World First

Acoustica has developed and patented internationally, the world’s first protein based

Natural Organic Visco-Elastic Noise Barrier 'QuietWave^®'

Now there is an environmental Choice

Now you can make the responsible choice

With the development of the World’s first Mass Loaded Organic (MLO) Barrier - the first major breakthrough in mass loaded acoustic barrier technology in 50 years - there is now a real environmental, safety and performance alternative to Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) barriers.

The development of Acoustica’s visco-elastic natural organic polymer addresses industry and consumer environmental concerns including:

√ Resource Conservation and Low Impact Use

√ Use of renewable materials

√ Avoiding the use of any materials that deplete natural resources

√ Using recycled materials / waste by-products

√ Low embodied energy

Acoustica’s visco-elastic natural organic polymer is formulated from a combination of abundant resources: water, compounds extracted from salt water, animal waste, vegetable by-products and protein from non-food grade crops.

Avoiding materials made from toxic or hazardous substances

√ No PVC plasticisers

√ NO Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s)

Increased Safety

√ Non flammable – will not support combustion - Group1 Fire Rated - Tested and certified with the highest possible
rating. Under this rating there is no limitation for its use in any place without protection.

√ Safe to dispose of in landfill.

The bottom Line

√ Price: No price premium to vinyl or other thermoplastic fossil fuel based products

√ Acoustic Performance: Superior to lead at least equal to mass loaded vinyl of the same surface weight
