A2 Sound Barrier is a solid silicone rubber, engineered to meet demanding requirements for flammability, smoke density and toxicity. It is used to block the transmission of sound and demonstrates excellent performance in low frequency noise reduction. Innovative filler technology is used to create superior flame resistance meeting the radiant panel flammability test JAR/FAR, part 25 25.853(a) Change 15/Amdt. 25-91.
