SOUND DAMPENING PAINT

Sound damping paint is a sprayable, waterbased sound damping compound, mainly for use in applications where thin-walled metal sheets cause unwanted sound. The compound reduces vibration noise significantly.

APPLICATIONS

Sound reduction of trash and linen chutes; Sound reduction of air ventilation systems; Sound reduction of containers (e.g. garbage and glass containers).

FEATURES

Excellent acoustic properties Low VOC Fast drying Paint compatible when dry Waterbased, environmental friendly Waterproof, however, may not be used constantly under water, coating has to dry from time to time

ADHESION

The surfaces to be applied must be cleaned and free of grease. Un-galvanized steel sheets and raw aluminum sheets must be protected against corrosion as it is not a corrosion-protective coating. Sound-damping paint can be applied in thick layers up to ca. 5 mm without sagging. For not-mentioned substrates and additional information please consult Kapella.

METHOD OF USE

Paint can be applied by use of secondary air spraying equipment. In general, all types of equipment with a theoretical transmission of 5:1 up to 12:1 are suitable, using a 3/5″ hose up to 10 m in length and a spray gun with a 2 – 4 mm nozzle. The best compound intake pressure is 3-4 bar and 4-5 bar for the secondary air.
