Dampaste

Vibration damping technology is used on yachts, ships and other marine vehicles to reduce high levels of vibration into a lower level or to eliminate all. This is one effective way of passive noise control methods. Vibration damping materials are applied to the surface of the source of noise that spreads by vibration wave on the yachts and ships. This vibration waves are spreading unpredictable surfaces on boats to find any weak point to resonate and creates air-wave of noise.

DAMPASTE® vibration damping system formulated in 3 layer sandwich. The first layer is the ship or boat’s application surface, The second layer is DAMPASTE® viscoelastic layer of film and the third and final layer is the vibration plate (constraint layer). This vibration damping system works by lowering vibration and converting the energy of the source into very low heat, and the rest of the vibration energy travels the vibration plates by resonating and losing it’s energy.

DAMPASTE® works excellent specifically on surfaces thicker than 6,0 mm for vibration damping. For example, on yachts’ bare aluminum surface damping loss factor is 0,006 while using DAMPASTE® this coefficient raises up to 0,1.

DAMPASTE® viscoelastic damping has high damping coefficient. 0,1 damping factor means 20 dB of lowering noise in environment. Directly applicable to any surface such as metal,composite and plastic and DAMPASTE® is resistant to oil, diesel . sea water; with a excellent adhesion quality to the surface. Depending on the application surface; a constraint layer (steel or aluminum vibration plates) is easily applied. Currently, over 100 yacht or vessel has DAMPASTE® vibration damping system. In the beginning of building ship or yacht building, you can supply comfort by applying DAMPASTE®.
