TECH DAMP ™ FD-100 is a damping foam composite designed to reduce resonant noise in sheet metal or other thin structural members. At only .22 lbs/ ft2, TECH DAMP ™ FD- 100 offers excellent damping properties while adding minimal amounts of weight.
Common Applications:
- Door Panels
- Floor Panels
- Fuel Tanks
- Wheel Wells
- Outer Skin Damping for Mass Transit
- Enclosure Cabinet
TECH DAMP™ FD-100 has a viscoelastic foam core sandwiched between a high modulus aluminum foil and a strong pressure sensitive adhesive to allow for easy application. When TECH DAMP™ FD-100 is applied to a vibrating surface any resonant noise will be significantly decreased. TECH DAMP™ can be fabricated into ready-to-install parts for customer specific applications or available in sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tech Damp™
Q: What is Tech Damp and how does it reduce noise?
A: Tech Damp is a specialized damping composite (such as FD-100) engineered to combat structural vibration. When applied to vibrating sheet metal or thin structural panels, it converts mechanical vibration energy into low-level thermal energy, significantly reducing resonant noise.
Q: How much extra weight does Tech Damp add to an assembly?
A: Tech Damp FD-100 is designed for lightweight efficiency, adding an areal weight of only 0.22 lbs/ft². This allows design engineers to achieve powerful vibration damping without adding unnecessary structural mass.
Q: What types of equipment and industries benefit most from Tech Damp?
A: Tech Damp is widely used across power generation enclosures, industrial machinery cabinets, heavy commercial vehicles, and mass transit systems where thin metal panels tend to vibrate and amplify mechanical noise.
Q: Can Tech Damp materials be custom cut to fit specific enclosure designs?
A: Yes. Technicon Acoustics offers full-service custom fabrication, turning Tech Damp materials into precision pre-cut parts, gaskets, or die-cut kits tailored specifically to your assembly-line workflow.
