Sorberbarrier AGC combines the superior soundproofing performance of the flexible mass loaded vinyl, Wavebar, and Pyroteks Sorberfoam with a fire-resistant aluminium glass cloth facing (AGC). The product is designed to reduce unwanted sound in applications with fire safety requirements. Sorberbarrier AGCs acoustic performance is achieved by placing the mass barrier between two layers of absorbing foam. It keeps the noise barrier separate from the structure it is bonded to, allowing for flexibility to reflect and absorb the transmission of sound.

The durable AGC facing offers protection from mechanical stress, dirt, oil and liquid ingress. As it is flame retardant, the facing can enhance the overall fire and thermal insulation performance of the product. Tests have revealed that increasing the thickness of the foam separating the barrier improves the products performance in some frequencies without affecting the overall weight. The combination of these properties allows Sorberbarrier to target a broad range of frequencies, making it one of the most versatile acoustic solutions in the marketplace.
