Sonic-Fiber Faced Mineral Wool is a semi-flexible non-asbestos mineral wool that provides greater sound attenuation than fiberglass bats or urethane foam. Sonic-Fiber Faced Mineral Wool is naturally hydrophobic (repels water), fire resistant, does not promote mold growth, and is vermin-proof. ( yes vermin proof- we are not kidding- if it wasn’t important, we wouldn’t bring it up!)
It is available in sheets that are faced on one side with an encapsulant which protects the fibers and acts like a vapor barrier. The facing materials are available in white or black and if appearance is important to you, we can work with you on the color of the facing material. Since Sonic-Fiber Faced Mineral Wool is generally used as a component of an enclosure, an acoustical panel the color of the facing material generally does not matter. However, a foil facing is available and we can speak with you about the need for that particular “flavor” of Sonic-Fiber
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of a material is obtained through testing by a certified laboratory to ASTM standards. The NRC is an indication of the amount of sound energy absorbed upon striking a particular surface. An NRC of 0 indicates perfect reflection (such as a smooth concrete surface) and an NRC of 1 indicates perfect absorption. Sonic-Fiber Faced Mineral Wool is used inside rooms, enclosures and walls to reduce acoustical reflections and sound energy, is used with sound barrier materials, such as Sonic-Shield™ Noise Barrier.
Sonic-Fiber Faced Mineral Wool comes in standard size sheets of 4’ x 6’ with a 2” thickness, and a density of 8 lbs/cu-ft.
Sonic-Fiber mineral wool is one of our most popular and effective soundproofing products. Acting as a sound absorption material Sonic-Fiber mineral wool is used in all of our acoustical panels whether they are hard sided or soft sided. Since we use acoustical panels in almost all of our soundproof enclosures, Sonic-Fiber wool shows up in our soundproofing solutions over and over again in many different product forms.
Whenever residential, commercial, industrial or transportation noise problems call for sound absorption, we look to our mineral wool as our first “line of defense” against unwanted noise. Easy to handle and relatively lightweight, Sonic-Fiber is a semi-flexible non-asbestos mineral wool that provides greater sound attenuation than fiberglass bats or urethane foam.
Sonic-Fiber is naturally hydrophobic (repels water), fire resistant, does not promote mold growth, and is vermin-proof. It is available in sheets that are either un-faced or faced on one side with an encapsulant which protects the fibers and acts like a vapor barrier. Sonic-Fiber comes in standard size sheets of 4’ x 6’ with a 2” thickness, and a density of 8 lbs/cu-ft. Mechanical and acoustic properties are provided below.
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of a material is obtained through testing by a certified laboratory to ASTM standards. The NRC is an indication of the amount of sound energy absorbed upon striking a particular surface. An NRC of 0 indicates perfect reflection (such as a smooth concrete surface) and an NRC of 1 indicates perfect absorption. Sonic-Fiber™ is used inside rooms, enclosures and walls to significantly reduce acoustical reflections and overall sound energy, and may be used together with sound barrier materials, such as Sonic-Shield™ Noise Barrier.
