  • Patent number: 12664964
    Abstract: A vibration and noise damping element including a damping layer having first and second surfaces and an adhesive layer covering at least part of the first surface. The damping layer is composed of a damping layer material with a viscosity at 60° C. of 30?000-500?000 Pa*s containing at least one rubber component and the adhesive layer is composed of an adhesive layer material with a viscosity at 60° C. of 50?000-300?000 Pa*s containing at least one rubber component. The ratio of the thickness of the damping layer d1 to the adhesive layer d2 (d1/d2) is 0.6-4.0 and the sum (d1+d2) is 0.5-2.5 mm. The element shows good performance in the ball drop test at low temperatures, has good adhesion to the substrate it is applied to, provides good vibration and noise damping properties and guarantees easy separation after storage at temperatures between 30-50° C.

  • Publication number: 20240290313
    Abstract: An acoustic damping material includes at least one polybutadiene PB, at least one at 25° C. liquid rubber LR, at least one butyl rubber BR, at least one natural or synthetic polyisoprene PI, at least one hydrocarbon resin HR and at least one solid particulate filler FM. The acoustic damping material is suitable for use in damping of undesired vibrations and noise in mechanical structures and components of manufactured articles. The acoustic damping material is used for damping of vibrations and noise in transportation vehicles and white goods, and a vibration and noise damping element include an adhesive layer composed of the acoustic damping material, and a method for applying a vibration and noise damping element to a noise emitting surface of a substrate, and a vibration damped system include a substrate and the vibration and noise damping element bonded to a noise emitting surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220380629
    Abstract: An acoustic damping material includes a binder matrix which includes a bitumen component or a polymer component, and a filler component that includes at least one solid particulate cellulose-containing filler. The acoustic damping material is suitable for use in damping of undesired vibrations and noise in mechanical structures and components of manufactured articles. The acoustic damping material may be applied to damping of vibrations and noise in transportation vehicles and white goods, to a vibration and noise damping element including a damping layer composed of the acoustic damping material, to a method for applying a vibration and noise damping element to a noise emitting surface of a substrate, and to a vibration damped system comprising a substrate and the vibration and noise damping element bonded to a noise emitting surface of the substrate.
