Sound Damping Material Used in Construction

    Sound Damping Sheets

    • Sound damping sheets come in two styles, both with adhesive backing and easy to cut to the desired shape and size. One style, made of asphaltic mastic, is flame resistant with a temperature range of -30 to 400 degrees. The second style is a PVC vinyl-based material that is resistant to many chemicals. Both damping sheet styles work on metal and machinery on the job site, such as chutes, bins, hoppers, motor housings, belt housing guards, metal ducts, office furniture, machine cabinets, air conditioners, ventilating fans and vehicle parts.

    Sound Damping Compound

    • You can apply a liquid, visco-elastic sound-damping compound with a sprayer, brush or trowel. When applied to nearly any clean surface, this product cures in 4 to 24 hours, reducing sound from ducts, doors and metal partitions. The material is non-combustible and does not generate fumes or smoke during application.

    Sound Damping Foam

    • Industrial quality acoustical foam sheets, made of flat urethane foam, are lightweight and efficient at absorbing sound and vibration in equipment and walls. Polyurethane-based convoluted foam has a cone-shaped surface that is highly absorptive. You can apply convoluted foam to nearly any surface, but is ideal for lining machines, cabinets, walls, enclosures, computer rooms and offices.

    Sound Damping Panels

    • Sound damping panels come in bulk rolls the size of blankets. You can hang the panels on walls, doors and windows. The panels come in a few color choices and are 1 to 2 inches thick. A high-temperature silicone coating covers the outer side of the panels, giving the product a Class 1 fire-rating as well as a strong and impervious surface.
