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 smoke 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.
