KINETICS® KNM-AL

ACOUSTIC BARRIER MATERIAL

Description and Application Specification


Fire-resistant noise barrier material for wrapping The barrier shall be constructed of a 0.12" or 0.24"
ducts, valves and pipelines. Designed for indoor or (3 or 6 mm) thick, mass-loaded, limp vinyl sheet
outdoor use, Kinetics KNM-AL noise barrier material bonded to a thin layer of reinforced aluminum foil on
reduces risks due to burning, and retards smoke one side. The barrier shall have a nominal density of
development and flame spread. The material is 1.0 or 2.0 psf (4.88 or 9.76 kg/sq. m.).
designed to reduce sound transmission from HVAC
duct, process piping, fluid or gas pulsations in pipe- Product not meeting minimum test standards will
lines for chemical, petrochemical, and waste water not be accepted. Barrier shall have surface burning
treatment plants and gas utility pressure-reducing characteristics as follows: Flame Spread Index: 25 or
stations. less, and Smoke Development Index: 450 or less, per
ASTM E84-15b (reports using standard test methods
The material is constructed of mass-loaded, limp prior to ASTM E84-15b will not be accepted). Barrier
vinyl with a layer of reinforced aluminum foil facing on shall be tested with reinforced foil scrim face exposed
one side. The vinyl provides mass and flexibility, while to flame.
the aluminum adds increased mechanical strength,
weatherability, and improved fire retardancy. The barrier shall be model KNM-100AL or KNM-200AL
as manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc.
The non-lead composition of the material allows for
safe handling and easy installation. When applied
over an insulation material such as fiberglass, foam,
ceramic fiber or mineral wool, Kinetics fire-resistant
barrier material is simply cut to length, wrapped
around the pipe or duct, and fastened with tape,
mechanical fasteners, or bands.
