become essential for modern spaces. MLV provides reliable acoustic insulation that helps create quieter, more productive, and more comfortable environments.
Its durable construction also ensures long-term performance under varying environmental conditions.

FAQ'S About MLV
Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is a high-density, flexible soundproofing material designed to block airborne noise transmission through walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and partitions.
MLV adds mass to a structure, making it more difficult for sound waves to pass through. It is highly effective at reducing airborne noise such as voices, music, traffic noise, and machinery sounds.
Yes. MLV is commonly used in homes, apartments, villas, bedrooms, home theaters, and entertainment rooms to improve sound insulation and privacy.
Absolutely. MLV is widely used in offices, hotels, schools, hospitals, cinemas, restaurants, and industrial facilities where noise control is required.
MLV is most effective against airborne noise. For impact noise such as footsteps, it is often combined with acoustic underlayments, floating floor systems, or specialized floor insulation materials.
