TAP Acoustic Laminates combine the three acoustic properties of absorption, damping and blocking within a single material, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. The multi-purpose nature of acoustic laminates makes them particular suitable for remedial and DIY noise reduction applications.
Principle With Typical Example
The principle of Acoustic Laminates is as follows:
The absorption layer reduces reverberant noise
The barrier layer blocks transmitted noise
The spacer layer isolates the barrier from the structure, therefore improving its performance.
(Facings generally reduce high frequency absorption, but have only a marginal effect on overall performance)
A typical example of TAP Acoustic Laminate would comprise of:
1. Class O foam – Space layer.
2. Lead – 5kg/m5 or 10kg/m5 lead barrier.
3. Class O foam - Absorption Layer.
