| Vibration Damping materials are to bonded to structural panels (aluminum, steel, fiberglass, and wood) for the purpose of deadening resonant noise producing vibrations. Dampers are used to reduce vibration on surfaces bordering machinery spaces and above propellers. Soundown carries a wide variety of damping materials, suitable to numerous types of construction. Machinery Isolation Mountings in the Soundown line include rubber and steel spring isolators, used to elastically support items as small as a 5 lb. pump and as large as 25,000 hp marine gas turbine engines used in cruise ships. We also supply elastic pad materials used for isolation of the structureborne noise of machinery, building slabs, and interior constructions. proprietary Waterdrop silencers designed for the ultimate ■ in engine exhaust noise reduction. These devices are provided for builders of high quality yachts from small open boats to large yachts. Standard silencer construction is a fire retardant fiberglass with optional construction from steel and aluminum available. Elastic Shaft Couplings and Shaft Systems offer solutions to noise transmitted in shaft lines on large vessels, and smaller boats with aft cabins. Custom Cutting capabilities for parts, individual parts or kits are made to our customers' patterns and specifications. These can be die-cut, cut with a digitally controlled boat knife, waterjet cut. We also offer slitting of elastomeric pad materials. Custom cutting offers our customers high quality parts while reducing labor, scrap, and shipping costs. Soundown technicians can work with your digital files, drawings, or complex pattern images of parts. insulation installation Hardware and Accessories is an important line. it complements the basic insulation products. The line of installation hardware includes adhesives (brush-on, spray-on, and pre-applied peel-and-stick), mechanical fasteners, and edge tapes matched to the insulation finishes. We also manufacture pre-finished perforated aluminum cladding to protect insulated surfaces, and a variety of soft gasket materials to help seal sound leaks. |
