Sheets and Die-Cut parts: 3M can introduce you to fabricators
with a background of handling this product and the capability
to provide sheet goods and die cut dampers to customer
specifications.
Custom Dispensers: Designed for manual or automatic
operation, this custom dispenser removes protective liner from
3M™ Damping Foil 2552 before cutting to a predetermined
length. Built to hold and dispense 6" core with a roll size up to
2" wide by 108 yds. Engineered for table top usage, this
custom dispenser measures 31"L x 22"H x 10"W and weighs
only 45 pounds.
Characteristics • Excellent aging qualities of the polymer.
• Wide temperature range for damping. Usable from -25° to 175°F (-32° to 80°C),
with peak damping from 32° to 140°F (0° 60°C).
• Liner on product offers the user die-cut capability.
• Pressure sensitive adhesive for ease of application.
• Meets flame retardancy requirements of F.A.R. Part 25.853(a).
• Can pass ASTM E-162 and ASTM E-662 for flamability and sm oke generation.
Application Ideas • Industrial applications.
• Electronic equipment and appliances.
• Reduce resonant noise, vibration and fatigue in metal, plastic panels and support
structures.
• Almost anywhere plastic or metal contact with materials can result in potentially
damaging vibration.
