Application Profile
PRODUCT
3M
™
Damping Foil 2552
Key Application Requirements
Noise and vibration must be absorbed by the damping polymer and converted
to negligible heat.
to negligible heat.
Application Method
Specific length parts are applied to the bracket by hand during assembly.
Benefits/Advantages To Customer
Helps reduce vibration and noise: The unique thick 3M polymer used in 3M
™
Damping Foil 2552 absorbs the vibration from the part and converts it to
negligible heat. This conversion helps reduce the overall noise created by the
vibration.
negligible heat. This conversion helps reduce the overall noise created by the
vibration.
Helps decrease wear and tear on parts: The aluminum foil constraining layer
dissipates the heat created by the noise conversion and provides a conformable
layer for application to the bracket. This helps decrease wear and tear on the
bracket and pump.
