Know more about “ArmaComfort Barrier P” :

1. What is ArmaComfort Barrier P?
   ArmaComfort Barrier P is a high-performance, flexible, mass-loaded acoustic barrier from Armacell, characterized by its distinctive pear-white color. It’s designed to reduce airborne sound transmission in various applications.
2. What are the primary functions of ArmaComfort Barrier P?
   Its main functions are excellent acoustic performance (reducing airborne sound transmission) and high fire safety. Its visible pearly-white finish also allows it to be used in exposed applications.
3. What does the “P” in ArmaComfort Barrier P stand for?
   The “P” refers to its Pearly-white color, distinguishing it from other ArmaComfort Barrier products like “Barrier B” (black) or “Barrier B Alu” (aluminum).
4. What kind of noise does the ArmaComfort Barrier P help reduce?
   It is effective in reducing airborne sound transmission in applications like walls, ceilings, HVAC systems (ducts), enclosures, and mobile partitions.
5. What is the fire performance rating of ArmaComfort Barrier P?
   ArmaComfort Barrier P typically achieves a fire rating of B-s2,d0 according to EN 13501-1, especially for the self-adhesive version. This indicates a very limited contribution to fire, low smoke emission (s2), and no flaming droplets (d0).
6. What is the Weighted Sound Reduction Index (Rw) for ArmaComfort Barrier P?
   The Weighted Sound Reduction Index (Rw) for ArmaComfort Barrier P varies with thickness:
   • 1mm: 23 dB
   • 2mm: 27 dB
   • 3mm: 30 dB
   • 4mm: 32 dB
   • 5mm: 34 dB. This demonstrates its significant sound reduction capabilities.
7. What are the common applications for ArmaComfort Barrier P?
   Common applications include:
   • Interior walls and ceiling constructions (e.g., between plasterboards).
   • HVAC systems (ductwork to prevent noise propagation).
   • Partition walls and ceiling plenums to minimize flanking noise.
   • Visible acoustic treatments for existing walls, enclosures, protection screens, and mobile partitions.
8. How does its material composition (EVA/EPM) contribute to its performance?
   ArmaComfort Barrier P is based on a unique EVA/EPM blend (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate / Ethylene Propylene Monomer). This flexible, high-density material provides superior sound blocking (mass law) and damping properties, effectively reducing sound transmission.
9. Is ArmaComfort Barrier P self-adhesive?
   Yes, ArmaComfort Barrier P is commonly available in self-adhesive sheets, which makes installation quicker and easier on various surfaces like steel and plasterboard.
10. What are the typical thicknesses of ArmaComfort Barrier P?
    ArmaComfort Barrier P is available in various thicknesses, typically 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm, allowing for customization based on specific acoustic requirements.
11. How does ArmaComfort Barrier P differ from ArmaComfort AB AL PUR?
    The main difference lies in their composition and intended use:
    • ArmaComfort Barrier P: Is a single-layer (though often self-adhesive) mass-loaded barrier, primarily for airborne noise reduction, with a pearly-white, paintable finish, making it suitable for visible applications.
    • ArmaComfort AB AL PUR: Is a multi-layer system combining an acoustic barrier with a polyurethane (PUR) foam decoupling layer, and an aluminum facing. It’s designed for both airborne and structure-borne noise, particularly for pipes, and is not typically used for visible applications due to its black/aluminum appearance.
12. Can ArmaComfort Barrier P be painted?
    Yes, the pearly-white ArmaComfort Barrier P can remain visible or be painted over with water-based acrylic products to match interior aesthetics.
13. Is ArmaComfort Barrier P environmentally friendly?
    Yes, it is 100% recyclable and manufactured free of lead, bitumen, halogen, and phosphate, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
14. Does ArmaComfort Barrier P help with flanking noise?
    Yes, when correctly fitted in plenum spaces above suspended ceilings and between partition walls, ArmaComfort Barriers (including Barrier P) are designed to minimize flanking noise, which is sound that travels along elements shared by adjacent structures.
15. What is the typical service temperature range for ArmaComfort Barrier P?
    The service temperature range for ArmaComfort Barrier P is typically from -20 °C to +80 °C.
16. How is ArmaComfort Barrier P installed on surfaces like walls?
    Installation involves cleaning and drying the substrate, peeling back the protective foil if self-adhesive, and firmly pressing the material onto the surface. For large surfaces, staggered joints are recommended. If not self-adhesive, a compatible adhesive (e.g., ArmaFlex 520 Adhesive) should be used.
17. Does it require any additional framework for installation?
    No, it is flexible and easy to process, and typically does not require additional framework, simplifying installation and saving space.
18. What certifications does ArmaComfort Barrier P hold regarding marine applications?
    ArmaComfort Barrier P (self-adhesive) is also certified according to IMO (International Maritime Organization) and UL94, indicating its suitability and safety for use in marine environments.
