PAC International, Inc. manufactures a complete line of acoustical noise control products for use in residential (single-family housing and multiple-family housing) and commercial building construction.[1][2]
The company introduced the first rubber isolator, the RSIC-1 (Resilient Sound Isolation Clip) product in 2000.[3] Resilient Sound Isolation Clips are manufactured in the United States and sold throughout the Americas. RSIC-1 was engineered to provide noise control and be both cost effective and environmentally friendly.
PAC International’s noise control products help buildings exceed the International Building Code requirements for both fire and sound. The RSIC-1 product is the only noise control product classified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for both fire and sound[citation needed]; and RSIC-1 is UL Classified for use in over 75 fire resistive design assemblies.[4]
