PAC International, LLC. 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]

Contents

The company introduced the first rubber isolator, the RSIC-1 (Resilient Sound Isolation Clip) product in 2000. [3] Resilient Sound Isolation Clips are 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 the PAC Line of Products is UL Classified for use in over 189 fire resistive design assemblies. [4]

RSIC family of products

RSIC and RSIC-1 are registered trademarks [5] of PAC International, Inc. RSIC has become the brand name for a family of Resilient Sound Isolation Clip products that are used extensively in residential and commercial building construction.

History

PAC International, Inc. is a privately held corporation that began over 20 years ago. The company is now headquartered in Oregon. [6]

PAC International is a company that strives to “give back” to society by exemplifying social responsibility practices, including manufacturing products in the United States and having RSIC-1 products assembled within the local community. Product assembly is performed by adults with intellectual disabilities working through Opportunity Village, a non-profit community rehabilitation organization. [7] [8] [9]
