- Effective vibration decoupling
- Resistant to water, oils and chemicals
- Does not absorb moisture or crumble
- Suitable for industrial loads
- Remains stable over time
- Zero maintenance
Why this product
Unlike materials that only absorb sound, Palziv works on the principle of mechanical decoupling (isolation), which significantly reduces vibration and structure-borne noise – especially in heavy machinery, compressors and HVAC systems.
This solution is suited to locations where the problem is not just airborne noise – but vibration travelling through the structure.
Technical product description
The Palziv PA30 board is a microcellular expanded polyolefin foam based on closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
Its unique structure provides:
- Vibration energy damping
- Reduced vibration transfer through structures
- Reduced transmission of structure-borne noise
The material acts as an elastic decoupling (isolation) layer that separates the noise source from the structural element, thereby reducing the transfer of mechanical and acoustic energy.
Thanks to its mechanical and elastic properties, PA30 is particularly suited to applications involving floating bases (floating systems), mechanical systems and vibrating industrial equipment.
Applications
- Machinery noise insulation
- Compressors and chillers
- Air-conditioning systems (HVAC)
- Machine rooms
- Industrial facilities
- Jacuzzis and vibrating systems
- Acoustic bases (floating floors)

Installation
Lay the boards on a stable surface (concrete/floor)

Optionally, pour concrete on top (floating base)
Install the equipment on top of the insulation layer
For industrial applications, we recommend combining the boards with proper load design or shock absorbers.
