FAQ

FAQs about damping tapes

How do damping tapes contribute to improved product quality in manufacturing?

Damping tapes contribute to improved product quality by reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). By reducing NVH, damping tapes help create smoother, quieter, and more reliable products, leading to higher customer satisfaction, and fewer returns or repairs. Additionally, they can improve the precision of the manufacturing process itself by minimizing vibrations in machinery that could otherwise affect the accuracy of assembly or finishing operations.

What are the primary industries benefiting from damping tape applications?

In the automotive and aerospace sectors, damping tapes reduce buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR). They ensure structural integrity, enhance passenger comfort, and improve the overall performance of cars and aircraft. In manufacturing, damping tapes are incorporated in household appliances like washers, dryers, and refrigerators to minimize operational noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). And they are employed in electronic devices and control panels to prevent vibrations that could affect performance and reliability.

How do damping tapes compare to other noise and vibration reduction methods?

Damping tapes are valued for their ease of application, versatility, and effectiveness in reducing both noise and vibration in a variety of industrial settings. An alternative is to use materials like foam or fiberglass to absorb sound energy and reduce noise. While effective for high-frequency noise, these materials may perform less effectively for low-frequency vibrations. Physical barriers or enclosures can also be built to block sound transmission and contain noise within a specific area. But they can be bulky and may not address any vibrations. Finally, isolators or pads can be used to reduce the transmission of vibrations from machinery to the surrounding structure. However, they may not be able address to airborne noise effectively.
