LIQUID NAILS Adhesive Launches New Acoustical Sound Sealant

    STRONGSVILLE, OH, June 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LIQUID NAILS Adhesive, a leading construction adhesive brand since 1962, has launched Acoustical Sound Sealant (AS-825), an elastic, durable sealant designed to reduce sound transmission in all types of wall systems.

Available alongside LIQUID NAILS Brand Drywall Adhesive (DWP-24) at building material distributors nationwide, Acoustical Sound Sealant remains flexible, has a very low odor, is VOC compliant and can be cleaned with water.

"The combination of LIQUID NAILS Acoustical Sound Sealant and Drywall Adhesive provides a complete package for wall systems," said Mike Goldstein, senior brand manager at LIQUID NAILS Adhesive. "These products help reduce drafts and deaden sound with low-VOC-emitting formulations for better indoor air quality."

Acoustical Sound Sealant, available in a 28-ounce cartridge, has been tested per ASTM E 90 for acoustical properties and per ASTM E 84 for flame spread and smoke generation.

It is non-flammable and adheres well to most construction surfaces. It maintains the specific Sound Transmission Class (STC) value of wall systems.

Acoustical Sound Sealant is recommended for use on wood, gypsum board, cementboard, oriented strand board, particleboard, drywall, steel studs, concrete, concrete masonry units (CMUs), brick, plywood, greenboard, foamboard and insulation board.
