Viscoelastic Damping Polymers
have been proven to reduce vibration
in automobiles, disk drives, and
aircraft. Through continuous
improvement, 3M can now offer
you a choice of standard damping
polymers or ultra-pure damping
polymers to expand application
possibilities to include the following:
Cover constrained layer dampers;
multi-layer laminates using metal or
polymeric films; free layer dampers;
suspension dampers; isolators; panel,
pipe, and wing dampers; and more.
Market Application Ideas
• Automotive including body panels
and under the hood.
• Aerospace including space craft
and commercial aircraft.
• Electronics including disk drives.
• Sporting goods including golf
clubs and tennis racquets.
• Appliances including washing
machines.
Performance Versatility
• Choice of enhanced acrylic polymer
for improved vibration damping or
ultra-pure polymer for improved
vibration damping, plus low out
gassing and ionics.
• Choice of good to excellent thermal
stability for long term applications
at moderate temperatures, or short
term high temperature exposure.
• Damping in temperatures ranging
from as low as 0°C (32°F) to as
high as 105°C (221°F).
• Select Loss Factor and Storage
Modulus values to meet
requirements.
