New Sound Absorption

Material From Soundcoat

Soundcoat Company, Inc., of

Deer Park, N.Y., has introduced

Soundfoam HT, a newly developed sound-absorption material made of a flexible very low density, fire- resistant polyimide foam.

It provides not only excellent sound absorption but good thermal insulation, as well as being resilient and lightweight. Usable tempera- ture range is unmatched by other noise control materials ( — 150 C to + 260 C).

When exposed to open flame,

Soundfoam HT exhibits virtually no smoke or toxic by-products, this makes it ideal for aircraft, ships, medical and combustion engine ap- plications.

Soundfoam HT is available with decorative and protective surface finishes of nomex cloth, reinforced aluminized polyester and other thin films. Also as a composite for ab- sorption. damping and barrier prop- erties. It can be custom-cut and pro- vided with high-performance pres- sure-sensitive adhesive for fast pro- duction line assembly or field retro- fitting.
