Accoustic Insulation

Accoustic Insulation
  • Noise? - from engine and exhausts
  • Vibration? from bulkheads and floors
  • Barrier Foam is your solution
Barrier Foam with reinforced foil coating

A laminate comprising a thin metallised polyester film bonded to Audiprene foam. The film provides a surface which reflects infra-red radiation whilst acheiving optimum sound absorbtion.

Typical Applications
  • Engine Compartments
  • Noise Shields
  • Hydraulic Equipment
  • Marine Engine Air Intake Systems
Specification
  • Foam : Audiprene Film
  • Thickness : 23cm
  • Working Temp : -30º to 90ºC
  • Coating : Reinforced Foil
  • Size : 1370m Metallised Polyesterm x 2000mm x 25mm
Typical Random Incidence Absorbtion

Acoustic performance is dependant upon material thickness and positioning relative to the noise source. We can advise upon the most effective treatment in individual cases. Note: Confirmation that individual orders meet additional specifications can be made and certificates of conformity issued if requested. Product performance can be affected by adverse conditions e.g. contamination.

Fixing Instructions

The material can be fixed in several ways and we recommend you read these simple instructions in order that you may achieve the best performance from the material which you have chosen. The most common method is contact adhesive. In addition to the manufacturers instructions the following tips should be observed.

  • Do not put too much adhesive onto the back of foam composite.
  • Spread adhesive evenly on both the insulation and the surface to be fixed to.
  • Be patient, let both surfaces go "touch dry" before bringing them together.

Observe engine manufacturers instructions for ventilation and cooling requirements. These may be overcome by a suitable duct design which may be lined with material. Pay attention to detail so that no gaps in the insulation exist.
