• Inside the side panels of appliances
• Apply even pressure to the Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor.
• On metal HVAC ductwork
A test was performed with a stainless steel sink, initially untreated and then treated with the Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor. The loudness of the sound made when the sink was struck with an instrumented hammer was measured and recorded. The results are shown in Table 1.
• On the metal housing of bathroom and kitchen ventilating fans Description The Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor is a constrained layer sound and vibration suppressor. It works by trapping sound vibrations in the soft layer of the suppressor, and converting them to heat. It works best on thin layers of material, like sheet metal. Key Features • Quick and easy to install, without the need for special tools or equipment • Adhesive is strong and longlasting when properly installed. • Easily cut into smaller sizes with tin snips • Galvanized steel layer resists rust and corrosion • Available in 4" x 6" sheets Product Applications Examples of places where this product can be effective include: • Under uncoated stainless steel sinks
Reduction in Loudness
• Other sheet metal surfaces which can vibrate and transmit sound Technical Information • The Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor will work best if it can be placed in the center of open areas of sheet metal panels. It is important to choose the installation location carefully. One way to identify locations to mount the suppressor is to touch the spot on the panel with your finger to deaden vibration at that location. By moving your finger to several different spots you can determine the most effective location for the suppressor. • Clean surface where you will be applying the Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab and let dry. • Peel the backing to expose the adhesive and apply to the surface you want to quiet. The adhesive used in this sound suppressor is very strong, so once the suppressor is mounted in position, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to move.
The sink was installed in a base cabinet, not connected to plumbing and without a faucet. Two 4" x 6" pieces of Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor were used under the bowl of the sink. The sone is a unit of perceived loudness. Notes • Do not place on vents or louvers. Covering vents or louvers may restrict airflow and could cause damage to your item. • Do not cover electrical connections or wires with product. Covering electrical connections could result is personal injury. • Do not place on rotating equipment such as fan blades, mower blades, etc. • Do not place in high temperature areas, such as the inside of an oven cavity.
