Sound Barriers and Enclosures

Applications
Rail and road, office partitions, industrial barriers and enclosures

Areas
In double panel structure, stand-alone foam panel, on single barrier

Advantages and Benefits

Good low and medium frequency sound absorption with good performance in sound transmission loss.
Less maintenance. QUASH™ does not absorb or retain water/moisture and does not require water barrier protection (film, painting). Its structural integrity and acoustic performance are virtually unaltered by temperatures (-40 to 100°C for polyethylene QUASH based products and -40 to 130°C for QUASH polypropylene based products) and moisture or water.
Consistent lightweight foam product (i.e.: portable systems, low weight barriers on bridges).
Easy and quick installation with self-supporting foam.
Recyclable.
Effective overall cost solution.
