OverviewLegetolex is a visco‑elastic structural damper composed of a glass cloth layer, a rubber damping layer and a release liner. It is designed for vibration damping of sheet‑metal assemblies in automotive and industrial applications.
Features- High damping performance with a constrained rubber layer
- Low areal weight for minimal impact on overall structure mass
- Good adhesion to vibrating substrates due to a specially formulated rubber compound
- Suitable for application on curved or slightly oily surfaces
- Can be applied before or after ED (electrodeposition) painting
- Validated by design and testing in the Automotive Technical Centre (ATC)
- Compatible with robotic application
- Contributes to improved door closure acoustics
Structure- Glass cloth layer
- Rubber (visco‑elastic) layer
- Release liner
PropertiesInitial thickness: 2.2 mm
Constraining layer thickness: 0.2 mm
Adhesion to BA steel: 140 kPa
Weight: 3200 g/m²
ApplicationLegetolex is applied to sheet metal panels to reduce vibration and radiated noise. Typical uses include automotive body panels and a variety of industrial appliances (washers, dryers, ovens). Applying damping material to approximately 30% of a panel surface typically yields effective noise reduction.
