We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ho Chi Minh City. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Ho Chi Minh City job
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Ho Chi Minh City is mostly tube houses and apartments, towers and offices, manufacturing, hotels, schools, clinics.
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Ho Chi Minh City.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Ho Chi Minh City project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Ho Chi Minh City do to the specification
- Narrow, deep, shared on both sides
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once.
- Traffic never stops
Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall.
- New towers, hard interiors
Concrete frames with tile and glass inside. The structure blocks, the room rings.
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- The housing stock
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- The studio and content scene
A fast growing content scene works out of rooms in tube houses and commercial floors with thin partitions.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Ho Chi Minh City changes the material, not the target
Ho Chi Minh City is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Ho Chi Minh City, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Cat Lai or Cai Mep |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders.
| 2.5 mm and 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m |
|---|---|
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.
06 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

Suppliers who imply a Ho Chi Minh City presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Ho Chi Minh City: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl made in Ho Chi Minh City?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ho Chi Minh City as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Ho Chi Minh City build-up differ from anywhere else?
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once. Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Ho Chi Minh City climate affect this product?
Ho Chi Minh City is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Ho Chi Minh City?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Where do soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl fail to help?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders. 2.5 mm and 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.

Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
