UVEKOL® A Laminates Sound-Deadening Performances
Acoustic damping or sound deadening is usually expressed in a single-value rating: Rw, STC or OITC. The tables here reflect acoustical performance for a given composition.
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA 2980) test on free UVEKOL film of 10 mm x 8 mm and 1 mm thickness under tension at 1 Hz.
   
UVEKOL® S Laminates Sound-Deadening Performances
While UVEKOL S has been specifically designed for safety and security purposes, it also provides exceptional acoustical properties. As shown in the charts below, a single-layer UVEKOL S laminate will already result in an STC between 34 and 37, while its use in IG units with gas filling has shown to increase this value to 44.
