Noise
and Sound Control Absorption and Barrier Composites |

Details:
Art-Composite is a noise
control material specifically designed to
achieve maximum attenuation over a broad
frequency range. Art-Composite combines
dense, limp, flexible, non-lead loaded barriers
with Art-Mat foams providing a total
noise control system. Unlike other composites
available, these multilayer systems are
manufactured without costly adhesives, thus
eliminating the potential for failure between
layers. Designed by acoustical engineers, Art-Composite has been optimized to
economically provide:
- High
Transmission Loss -the barrier's ability
to impede airborne noise.
- High
Noise Reduction Coefficients -the foam's
ability to absorb airborne sound energy
with minimum
reflections. (See Art-Mat brochure for
absorption data).
- Damping -the composite's ability to
attenuate structure-borne vibration on
metals and plastics thereby
reducing reradiated noise and material
fatigue.
The diversity of constructions
makes possible engineered solutions for most
OEM and in-plant applications. Art-Composite is available with single
and double layer septums, various barrier
weights, foam thicknesses and a variety of
surface treatments. Art-Composite is
available in rolls, sheets, die cut or
fabricated to customer specifications or can be
easily field cut with a knife or scissors.
These composites can be adhered to the
substrate with factory supplied, economical,
SBR pressure sensitive adhesive or an acrylic
based pressure sensitive adhesive for
temperatures up to 250°F. It is
recommended that a contact adhesive or
mechanical fasteners be used for these heavily
loaded composites in overhead applications. |

Art-Composite non-reinforced barrier septum is a flexible
vinyl used by itself or in combination with
absorptive material as an additive mass
treatment for existing equipment enclosures or
housings, and as a pipe or duct wrap. Art-Composite reinforced vinyl is used
in conjunction with grommets and Velcro to
provide a suspended enclosure for in-plant
applications. It is available with quilted or
encapsulated fiberglass for added absorption
and to meet Class A flammability
requirements.

WM1 combines a single barrier
layer with a single layer of Art-Mat acoustical foam. When the barrier is applied to sheet
metal, plastic, or wood, the foam is exposed to
absorb airborne noise. The barrier functions to both
contain sound and damp structure borne
vibrations. |
When the foam is applied to the
structure the barrier is decoupled. The exposed
barrier becomes a tough, durable surface with
enhanced transmission loss properties. Often a facing
will be laminated to the barrier to increase both
durability and weatherability when used as a pipe
wrap. |
When a 1/4" or 1/2" foam decoupler
is incorporated WM1 is frequently used as a
carpet underlayment. When moisture is of concern, as
in the case of a marine or truck cab application,
closed cell foams can be used. |

WM2 is a sandwich
composite incorporating 2 layers of Art-Mat
acoustical foam and a single barrier septum.
When applied to sheet metal, plastic, or wood,
the isolation foam layer, typically 1/4" thick,
decouples the barrier while the thicker
absorption layer reduces airborne sound. This
economical acoustical system can be formulated
to provide maximum noise reduction in the
harshest environment by adding various facings
or embossed surfaces. |

Art-Composite Safe and Sound:
combines a specially formulated
barrier with high temperature melamine foam.
The mechanical bond between the foam and
barrier eliminates the potential for adhesive
failure and enhances the flammability and smoke
characteristics. The light weight melamine foam
meets the low smoke (16.9) and flame spread
(2.5) of ASTM-E84.
This environmentally safe and
acoustically sound composite meets the strict
requirement of ASTM-E162-90 and ASTM-E-662-93
for the trans- portation and rail industry. |

Art-Composite Floormat:
is similar in construction to
WM1. A single layer of open or closed cell
foam, typically 1/4" or 1/2", is combined with
a barrier. On top of the barrier is a durable
wear resistant surface which is applied without
the aid of adhesives that fail under the
extreme conditions floormats are subject
to.
Style HEW has a deep twist
grain wear surface to stand up to heavily
traveled and severe environments.
Style PGW is a more economical
floormat with a pebble grain embossed wear
surface.
Standard applications are
trucks, busses, construction equipment, and
agriculture machinery as well as runners and
fatigue mats. |
