Super
SAM SOUND ABATEMENT MEMBRANE
No
Sound Rated Ceiling Assembly Required
 The
Super SAM (Sound Abatement Mat) System, membrane and primer,
provides three functions. It is a sound reduction membrane,
a crack suppression membrane and a waterproof membrane when
used with an approved sealant, all in one easy-to-use roll.
Recommended for light commercial and residential projects.
How
It Works:
The Super SAM
System is a 110 mil, self-adhering, sound deadening sheet
membrane for use over 6" or 8" concrete slabs
without a sound rated ceiling assembly.
It is chemically
formulated to reduce airborne (STC) and impact (IIC) sound
transmission when used under stone, ceramic and porcelain
tile, wood and commercial grade vinyl tile. The Super SAM
System is composed of modified elastomers, sound deadening
resins and reinforced woven fibers. Super SAM self-adhering
composition produces a quick and economical installation
over 6" and 8" concrete slabs without sound rated
ceiling assemblies.

Uses
The Super SAM
System is designed for floors requiring an 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. Assemble to meet or exceed
tile industry standards.
Medium and mortar bed installation of ceramic tile products,
stone, pavers, or brick requiring sound abatement such as:
apartments, condominiums, multi-level hotels, high-rise
office buildings, media rooms, children play areas and other
areas needing sound reduction. Other finished floors may
be acceptable, check with manufacturer. Super SAM can be
applied interior and exterior over:
Concrete: Poured, pre-stressed and pre-cast concrete cured
at least 28 days. Concrete backerboard, mud beds, concrete
block, gypsum, light weight concrete, patching compounds
and radiant heated / warm floors. Wood: Exterior or exposure
1 plywood, APA-rated sheathing, Sturd-I-Floor, hardwood,
tongue and groove and OSB with standard face. (Gap between
sheeting as required.) Other Substrates: Ceramic and porcelain
tile, stone, terrazzo, VCT/VAT, metal, painted and sealed
floors and floors damaged by dry shrinkage and structural
movement.
• Black
Mat MVT (Moisture Vapor Transmission) test to determine
if MVT is present. If
MVT is present, conduct F-1869-98 test for Moisture Vapor
Emissions. Vapor drive should not exceed 3#/thousand square
feet in 24-hours.
• For absorptive surfaces, apply one coat of 101
Floor Prep. Let cure 3 to 4 hours or overnight before
applying primer.
• For concrete block, a cementitious parge coat
must be applied to concrete block and cured before priming.
• Substrates must be dry, well adhered, clean of
wax, petroleum, sealers, dirt, grease, oil or other inhibitors.
Some concrete boards are not suitable for the application
of Super SAM; check with the manufacturer
• Refer to the current year TCA handbook.
