Sound Insulation also reduces vibration.

Press Release Summary:




NRG Damp(TM) composite material includes two or more metallic substrates surrounding engineered viscoelastic core. It works by micro-shear deformation of its viscoelastic core, which dissipates vibrational energy. It may be formed by stamping, drawing, bending, or roll forming with no loss of performance and no delamination. Applications include quieting and reducing vibration in racks, chassis, enclosures and other electronic components.

NRG Damp(TM) Constrained Layer Composite for Electrical/Electronic Equipment Quieting



MSC Engineered Materials and Solutions Group announces immediate availability of NRG Damp(TM), a sound-damping and vibration-reducing composite material, comprising two or more metallic substrates surrounding an engineered viscoelastic core.

Applications have been identified throughout the electrical/electronic OEM for NRG Damp and the material is already in use, quieting and reducing vibration in racks, chassis, enclosures and other components.

NRG Damp material may be formed by stamping, drawing, bending or roll forming with no loss of performance and no delamination. It also accepts welding, secondary finishing and various fastening methods.

This unique material functions by micro-shear deformation of the viscoelastic core, which dissipates vibrational energy.

On one hard disk drive cover, its use also eliminated 16 manufacturing steps, versus the previously used add-on damping treatment method, with a corresponding 2-3 dBa improvement.

NRG Damp is available in coil, sheet or finished parts to customer specification.
