December 20, 2004—Originally developed as a clear fire barrier, SAFTI’s SuperLite II-XL has found a new application as a clear acoustic barrier. New applications for this multi-functional product are sound studios, manufacturing facilities, libraries, airports, and commercial buildings—anywhere environmental noise abatement and visibility are desired, says SAFTI, a division of O’Keeffe’s.
The Sound Transmission Class rating for this product, determined in accordance with ASTM E413-87 by Western Electro-Acoustic Laboratory, is STC 49, which means there is a subjective loudness reduction of approximately 96%.
In addition to its ability to protect against fire and harmful decibels, SuperLite II-XL can be customized to provide security (ballistic, bomb-blast, attack-resistance), energy efficiency (solar, reflective), and aesthetic detail (etched, sandblasted, tinted, frosted, mirrored, etc.).
SuperLite II-XL features a non-toxic, gel-filled construction and is fully tested and fully code-approved for fire-rated applications up to 120 minutes, according to SAFTI. All SuperLite II-XL products meet the stringent wall standard and can be used without limitations. These products provide the maximum life safety, property protection, and design flexibility (floor-to-ceiling), and now the maximum sound reduction.
