The 3M Viscoelastic Damping Polymer is an acrylic, polymer based material that is useful in reducing vibration and shock problems in various applications. It offers good thermal stability and performance at various temperatures. Common applications include electronics, appliances, automobiles and aircraft.Versatile Damping Solutions
The 3M™ Viscoelastic Damping Polymer is specifically designed to help reduce vibration and shock problems in electronics, appliance, automobiles and aircraft. Featuring liners of various thickness, the damping polymer is a versatile material that can be adapted to a variety of applications. Each damping polymer is enhanced for thermal stability and damping performance for long term applications at moderate temperature and short term applications at high temperature. Other potential applications of our 3M™ Viscoelastic Damping Polymer is with disk drives, multi-layer laminates using metals or polymeric films, as an isolator or as a panel, pipe or wing damper.
Recommended Application
- Vibration and shock isolation
- Cover constrained layer damper
- Free layer damper
- Suspension damper
- Panel, pipe and wing damper
Standard and Ultra-Pure Performance
3M™ Viscoelastic Damping Polymers are available in standard and ultra-pure construction. Standard damping polymers feature an enhanced acrylic polymer for improved vibration damping. The ultra-pure polymer has the added benefit of low outgassing and ionics. Choose the damping polymer construction to meet the needs of your specific application.
