Anti Squeak / Rattle
Squeaks occur when two or more surfaces have differing frictional properties and movement takes place. When this happens at high frequency, this movement generates a noise or a squeak. Often this is amplified by the resonance of one or other of the components
To eliminate these squeaks, an isolation material must be employed between the surfaces, commonly known as an anti squeak tape or anti rattle tape. This can be provided in the form of a flocking tape, or in more demanding applications, the application of a self adhesive polyurethane strip or bumper:
The choice of material used for this elimination will be dictated by:
-
Flammability and burn rate
-
Water Absorption
-
Abrasion resistance
-
Energy absorption capacity
-
Ability to bond to low energy surfaces
-
Colour fastness to light
The performance characteristics of polyurethane make it a natural choice in the elimination of squeaks and rattles, it is incredably durable and hard wearing and has excellent abrasion resistance. We have polyurethane bumpers available to cover all aspects of sound management, from intricate die cut pads to bespoke strips and even sheets. Eazi-Stops can be produced in any size, shape or format.
