Foamex Resevoiring and Delivering Functions

TPG Data Sheet - Vibration Damping

Vibration Damping – Control structure borne vibration and impact noise for electronic equipment

Some applications include:

  1. Hard Disk Drive Mounting – Foamex polyurethane foam dissipates vibration energy transmitted from the disk drive.
  2. Computer Fan Mount – Foamex polyurethane foam reduces vibration caused by the fan within a computer by absorbing vibration energy
  3. Printer Damping – Foamex polyurethane foam absorbs vibration energy and airborne noise generated by printer
  4. Data Processing Equipment – Foamex polyurethane foam absorbs vibration energy and airborne noise generated by DP Equipment

Foamex material can be “solutioneered” to ft the application and the problem exactly. Several grades of UL 94 HF1 listed foams are available. In some cases, for maximum vibration reduction, acoustical foams are used in conjunction with a damping layer, such as a viscoelastic material.

Properties include:

- Flame retardant
- Fabrication flexibility
- Tunability of foam to selected frequencies
- Low Outgassing
