Metal jacketing is essential to ensure that both temperature and acoustical barrier expectations are met, particularly within the oil & gas industry. The environmental impact of such protection can be high but BS Stainless have developed Soundmet® with this fact in mind; a metal jacketing solution is designed to impact minimally on the environment, making it one of the greenest available solutions for a wide range of applications.
Soundmet offers several distinct environmental benefits as compared to traditional lead (which has potential health risks) and mineral wool (which is sent to landfill after use) acoustic barriers. BS Stainless, in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, engineered and developed the Eco Seal, a wing seal that secures metal jacketing. This seal has been expertly manufactured using 20% less material than standard seals, saving energy usage during production and shipping. Soundmet® uses a great deal less packaging than more traditional metal jacketing solutions, reducing the amount of energy used during storage and shipping.
Mass-loaded vinyl, when laminated to aluminium or stainless steel using the unique Soundmet process from BS Stainless, can reduce environmental impact. The product offers a wide range of both production-based and logistic benefits, providing an ideal acoustic metal jacketing solution that has guaranteed green credentials.
