SAM3 SOUND ABATEMENT MEMBRANE

For Use With Sound-Rated Ceiling Assemblies

Product Information:

The SAM³ (Sound Abatement Mat) System provides three functions. It's a sound reduction membrane, a crack suppression membrane and a waterproof membrane; all in one easy-to-use roll.

The SAM³ System is a thin, 70 mil (3/32") self-adhering, sound deadening sheet membrane. It is chemically formulated to reduce airborne (STC) and impact (IIC) sound transmission when used under ceramic tile.

The SAM³ System is composed of modified elastomers, sound deadening resins and reinforced woven fibers. SAM³'s self-adhering composition produces a quick and economical installation.

 

Recommended Uses:

The SAM³ System is designed for floors requiring and Impact Insulation Class (IIC) rating not less than 50 and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of not less than 50, as determined by ASTM Standards E90, E413 and E492.

Product Test Results:

IIC 58
STC 54
