	Viscoelastic Damping Materials
	Viscoelastic Damping Materials are high-energy dissipative polymers used to effectively control resonance induced vibrations in vibrating structures or devices. Viscoelastic Damping Polymers are designed to have both "Viscous" and "Elastic" characteristics; "Viscous" to damp vibrational energy by converting it to negligible heat and "Elastic" to allow it to recover after each vibration cycle repetitively. Vibration amplitudes and structure-borne noise, subsequently can be reduced. In addition to reduced noise, product fatigue and performance are enhanced. Damping Design Formats, include Free-Layer Dampers Part of a Constrained Layer Damping Design Part of a Laminate Construction Current Product Applications include Disk Drive and Automotive Constrained Layer Cover Dampers Multi-layer Laminates using Metals, Foils or Polymeric Films Suspension Dampers Vibration/Shock Isolators Panel Dampers Pipe Dampers Wing Dampers Market Applications. Computer, Aerospace, Automotive, Electrical/Mechanical Devices, Consumer Appliances, Medical Electronics and General Industrial Products Available Materials. 3M™ 110P - 2 & 5 mil 3M™ 242F - 1, & 2 mil 3M™ 2552 Damping Foil		Fabrication and Die Cutting. Although 1 to 5 mil Viscoelastic will suffice in some applications, many applications require thicker materials, some 0.500" thick and thicker. Gleicher has pioneered and developed the manufacturing technology necessary to effectively produce materials from 0.001" to 0.500" thick and thicker, giving engineers the design flexibility they need for most applications. Gleicher Fabrication Capabilities, include Multi-Layer Laminations Constraining Layer Lamination Precision Die Cutting including Thick Materials Island Placement of Visco Under Constraining Layer Precision Slitting/Scoring Introduction of Non-Silicon Liners Clean Room Packaging Outgas Reducing Post Baked HEPA Filter Ovens CAD Design & Engineering Your parts or material will arrive production ready in the format best suited to your manufacturing requirements.
