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
MLV is primarily designed to block airborne noise, but when used with other materials like foam, it can help reduce impact noise as well.
Yes, MLV is generally non-toxic and safe for residential and commercial applications.
MLV does not have significant thermal insulation properties, so it does not noticeably affect room temperature.
Yes, MLV can be painted or covered with fabric, drywall, or other materials for aesthetic purposes without compromising its soundproofing properties.
Yes, MLV is resistant to moisture and UV rays, making it suitable for some outdoor applications.
