Vibration Damping Tapes

Technical Data

November, 2013

Product Description

3M™ Vibration Damping Tapes are low temperature 3M™ Viscoelastic Damping

Polymers coated on a dead soft aluminum foil constraining layer. They have

pressure sensitive properties and are furnished in roll form and designed for direct,

pressure sensitive application to metal and composite panels for vibration damping

purposes. The combination of the low temperature 3M viscoelastic polymers and an

aluminum constraining layer has proven to be an unique construction with

exceptional ability to damp resonant vibrations in the temperature range of -76° to

+68°F (-60° to +20°C).
