Excessive noise can lead to a large amount of frustration and distraction within any space. Therefore, it is important to consider vibration damping in order to help with the noise control. This article is will be going into further detail in regard to the different damping compounds and vibration damping sheets that can be used in order to isolate as much noise as possible. while keeping machinery safe in the long run. Continue reading below to learn more.

What are vibration damping pads?

Vibration damping sheets are necessary for the protection of machines while vibration damping pads absorb energy from the vibration control pads. The dampening depends upon a number of factors like the mass, frequency of vibration, and the surface area and hence the selection of the vibration absorber has to be done carefully.

What are vibration damping compounds?

Vibration damping compounds are water based which is why these are especially recommended for new construction and for equipment that requires superior flame and smoke resistant materials.
Types of damping materials:

• Rubber

Rubber is the most ideal material when it comes to vibration damping applications. This is due to the fact it absorbs energy before re-releasing it into the environment as heat, which helps quickly isolate vibration. In addition to this, rubber also absorbs energy and release it as heat, which makes it an ideal material for isolating vibration energy.

• Polyurethane

In this case, polyurethane is one of the newer material options in the vibration damping space. More modern substances like foam and foam-like polyurethane products can absorb a system’s excess energy. Polyurethane products’ cell structures and densities can even be custom-engineered to fit specific applications.

• Polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride sheets offer superior chemical resistance and serve to quickly absorb vibrations. These products are typically utilized as sound barriers, but may also be used to damp vibrations on enclosure surfaces.
