SONO SHIELD

Enhance your fire safety with SONOSHIELD

Minimising fire risk with Low contribution to fire, Low smoke and Low Toxic Gases:

SONOSHIELD® is the cutting-edge acoustic mass layer solution that has been developed by Niko to prioritise fire safety and environmental performance.

SONOSHIELD® Unmatched Fire Safety Performance for toxicity:

Carbon monoxide and Hydrogen chloride are major toxicants in fires.

Hydrogen chloride (HCL) is toxic gas evolved from burning PVC, and other chlorine containing plastics. Certain polymer-based products generate more carbon monoxide in fires.

SONOSHIELD® doesn’t contain PVC or chlorine and has lower Carbon Monoxide yields and significantly reduced smoke production when ignited and compared to traditional heavy mass layers / MLV products typically containing chlorine and PVC (Mass Loaded Vinyl - MLV) or bitumen.

Choose SONOSHIELD®: The Ultimate Low-Toxicity Heavy Mass Layers.

Fire effluent toxicity is widely recognised as a major cause of deaths and injuries in fires. Surprisingly, fire toxicity is not part of either the Euroclass or ASTM Fire Testing Systems.

SONOSHIELD® – is the ultimate heavy mass layer solution for clean burning and low toxicity. The product completely transforms into Carbon Dioxide and water vapor under optimal conditions. Just like burning a wax candle, its chemistry ensures minimal toxicity in a fire.

SONOSHIELD® is setting new standards for acoustic mass layers which makes it is ideal for use within the building envelope such as roofing systems, around ducts, pipes and as an acoustic membrane in walls, floors and ceilings.
