Vibration Dampening, Ruggedization and Sound Attenuation
- Vibration Dampening, Ruggedization & Sound Attenuation
Materials used for minimizing the effects of vibration and impact can also be used in sound attenuation applications. Vibration or impact can cause damage to equipment and structures over time, and reducing the amount of vibration extends the life of the components and equipment. Noise reduction in work environments can improve safety, worker productivity and health, and enhances the quality of audio equipment. By using sound attenuation materials, the amount of noise that is emitted by machinery, equipment, or vehicles is reduced.
Materials include:
- Silicone
- Polyurethane
- Polyolefins
- Rogers Poron®(urethane foam)
- Rogers Bisco® (silicone foam)
