Core Technology

RIVER PEOPLE’s SoundShield™ Acrylic Panels utilize multi-layer laminated construction:

  • 3-5 Layer Acoustic Core: Variable-density polymers disrupt sound waves (125Hz-4000Hz)

  • Impact-Resistant Surface: High impact resistance; comparative values should be confirmed against the applicable material grade and test method

  • Edge and mounting details should be designed to limit acoustic leakage; actual performance depends on the complete barrier construction and installation.

Performance Specifications

MetricPerformance Data
Sound Reduction (STC)Published range: 28–32 dB; project-specific acoustic performance should be verified for the tested construction and installation.
Light TransmissionHigh visible-light transmission is available in clear acrylic grades; exact transmission depends on thickness, grade and test method.
Density1.19 g/cm³
Operating Temp-40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82°C)
Fire RatingGrade-specific; applicable fire or flammability classification should be confirmed for the selected material.

Key Advantages vs. Traditional Barriers

✅ Visual Transparency
Maintain sightlines in sensitive areas (highways, parks, studios)

✅ Weather Resistance
Designed for outdoor use; UV/weather performance and any warranty terms should be confirmed for the selected grade and project conditions

✅ Zero-Maintenance
Non-porous surface resists graffiti, dirt, and corrosion

✅ Rapid Installation
Lower density than glass can reduce handling weight; project-specific weight depends on panel thickness and complete system design.

Industry Applications
