Vibration Damping Compound is a water based co-polymer emulsion, with

Application

Vibration Damping Compound is deigned for use in areas where a continuous membrane is required to damp noise and vibration from steel, aluminium and other non ferrous metals. It is used extensively on large surface areas e.g., floors and body-sides of railway carriages, air conditioning equipment and contoured metal surfaces.

Surface and Air Temperature

Vibration Damping Compound is suitable for use on substrates when the air and surface temperature is rising between 2ºC and 45ºC. Air and surface temperature should also be at least 2ºC above dewpoint.

Fire Performance

Vibration Damping Compound complies with the Class ‘O’ requirements of the Building Regulations, when tested to BS476: Part 6: 1981 and Part 7: 1987.

Acoustic Performance

At 22ºC, Vibration Damping Compound has a Damping Coefficient Decay Rate of 25dB/sec at 3.1kg/m², when tested to BS, AU 125: 1966.

Dimensions and Density

Coverage

On flat surfaces, 1.5 litres of wet compound will cover approximately 1m² at 1mm thick.

Chemical Resistance

After 10 days total immersion in the following chemicals, Vibration Damping Compound was found to be resistant to: 10% solutions of Hydrochloric, Nitric and Sulphuric acid, 10% solutions of Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide, Xylene and Acetone. Vibration Damping Compound is mildly alkaline at approximately pH9.

Storage

Vibration Damping Compound should be protected from frost and excessive heat. Avoid exposure to radiant sunlight. Store at temperatures between 4ºC and 45ºC. Use within 6 months of purchase.

Application

Inspect substrate prior to application and remove loose material, flaking paint, dust, oil, grease, etc

1. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Treat bare steel surfaces with a suitable alkali resistant primer.
3. Stir Vibration Damping Compound thoroughly before use – do not thin with additives.
4. Apply suing industrial heavy material spray equipment, or by trowel for small areas.
5. Spray or trowel on the first coat up to 3mm wet thickness.
6. Allow to dry completely.
7. If a thicker coat is required, build up the thickness by applying additional coats in 3mm wet thickness layers. Each layer much be allowed to dry completely before the next is applied.
8. Repair any damage by spraying or troweling over the affected area.

Safety Precautions

1. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and the inhalation of spray mist. It is recommended that gloves, goggles, face mask and barrier cream is worn during application.
2. Ensure the area where Vibration Damping Compound is being applied is well ventilated.
3. Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst applying the material.
4. If it comes into contact with the sin, wash with lukewarm water and soap or a propriety hand cleaner.
5. If it comes into contact with the eyes, wash with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
6. If swallowed, rinse mouth and throat with water. Dilute stomach contents with water and obtain medical aid.
7. If a spillage occurs, cover with an absorbent material, eg., dry sand, and dispose of it taking care not to contaminate water courses, sewers or soil.
