The best vibration isolation materials for 2020

Thanks to the development of modern technologies, the number of various sources that provoke the occurrence of strong noise has significantly increased. A person is able to perceive frequencies, the volume of which varies in the range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. In the house, the main sources of noise are household appliances (washing machines, computers, refrigerators). To eliminate extraneous noise and vibration, vibration isolation is used. In addition, it can significantly reduce the level of vibrations and noise coming from outside, inside the car.

In construction, vibration isolation materials are usually actively used in cases where a house, a country cottage, a summer house or a structure is located near sources of strong vibration. For example, houses or buildings located near railways and highways are often equipped with vibration isolation. Basically, such insulation is done when laying the foundation of a building. However, it can be equipped with walls, floors and ceilings of a building. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you, taking into account the advice, reviews, recommendations and opinions of the majority of buyers, a rating of the best quality vibration isolation materials as of 2020.

Description

What is vibration isolation, how to choose it, what types is it? What to look for and what mistakes to avoid when choosing?

The definition of vibration isolation means carrying out a whole range of measures that are aimed at protecting structures, cars, various devices and devices, as well as people from the harmful effects of strong vibration.

For these purposes, special intermediate deformable elements are used, which are installed directly between the vibration source and objects.

The simplest and at the same time clear example of vibration isolation is the device and design of vehicles (cars). The design of the car consists of shock absorbers, springs, silent blocks, springs and a variety of rubber bushings. When driving on an uneven surface, taking into account the technical features of the operation of individual units of a car, strong vibration occurs, during which the level of comfort inside the vehicle interior is significantly reduced.

Also in everyday life, some people may experience discomfort from strong vibrations while at home or at their workplace. As a rule, it actively spreads over the surface of the earth and building structures. Therefore, to eliminate it in residential buildings or offices, vibration isolators are used, which are elastic elements with low stiffness indicators. To reduce the dynamics of the occurrence and the load of vibrations in the communication system of structures, special flexible elements (inserts) are used.

Vibration isolation of buildings

Powerful vibrations that appear inside structures provoke strong airborne noise.To reduce the amplitude of such noises, special deforming elements are used, which are installed between the structure (apartment, house) and the sources of strong vibrations.

Thanks to their use, vibrations that arise as a result of the operation of pipelines, air ducts and other sources of strong noise are reduced. Especially relevant is the question of such insulation for pulp, which are located near metro lines, highways. For vibration isolation of houses are used:

• Special mounts and suspensions;
• Vibration isolators of spring, multi-spring, and also suspended type;
• Supports;
• Soft materials of roll and sheet type.

In addition, it should be noted that during the installation of frames and suspended ceilings inside buildings, it is recommended to use special fasteners that are able to eliminate the occurrence and amplitude of strong vibrations. There are special mounts for both walls and suspended ceilings. Quite often vibration dampers are used to reduce the noise level inside buildings.

Reference! As a rule, vibration isolation of a building is carried out when laying its foundation. For these purposes, special supports are used, with good elasticity indicators, made of polyurethane elastomers.

Vibration damping vibration damping materials

Vibration damping materials absorb and dissipate most of a variety of noise and vibration. They are capable of protecting a structure or any structure from the effects of structural, shock, and airborne noise. As a rule, they are used both in production and for protection against vibration, noise, living rooms, rooms, houses. Vibration damping plates are very popular among consumers.

Such plates are a modern vibration-insulating material of a new generation, which is able to reduce vibrations emanating from a variety of technological equipment and machines. In addition, they are excellent at attenuating both acoustic and impact noise (the average reduction in output noise figures when using these plates is approximately 20 dB).

Vibration isolation of cars

The definition of vibration isolation of a car means a set of measures that are aimed at eliminating and suppressing low-frequency noise that occurs directly inside the passenger compartment. Compared to the so-called high-frequency noise, low-frequency noise is formed as a result of vibration in individual parts of the car body while it is moving. Therefore, in this case, such a set of measures provides for work on the surface treatment of the vehicle with special means that can reduce the intensity of occurrence, as well as the transmission of vibrations.

By and large, vibration isolators, which are used for soundproofing cars, are a layer of a special self-adhesive sealant, which was created using a modified rubber base. To give greater rigidity and reliability, it is additionally reinforced with a special foil made of aluminum. Thanks to such technical characteristics, such insulation not only successfully eliminates vibrations and noise inside the car, but also improves the rigidity of the body.

Which company is the best vibration isolation, what are the selection criteria and where can you buy it? Vikar and X-mat are some of the most popular domestic manufacturers of anti-vibration sheets. For vibration isolation of a car, it is recommended to use sheets with a thickness of about 2 mm. Anti-vibration materials of Russian production have a high level of safety and environmental friendliness. They are able to withstand sharp temperature fluctuations. Also, some of the most popular, best Russian manufacturers of such insulation are:

1. STP. It is one of the first domestic manufacturers of vibration isolation products.Certified products of this manufacturer are much cheaper than imported counterparts, and are also the most common in the domestic market.
2. SGM. The company is engaged in the manufacture of self-adhesive vibration dampers. The advantage of the products manufactured by the company is an acceptable price-quality ratio.
3. COMFORTMAT. The main direction of the company is the production of modern noise and vibration isolation products.

You can buy vibration isolation both in specialized stores and buy it online by visiting an online store. When selecting vibration isolation, it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with its technical and functional characteristics, scope of application. It should be noted that by visiting the online store, you can fully familiarize yourself with the catalog and the entire line of products sold, as well as make an overview of the most popular vibration isolation models that are in greatest demand among consumers.

Benefits of using vibration isolation for cars

The use of vibration-proof materials provides a high level of comfort during long trips, as well as the safety of the vehicle. After all, the danger of vibrations lies in the fact that they are capable of provoking the appearance of microcracks on the surface of the hood. Also vibration isolation allows:

• Protect the car body from corrosion;
• Increase indicators of resistance to impact and physical impact;
• Increase the level of comfort while using the car;
• Improve the driving comfort of the car and the speaker system used.

The best vibration isolation materials for 2020

Most of the best vibration damping materials are made on the so-called rubber base. In their appearance, they very much resemble liquid rubber, which was previously actively used for tire repair. Some vibration-insulating materials are additionally covered with a special metallized coating, which in its appearance vaguely resembles foil.

The advantage of vibration-absorbing materials is their ability to quickly damp and minimize the amplitudes of various vibrations that arise as a result of the operation of equipment and vehicles. When choosing vibration isolation for a car, it is recommended first of all to pay attention to the quality of the mastic. If the mastic is of poor quality, the vibration isolation will not adhere well to the surface and, when exposed to high temperatures, will begin to drain.
