Noise Control Curtains Made for Industrial Use

When you hear the words “industrial” or “industrial use”, certain expectations come to mind with regards to the conditions involved and the products that are made to handle them.  

In this article, we want to explore exactly what the term industrial use means and show why the noise control curtains made for industrial use by Flexshield are a good choice when you’re dealing with this type of environment.

What does “industrial use” mean?

As we all do these days for research, let’s turn to Google to see if it can paint a clearer picture of the sort of conditions associated with the words industrial and industrial use.

While there are plenty of results for terms like these, the general idea is that “industrial” is typically used to describe an environment where the working conditions are outside of what may be considered optimal or even controlled. Industrial environments are therefore considered harsher than the average work environment, with the workers and equipment they use often exposed to extreme ranges of heat, humidity, wind, dust, noise, and many other factors. 

Examples of industrial uses that pop up in such a search include:

• Metal processing
• Pulp and paper processing
• Mining for minerals and oils
• Fibres and textile processing
• Food processing and production
• Plastics, paints, inks and coatings production
• Construction

Properties of noise control curtains for made for industrial use

When you think about those industrial examples listed above, you can start to gain an appreciation for the type of properties products like noise control curtains made for industrial use must have.

Let’s take mining for example. In Australia, most mining operations are conducted in remote parts of the country notorious for the brutal conditions that prevail. First of all, there are the temperature extremes, with long, hot days followed by sharp drops leading to cold nights. With the sun belting down on these areas and very little rainfall, there’s also constant UV exposure and typically dry, dusty surface conditions. The nature of mining operations also means that aggressive chemicals are used and produced in abundance, which obviously poses significant threats to equipment through chemical corrosion and other forms of damage.
