DESCRIPTION
Dynamat Xtreme is a patented, light-weight, elastomeric, butyl and
aluminum constrained-layer vibrational damper.
Dynamat Xtreme conforms and
fuses easily to sheet metal
and other hard substrates. Material performance
is
optimized for temperature ranges between -10¡ÆC to +60¡ÆC (14¡ÆF
to+140¡ÆF). Material can withstand temperature
extremes between -54¡ÆC to
+149¡ÆC (-65¡ÆF to +300¡ÆF) and
is highly resistant to aging.
ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES
The acoustic loss factor ¡°n¡± is used as a measure of ability to damp
structure-borne sound. It states how much
vibrational energy (in steel sheets
for instance) is
converted to heat rather than sound. For
constructions
containing several layers of damping material, the combined
loss factor ¡°n comb¡± is used. The theoretical
maximum loss factor is 1 (no
vibration). An undamped
1mm thick steel panel has a loss factor of roughly
0.001
at 200 Hz. Dynamat Xtreme applied to that panel would increase the
loss factor to 0.417 at +20¡ÆC (+68¡ÆF).
Multiple layers of Dynamat Xtreme
can be used to
improve sound damping further.
APPLICATIONS
Dynamat Xtreme can be die cut to shape and placed onto the body
surface after sheet metal cleaning operation and
prior to paint system
(typically at the sealer application
operation) or on painted panels. Dynamat
Xtreme is used
as treatment for metal panels, partitions, ducts, doors,
bins,
panels etc. in railroad cars, buses, automobiles and ships. It is
also used for ventilation ducts, relay cabinets, steel
furniture, home
appliances, sink units, computer
equipment, machine tools and for many other
purposes.
INSTALLATION
Dynamat Xtreme should be cut to the desired size before the release
liner is removed. It may be cut with scissors,
knife or die. Remove dust,
grease, moisture, and other
foreign matter from the application surface. Peel
off the
release liner. The simplest application technique is to bend the
mat slightly and attach it along its shortest edge. The
mat is then pressed
firmly into place, preferably with a
roller for larger pieces. This reduces
the risk of leaving air
pockets, which reduce the sound damping capacity.
The
temperature of the mat and application surface should not be below
room temperature during fitting. Heating the material is not necessary.
