About BA990 Adhesive: Engineered for Acoustic Excellence
The adhesive you use to install soundproofing material is as important as the material itself. An inadequate adhesive creates gaps, allows vibration transmission, and ultimately defeats the purpose of your acoustic investment. BA990 BlastAdhesive is specifically formulated for soundproofing installations.
BA990 provides a very strong permanent bond while remaining permanently flexible. This flexibility is critical for acoustic performance - a rigid adhesive would create hard connection points that transmit vibration and sound. BA990's permanently flexible formula absorbs low frequency vibrations that would otherwise bypass your soundproofing barrier.
The waterproof formula makes BA990 suitable for marine applications, exterior installations, and any environment where moisture exposure is a concern. Combined with BlastBlock's UV-resistant materials, BA990 enables outdoor and exposed installations that would degrade with conventional adhesives.
BA990 bonds BlastBlock MLV to virtually any construction substrate: concrete, steel, wood, gypsum, and most plastics. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialty adhesives on complex projects. One product handles all your soundproofing adhesive requirements.
The non-flammable formula is important for fire-rated installations and general construction safety. BA990 can be used in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and any application where fire safety is a consideration.
Application is straightforward - BA990 has excellent slump resistance, allowing application to vertical and overhead surfaces without running or dripping. Full cure requires 7 days, during which the bond continues to strengthen. The final result is a permanent, waterproof, vibration-absorbing connection that maintains your soundproofing system's performance for the life of the installation.
BA990 Adhesive Application Guidelines
- 1Clean substrate surface - remove dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion.
- 2Temperature should be above 10°C (50°F) for proper cure.
- 3Apply BA990 in zigzag pattern covering approximately 70% of the surface.
- 4For vertical applications, apply heavier bead at top edge to prevent sliding.
- 5Position BlastBlock material immediately after adhesive application.
- 6Press firmly to ensure complete contact - use roller for best results.
- 7Support material during initial set if needed (typically 2-4 hours).
- 8Allow 7 days for full cure before maximum stress or testing.
- 9Clean tools immediately with water before adhesive cures.

BA990 is the recommended adhesive for installing BB830 series MLV to wall studs, drywall, concrete, and ceiling assemblies. The flexible bond ensures optimal acoustic performance.
Installing MLV underlayment requires an adhesive that won't become brittle or crack under foot traffic. BA990's permanent flexibility maintains the acoustic barrier over time.
Wrapping HVAC ducts and pipes with MLV requires an adhesive that bonds to metal and maintains flexibility through temperature changes. BA990 handles both requirements.
Waterproof formula makes BA990 suitable for yacht installations, exterior equipment enclosures, and any application with moisture exposure.
Large-scale soundproofing installations require consistent, professional-grade adhesive performance. BA990 delivers reliable results on commercial projects.
