Manufactured in India, supplied in Malaysia
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Malaysia
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Malaysia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang or Penang, both well served from western India.

We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Malaysia 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 Malaysia is mostly electronics and manufacturing plants, hotels and resorts, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- 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 Malaysia.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems

On a Malaysia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Malaysia briefs
- Plants and clean areas
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything.
- Tropical humidity year round
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years.
- Cooling loads never stop
Continuous mechanical plant close to occupied space causes more complaints than the rooms themselves.
- Two well served ports
Port Klang and Penang both run frequently from India, so we can route to whichever suits your site.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- The studio and content scene
A growing content and music sector working out of shop lots and commercial floors with thin partitions.
For a Malaysia practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Malaysia climate rules in and rules out
Malaysia 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.
For a Malaysia interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Malaysia, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Klang or Penang, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Klang |
| 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 Port Klang or Penang, then road to site. 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 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Malaysia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Malaysia: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl made in Malaysia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Malaysia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang or Penang, both well served from western India. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Malaysia job?
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Malaysia weather shorten the life of this material?
Malaysia 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.
How does an order actually travel to Malaysia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Klang or Penang, then road to site, 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.
What should you not buy soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl for?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
