Anti-drumming
Damping materials are specially designed to reduce vibration propagation in materials such as steel, aluminium and polyester. They are most effective when there are few conversions and with large surfaces.
What is anti-drumming?
Damping is a technique used to reduce noise pollution, especially in thin sheet materials such as aluminium, steel, and plastic. When touched, these materials can produce a disturbing noise, similar to the sound of a gong. To prevent this, the sheet materials are weighted, limiting their movement and reducing noise pollution.
How does sound insulation work?
Sound deadening works by adding weight to sheet materials, such as aluminium, steel, and plastic. When these materials are weighted, their ability to vibrate is reduced, thus reducing noise pollution. This is achieved by using sound deadening materials with higher mass that absorb vibrations. This restricts the movement of the sheet materials, resulting in less sound transmission and reduced noise pollution.
FAQ
What is drainage?
Vibration damping is the process in which a material or surface is treated to absorb vibrations and prevent resonances, especially in thin, plate-like materials such as steel sheet.
What is the difference between soundproofing and sound insulation?
Decoupling is the prevention of unwanted noise through the elimination of vibrations and resonances before they occur. Sound insulation, on the other hand, focuses on blocking airborne or contact noise that is already present.
What is the difference between anti-vibration and vibration isolation?
Degreasing reduces the vibration and resonating of a material.
On the other hand, with vibration insulation, vibrations are isolated so that they cannot spread further. The vibration source itself remains.
What applications is anti-vibration material used for?
Vibration damping material is used in a wide range of applications where vibrations and resonances cause issues. In ships and boats, it helps prevent motor noise, rolling sound, and resonances, for example through the audio system. In machinery construction, it is employed to eliminate resonances in machines or enclosures. In metal building structures with thin walls, the vibration damping material reduces the noise caused by falling raindrops.
What materials are suitable as damping material?
EASYdemp damping mats and EASYdemp Caraudio are ideally suited as damping material.
