Damping Compound for Noise Control by ArtUSA

Model Damping Compound Damping Compound is a water based visco-elastic damping compound that reduces structure-borne vibration in a variety of materials.  By imparting vibration damping and a shift in the dominant frequency, the resulting noise reduction provides a means of improving the noise transmission loss in many applications.  It also improves the fatigue life of treated surfaces and is typically used in new construction and equipment requiring damping treatment plus superior flame spread and smoke density ratings.  It comes in a neutral color, is paintable and is available with an anti-static additive.  It meets FMVSS 302 and is ideal for use in bus, rail, and marine applications.  It is typically used in fan and blower housings, ductwork, bins, chutes, hoppers, machine guards, and stadium seating.

  • Tough, durable and paintable
  • Easily applied with trowel, brush, or spray
  • Use on metal, plastic, glass, and ceramic surfaces
  • Flame Spread: 0 and Smoke Density: 0
    (per ASTM E-84 )

 

 

 

Also look at Decibel Drop

 

Decibel Drop, a high-performance viscoelastic damping compound that decreases the sound traveling to adjacent rooms. Decibel Drop is appropriate for use in commercial spaces, broadcast/audio facilities, home theaters and multifamily dwellings.

Decibel Drop is an economical solution for reducing sound transmission into adjacent interior areas for both new construction and retrofit applications," says Joerg Hutmacher, business unit manager, illbruck acoustic.

Decibel Drop is Class 1 fire-rated. The product provides superior acoustic control in low frequencies and has a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 50 to 62, depending on the construction configuration.

Decibel Drop is easy to install between layers of drywall or plywood in walls and ceilings or between layers of subflooring. The product comes in a cartridge and is applied with a standard caulk gun. Two to three cartridges cover 32 square feet, applied randomly over the drywall surface area.
