Overview

Soundpad is composed of a highly flexible extensional damping material with a peel and stick adhesive layer on the contact surface. Soundpad has been designed to damp and reduce the vibration and sound transmission in light gauge metal, timber and plastic structures, thereby stopping the tinning and ringing noise created by the noise source.

Application

Soundpad is a highly effective damping pad ideal for reducing vibration and increases the transmission loss of the noise produced by the surfaces resonating at their operating cycle, such as in air-conditioning units, automotive door, floor and headlining panels, white goods industry, sinks, generator enclosures and metal deck roofs.
