Soundcoat Introduces Four

Lightweight Vibration

Damping Materials

The Soundcoat Company of Deer

Park, N.Y., is offering a free eight- page bulletin on constrained layer- type vibration damping materials, called Soundfoil, which the compa- ny's materials laboratory has devel- oped for control of noise and vibra- tion.

Soundfoil is described in the bul- letin as a highly efficient vibration- damping composite specially de- signed to reduce the resonant vibra- tions of thin sheet metals and thin

July, 1988 9 composite panels. It consists of an aluminum foil alloy and a viscoelas- tic damping polymer. Each of the following Soundfoils are specifically designed to control vibration under different types of environmental and temperature conditions: Sound- foil "D" for use at high tempera- tures with peak damping at 140 F to 280 F; Soundfoil "LT" for low tem- perature applications with peak damping at -40 F to 40 F; Soundfoil "M" for room temperature and be- low, with peak damping at 30 F to 100 F; and Soundfoil "N" is op- timum use at room temperature and above with peak damping at 60 F to 150 F.

These varieties of lightweight, thin vibration damping materials al- low Soundcoat to provide solutions for diverse applications such as oil pans, rocker arm covers, transform- ers, electrical appliances, business machines, cameras, ships and boats to helicopters and aerospace prod- ucts.

All Soundcoat materials are avail- able with pressure sensitive adhe- sive and can be custom-cut for fast and cost-effective production-line assembly or field retrofit.
