  • Multilayer tape
    Patent number: 11713406
    Abstract: Vibration damping viscoelastic damping material laminates are described. The tapes generally include at least two viscoelastic damping material layers and at least one substrate. The tapes may optionally include one or more release liners. Also described are constrained layer systems formed by adhering the tape to a first substrate and/or second substrate undergoing vibration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2023
    Assignee: Avery Dennison Corporation
    Inventors: Henry W. Milliman, Joseph L. Meckler, Mahesh Ganesan, Luke N. Johnson
  • Partial coverage multilayer damping laminate
    Patent number: 11701863
    Abstract: Provided herein are multilayer damping laminates comprising at least one constraining layer and at least one discontinuous damping layer. At least one discontinuous damping layer comprises one or more damping material regions and one or more gap regions, wherein the percent coverage of at least one discontinuous damping layer by one or more damping material regions is less than 99%. Also provided are systems and methods using the multilayer damping laminates.

  • BUTYL RUBBER BASED PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES
    Publication number: 20220220347
    Abstract: Provided herein are butyl rubber based pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprising low molecular weight polyisobutylene oligomers and a multifunctional crosslinker. These adhesive compositions can exhibit high adhesion and shear resistance without requiring curing at high temperature to provide the compositions with these advantageous performance properties. Also provided are adhesive tapes and methods using the disclosed adhesive compositions.

  • Multilayer constrained-layer damping
    Patent number: 11059264
    Abstract: Provided herein is are multilayer damping laminates comprising alternating damping and constraining layers. The materials and configurations of the damping layers are selected such that the damping layers have a decreasing glass transition temperature profile beginning at the first damping layer, allowing the laminates to effectively dissipate vibrations over a wider range of operating temperatures and/or frequencies. Also provided are systems and methods using the multilayer damping laminates.
