MARINE & INDUSTRIAL VINYL ACOUSTIC BARRIER SYSTEMS FOR SOUNDPROOFING
What is a vinyl acoustic barrier system? MassiCore® Vinyl Acoustic Barrier Systems are high-density mass loaded vinyl (MLV) soundproofing materials engineered to block airborne noise and reduce sound transmission in walls, floors, ceilings, and mechanical systems. These systems are widely used in marine vessels, offshore platforms, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings where controlling noise from engines, generators, and HVAC systems is critical.

Applications For Massicore® Vinyl Acoustic Barrier System
Applications of Vinyl Acoustic Barrier Systems
Where are vinyl sound barriers used?
Vinyl acoustic barriers are used in environments where airborne noise and vibration must be controlled at the source or within assemblies.
Common Applications:
- Interior walls and partition systems
- Floor and ceiling soundproofing
- Pipe and duct wrap systems
- Equipment enclosures
- Mechanical rooms
- Marine vessels and offshore platforms
- Industrial and commercial buildings
Industrial & Commercial Soundproofing Applications
MassiCore® Vinyl Sound Barriers are widely used to:
- Reduce sound transmission between spaces
- Control HVAC and mechanical noise
- Isolate machinery and equipment noise
- Improve workplace conditions
Vinyl Sound Barrier Specifications
ANC-VB-60 and ANC-VB-62 are high-density MassiCore® Vinyl Acoustic Barrier Systems manufactured from non-reinforced, high-temperature fused vinyl with no lead fillers. Designed as effective noise blocking materials, both options are used to reduce sound transmission through walls, floors, and ceilings, and to dampen vibration when applied as a pipe and duct wrap in mechanical and industrial environments.
ANC-VB-60 weighs 1 lb per square foot and is 1/8″ thick, offering a thin, flexible solution for standard soundproofing applications where space and weight are critical. ANC-VB-62 provides increased mass and performance, weighing 2 lb per square foot with a 1/4″ thickness, delivering enhanced sound transmission loss for higher-noise applications requiring greater sound isolation.

Clear Vinyl Barrier (ANC-VB60R)
The ANC-VB60R Industrial Flexible Noise Barrier is a reinforced MassiCore® Vinyl Acoustic Barrier System designed to reduce noise transmission between adjacent areas in demanding industrial environments. Weighing 1 lb per square foot, this reinforced loaded vinyl barrier provides added strength for applications requiring suspension while maintaining effective sound-blocking performance.
ANC-VB60R is commonly used as barrier panels in acoustic enclosures or as the barrier layer in industrial composite noise control products. It is also well suited for curtain-style sound barrier systems, which are typically fabricated with grommets along the top edge and mating hook-and-loop closures on the vertical seams for ease of installation and overlap. Standard roll sizes are 54″ wide × 30′ long or 54″ wide × 60′ long, with reinforced construction that allows the material to sustain its own vertical weight in suspended applications.

FAQS
What is the difference between MassiCore® and AcuvaCore™ systems?
MassiCore® products are high-mass vinyl noise barriers designed primarily for blocking sound transmission, especially low-frequency noise from engines and generators.
AcuvaCore™ systems are composite solutions that combine sound blocking and sound absorption, making them ideal for environments where both noise containment and echo reduction are required.
Which product is best for generator noise control?
- For generator applications, MassiCore® Marine 135 (ANC-MB135) and AcuvaCore™ 32 (ANC-ACV-32-B45) are the most effective options. MassiCore® Marine 135 is ideal for maximum sound blocking, while AcuvaCore™ 32 adds absorption properties to reduce internal noise buildup within generator enclosures or rooms.
Can these marine noise barriers be installed in tight or retrofit spaces?
- Yes. All systems are designed for flexible installation, allowing them to be mounted on walls, ceilings, enclosures, and irregular surfaces. Products like MassiCore® Marine 90 (ANC-MB90) and AcuvaCore™ 25 (ANC-ACV-25-B45) are especially well-suited for tight mechanical rooms and retrofit projects.
What is the best soundproofing material for engine rooms?
The best soundproofing solution for engine rooms is a combination of:
- MassiCore® Marine 135 for maximum sound blocking
- AcuvaCore™ 32 for sound blocking + absorption
- Damping coatings or tiles for vibration control
What is the difference between MassiCore® and AcuvaCore™ systems?
- MassiCore® systems are designed to block sound transmission, while AcuvaCore™ systems combine sound blocking and sound absorption, making them ideal for reducing both noise transfer and echo in enclosed spaces.
Where should vinyl sound barriers be installed?
Vinyl sound barriers are installed in:
- Walls, ceilings, and floors
- Pipe and duct systems
- Equipment enclosures
- Marine bulkheads and hulls
- Mechanical and generator rooms
Can Noise Blocking Vinyl be wrapped around pipes and ducts?
- Yes. Vinyl sound barriers are frequently used as pipe and duct wrap solutions to dampen vibration, reduce breakout noise, and control structure-borne sound from mechanical systems.
Is the material safe for indoor use?
- Yes. Our vinyl noise barrier is non-toxic, lead-free, and designed for indoor commercial and industrial environments. It also meets recognized fire and flammability standards, making it suitable for regulated installations.
Do I need both sound blocking and sound absorption?
It depends on the application:
- Use MassiCore® when you need to block sound between spaces
- Use AcuvaCore™ when you need to block sound AND reduce echo within a space
Why are acoustic sealing tapes important?
- Acoustic tapes ensure airtight sealing of seams and joints, preventing sound leaks and maintaining the effectiveness of the sound barrier system.
