Acousti-Coat is heavy bodied, water-based, flat latex paint formulated with ceramic microspheres and sound absorbing fillers. The combination of a high loading of ThermaCels with their vacuum centers reduces sound transmission; the soft pigment fillers absorb sound and prevent it from bouncing off surfaces. It also provides a highly effective insulating benefits to the painted surface. Sound Absorption Testing A sound absorption test, conducted under the requirements as set by American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Test Method for Sound Absorption and Sound Absorption Coefficients by the Reverberation Room Method, ANSI/ASTM C423-77, was performed, Acousti-Coat. Two 15mil WFT costs of the product were applied to a one-half inch gypsum board backing mounted on a 2" by 2" wood frame providing 2" air space. The sample was laid directly on the floor, and the following test results were obtained: FREQUENCY: 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 ABSORPTION: 0.5, 0.6, 0.75, 0.79, 0.81, 0.8 NRC = 0.71 Understanding the benefits This product is designed to act as a "sound sponge." It absorbs the sounds within the room, such as, home theaters, churches, meeting halls, cathedral ceilings, etc. While this paint is heavily fortified with our ThermaCels and sound absorbing fibers, the standard 2 coats will reduce the echoing a basic amount. We always tell customers, the more coats applied provides more sound absorption. Thicker sponges absorb more. What does it mean Sound Absorbing? In typical setting where sound absorption is needed, such as sound booth, panels are used to absorb, like a sponge, sound waves bouncing off the panels. These panels have divots that break up the sound and do not allow those sounds to bounce back, think echoes. The texture of this coating (determined by roller thickness or spray setting) aids in breaking up sound reflections the same way. What will Acousti Coat do and will not do? It will: Apply Acousti Coat and your neighbors hear you less!Reduce the echoing sounds within a room.It will produce a highly reflective heat barrier.Reduces heat intrusion into adjoining rooms. It will NOT: Deaden sound from next door, upstairs, etc. For this use our SC 1000Stop you from hearing drums played in the garageStop adjoining room noises at high volumeStop you from hearing cars drive by. Still have questions about using this paint? A customer of Hy-Tech painted his vaulted living room ceiling with our Barrier Coat (for insulation benefits), and then six coats of Acousti Coat. He allowed for each coat to dry before the next, testing with a radio on a set volume and a decibel meter after each coat. Every sound produced in movies and music is heard clearly without any distortion or echo. The results are, you feel like you are in your own private movie theater or recording studio. The sound is rich and inviting. Coverage area for Acousti Coat How much paint do I need to reduce the noise I keep hearing in my living areas? The best example we can give to customer is: In an area of 8ft x 6ft, 1 gallon of Acousti Coat will cover an average 50 square feet with 2 coats. A few things to think of when purchasing paint: What are you painting? What are you trying to achieve by painting? Many customers tell us they want to stop all the excess noise. We ask, are you hearing echoing within the room? Or is the sound coming through the walls into your room? (In other words, noises from outside.) Acousti Coat is designed to reduce noises, sounds, traveling in and around a room. The reason Acousti Coat covers so little an area is, unlike other "sound absorbing paints," Acousti Coat performs like a sound sponge. When you look at 2 different sponge types you can see a difference, such as a dish washing sponge versus a car washing sponge. You would not use the thin dish sponge on your vehicle or the thick car sponge on your delicate dishes. In the case of Acousti Coat, the thickness of the paint, the amount of coats you put on your walls or ceilings will give the area a great chance of absorbing as much sound as it possibly can. Understanding what Acousti Coat does. Acousti Coat is specifically formulated to reduce noise within a room. We cannot stress this enough. If you are looking to reduce the bouncing sound waves in a space, this paint will do that. It will deaden, reduce, the echoes from human speech, sound systems reverberating around your room. Understanding what Acousti Coat does. Think sponge! It sounds weird to think of a paint product like a sponge, but this is true about Acousti Coat. Absorbing sound is what Acousti Coat does, just like a cleaning sponge absorbs water. The thicker the sponge, the more water it holds. The same concept can be used when applying Acousti Coat to your painting project. Thicker is better. Understanding what Acousti Coat does. Acousti Coat requires a minimum of TWO thick coats in order for the paint to make a difference. The reason for this is due to the heavy concentration of ThermalCels. These ceramic microspheres and other sound absorbing materials need to be spread uniformly on the entire wall to reduce the sound transfer rates within the room. More coats will provide better benefits. Understanding what Acousti Coat does. When at first you don't succeed, try again. The same principle can be applied with Acousti Coat. If you have not received the reduction in sound, within your newly painted space, apply another coat of Acousti Coat. Remember, the sponge, you can add more water to a sponge if you need to. Acousti Coat can be applied multiple times to achieve the reduction in sound you are trying to accomplish within your painted space. Noise Reduction Inside the space. Think Sponge!
