Section Introduction A product specifically designed to eliminate damage and noise that results from disruptive or damaging resonant vibration. The damper consists of a pressure sensitive viscolelastic polymer with a 'dead-soft' aluminium foil constraining layer and can be applied to plastic, metal panels and support structures. Used to 'quieten' for example air conditioning units, conveyors, car panels, sinks, refrigerator components either as part of the original design or as a retrofit.

Sound Deadening and Anti-Vibration Foil Ref: 91 Controlling noise and vibration is critical to conveying a quality image to buyers. In many situations, unwanted noise can be eliminated by damping vibration in various components. But how? The Solution: Engineers are increasingly specifying sound-damped metals to control unwanted productnoise. As a major supplier of viscoelastic damping polymers, 3M has been at the forefront of developments in the field of noise and vibration. Our damping Foil Tape uses constrained-layer damping to reduce vibration and subsequent noise on metal surfaces. The product is a single-sided tape with a l0-mil aluminum foil backing and a 5-mil acrylic viscoelastic damping polymer with pressure-sensitive adhesive. The tape comes on an easy-release paper liner that offers die-cut capability. The product is designed to damp resonant vibrations at their natural or resonant frequency. Full coverage of the vibrating area is not necessary. Coverage from 10-65% is effective in most applications. The polymer used in tape is designed for room temperature and controls vibration best in an ambient temperature range of 5-60° C. Potential applications include: Reducing resonant noise, vibration and fatigue in metal and plastic panels and support structures. Eliminating the potential for damaging vibration almost anywhere plastic or metal come in contact with other materials Please contact us for price and availability information.
