Idaho National Laboratory contacted All Noise Control to help them find a great solution to their noise control issues they experienced their office. After discussing their application All Noise Control provided, Idaho National Laboratory, with a solution, that would help with the soundproofing, issues by suggesting using the acoustical, ANC-AB12

This product has the benefit of both soundproofing and noise barriers. All Noise Control’s ANC-AB12 consists of a non-reinforced 1-lb psf loaded vinyl noise barrier sandwiched between two layers of vinyl-coated fiberglass-cloth faced 1” quilted fiberglass sound absorbers.

• Curtain panels with grommets across the top, hooked and loop fasteners along the vertical edges
• Rolls are available in 4’ wide x 25’ long and can be supplied with edges bound or unbound
• Class A(or1) flammability rated per ASTM E84
• Available colors: gray, white, black and tan

The applications typically used includes curtain panels in acoustical curtains enclosures also used to separate walls or divide partitions between noise sources, commonly used to line the perimeter walls of a building, or as a free-hanging noise barrier/sound absorber wall.

Idaho National Laboratory placed the order and installed ANC-AB12, which is an acoustic quilted fiberglass absorption blanket. After they installed the product, they were satisfied with the results. However, Idaho National Laboratory experiences a significant drop decibel making that area of the pant more manageable and safer for workers.
