ALL BLACK FIBER WITH BLACK MAT FINISH
SelectSound Black acoustic blanket is an all black fiber
product with a black mat surface. It is excellent for
eliminating light reflections while providing outstanding
acoustical performance.
OUTSTANDING ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE
SelectSound Black acoustic blanket provides excellent
acoustical performance for walls in multiplex theaters,
sound studios and performing arts centers. SelectSound
Black acoustic blanket is also ideal for use above suspended
metal ceiling systems. Depending on specified thickness,
SelectSound Black acoustic blanket absorbs up to 80% of
the sound striking its surface.
SelectSound Black acoustic blanket helps provide the
highest quality audio reproduction by reducing sound
reverberation within spaces. Sound transfer from space to
space is also noticeably reduced.
DURABLE MATERIAL COMPOSITION
SelectSound Black acoustic blanket is dimensionally stable
and will not shrink or warp. The blanket’s resilient
composition resists job-site damage. Composed of a mix of
glass fibers, SelectSound Black acoustic blanket will not rot or
mildew and is noncorrosive to steel, copper and aluminum.
As manufactured, fiber glass insulation is resistant to mold
growth, however, mold growth can occur on building
materials, including insulation, when it becomes
contaminated with organic material and when water is
present. To avoid mold growth on fiber glass insulation,
remove any water that has accumulated and correct or
repair the source of the water as soon as possible.
Insulation that has become wet should be inspected for
evidence of residual moisture and contamination, and any
insulation that is contaminated should be promptly removed
and replaced.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Acoustical performance of interior surfaces can generally be
improved by increasing product thickness. SelectSound Black
acoustic blanket can be specified for use in conjunction with
other Owens Corning acoustical material to provide
additional performance.

When wet, coated surfaces in contact with galvanized steel may cause discoloration of the sheet metal.
The surface burning characteristics of these products have been determined in
accordance with UL 723 and CAN/ULC-S102-M. These standards should be used
to measure and describe the properties of materials, products or assemblies in
response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not
be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products or
assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of this test may be used as
elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which
