A new benchmark for responsible acoustic materials.
As sustainability becomes an essential pillar in the transformation of the mobility industries, material choices are evolving. MAC020 was created to support this shift by combining acoustic performance, natural innovation and responsible sourcing in a single solution.
In line with these priorities, MAC020 is now available in an FSC® certified version. This ensures that the natural component of the Heavy Mass Layer follows recognised and independently verified sustainability principles that support responsible forest management.
How cork enables an FSC® certified MAC020 Heavy Mass Layer
Cork is central to the structure and performance of MAC020.
Its closed-cell, air-filled structure provides natural vibration damping and sound reduction, making it an efficient material for improving acoustic comfort across mobility and marine applications. These inherent properties help reduce structural noise transmission while ensuring stable performance over time.
With the introduction of an FSC® certified version, MAC020 now incorporates recognised responsible sourcing principles into a highly technical acoustic solution. FSC® certification provides credible environmental assurance for the natural component of the material and strengthens the transparency of its sustainability profile.
By offering MAC020 in an FSC® certified version, the product maintains its natural performance and renewable origins while aligning with growing expectations for responsible material choices.
Why Choose MAC020, a Heavy Mass Layer with Cork
1. Acoustic performance
Cork’s air-filled cellular structure naturally reduces vibration and structural noise, improving overall acoustic comfort.
2. Thermal resistance
Its low thermal conductivity provides stable thermal behaviour, even at higher temperatures.
3. Lightweight
With more than half its volume made of air, cork offers a lighter alternative to traditional heavy layers without compromising performance.
4. Sustainability
Cork is natural, renewable and recyclable, and cork oak forests are recognised carbon sinks. MAC020 is also available in an FSC® certified version that supports responsible forest management and verified environmental assurance.
5. Durability
Cork maintains its acoustic and thermal properties over time, ensuring long-lasting performance.
