Acoustic insulation refers to a process in which a method of soundproofing aims to block sound from entering or leaving a closed location by putting some sort of barrier between the interior and exterior. The acoustic insulation creates a barrier between the interior and exterior areas of the wall and prevents noise from entering and exiting from the area. These insulation materials are also used as heat resistance in industries. The main types of acoustic insulation products are mineral wool, glass wool, polymeric foams, and natural. Mineral wool-based acoustic insulation products are made from stone with non-directional fibre orientation and higher intensity, with the potential to control sound waves and dampen vibrations. Mineral wool insulation is widely used in the construction and pipe industries. Major end-user industries of acoustic insulation products include building and construction, transportation, oil and gas, energy and utilities, and industrial and OEM.
