Siderise FIP – High Performance Acoustic Panel – Technical Data

Version: 1.00 - Release Date: May 2020

Application

SIDERISE FIP high-performance acoustic panel is a thin multi-layered board offering exceptional sound transmission performance and has been specifically developed to provide a solution where an internal partition abuts a curtain wall or window mullion. 
 
Due to the impressive 46dB Rw performance at only 31mm thickness, the SIDERISE FIP high-performance acoustic panel can also be used in many other conditions that demand the combination of a high SRI performance with a minimal thickness. 
 
This simple yet effective solution has been used on a number of projects which include hotels, residential, government, and commercial buildings in both the UK and overseas.

Product Description

SIDERISE FIP high-performance acoustic panel is a bonded composite material comprising four primary layers that are bonded together to offer a combination of stiffness and damping within a high mass panel, with a nominal thickness of only 31mm. 
 
The layers include a high mass cementitious boards either side of a central heavy elastomeric core. 
 
A unique bonding technique is used to ensure that the finished composite is heavily damped, resulting in a product with good performance at lower frequencies (stiffness and dampening controlled regions) and no ‘drop-off’ due to coincidence dip.

 
Supply form
 
The product is usually supplied in standard lengths of 2400mm or 2800mm* at the required width between 100mm minimum to 600mm maximum. 
 
As standard, the product is nominally 31mm o/a thickness with a surface mass of 46kg/m2 
 
* The product is manufactured to order and a standard length of 2400mm would normally apply. For large quantities a 2800mm length option is available. The maximum size available is, therefore, 2400mm x 600mm (standard) or 2800mm x 600mm (large project quantities).
 
Due to the weight of the product the panels can also be supplied in two sections at half thickness, nominal 16mm each, for combining during installation on site. 
 
Other non-standard thickness and weight combinations are also available*. 
 
*Non tested configurations. Assessed performance values only.
 
Finish 
 
As standard, SIDERISE FIP is supplied unfinished to be separately clad with a thin covering (e.g. decorative laminate or coated metal plate). Normally a decorative covering is applied to both sides.

Fire Performance

SIDERISE FIP high performance acoustic panel comprises boards which are inherently non-combustible and is considered fire safe.  
 
SIDERISE FIP has been tested to the temperature and pressure conditions of BS EN 1363 Part 1: 2012, and the test principles of BS EN 1366 Part4: 2006 and achieved a 60/60 rating, (E) Integrity was in excess of 80 minutes. Test report BMT/FEI/ F15081 refers. 
 
From this test data the standard SIDERISE FIP panel can offer the following fire resistance ratings: 60 minutes (E) Integrity and 60 minutes (I) Insulation.  
 
Higher performance ratings may be possible from formal assessment of specific project details and construction materials.

Acoustic Performance

SIDERISE FIP high-performance acoustic panel has been tested to BS EN ISO 140-3:1995 & assessed to BS EN ISO 717-1:1997 and achieved 46dB Rw performance. 
 
The octave graph shows a nearly straight line, highlighting its efficient performance in the ‘stiffness’ and ‘dampening’ controlled area of the ‘SRI curve’ and ‘No Coincidence Dip’ within the 50Hz - 10,000Hz range. Third Octave data is available on request. 
 
SIDERISE FIP has been independently tested at UKAS accredited Sound Research Laboratory and achieved Rw (C:Ctr) = 46 (-2; -7) dB

When SIDERISE FIP is used in combination with a partition offering a 50dB Rw performance, no measurable loss in total room-to-room separation is expected. Even if the partition value increases to 55dB Rw, the overall performance is only reduced by 1dB. By comparison, for conventional infill materials this value would be nearer to a 10dB reduction. The practical airborne sound separation achieved between adjoining areas is often limited by the weakest element(s).
