M.A.D. 6 SELF-ADHESIVE
6mm Self-Adhesive bituminous membrane for low frequency acoustic insulation.
Product variations:


Bituminous sheet reinforced with mineral fillers, coated on one side with a self-adhesive mastic finished with an anti-adherent film and on the other side with a high-density polyethylene film. Acoustically it functions as a plastic element between rigid elements, being an effective substitute for lead; between spring elements it functions as a membrane resonator (typical absorber at low frequencies).
Instruction for Use
Preliminary operations
Note: DPS: Sound Insulation Installation Manual. Details of Singular Points.
- Following the instructions and recommendations of the plasterboard manufacturers, the profiles should be fixed to the substrate including sealing strips.
- On the ceiling, the mechanical strength of the damper and profile system must first be checked.
- The first plasterboard is then fixed to the supporting structure with a sheet metal screw.
- Make sure that this board is dry, clean and free of foreign bodies.
- Start by cutting complete pieces of Danosa Acoustic Membrane M.A.D.6 self-adhesive to the same size as the height of the partition wall. The remnants will be used in the smaller panels or for finishing.
- The anti-adhesive film is removed from the top of the piece.
- Once the piece has been placed square to the facing, the membrane is pressed tightly against the laminated plaster, avoiding any wrinkles.
- In the same way, the anti-adherent film is removed while the membrane is pressed to the plasterboard until the cut piece is completed.
- To maintain the continuity of the membrane, the MAD has a recess at the edges that must be matched.
- Â The second plasterboard is screwed to the supporting structure with sheet metal screws.
- It is important to butt the joints with the first board, to avoid loss of watertightness.
- Start by cutting pieces of self-adhesive Danosa Acoustic Membrane M.A.D.6 transversally to the roll at a distance of 1.2m. This produces pieces of 1 x 1.2 m2. The remnants will be used in the smaller panels or for finishing.
- It can be applied with a mechanical fixing system or with gluing systems following the steps described in the wall application method.
- It is possible to work directly on the ceiling by fixing the membrane to the first plasterboard or, on the other hand, to work on the floor by applying the membrane to the second board.
- In the latter case, after fixing the membrane with staples or glue, the membrane and the second board are lifted by means of a mechanical lift.
- This assembly is then screwed to the primary-secondary roof structure with sheet metal screws.
It is important to butt the joints with the first plate to avoid leakage.
