Noise-absorbent steel suits explosive
environments
SDS has developed a new polymer which enables conduction between the layers, reducing the risk of sparks or electric shock.
Sonphonon noise-absorbent steel is now available as a fully conductive laminate or damper, which makes it ideal for use in acoustic canopies, lids and enclosures, particularly on gensets and transformers Static can build up on any isolated layer of steel and cause an explosion; SDS Sonphonon can help prevent this

Enclosure lets neighbours hear the birds sing
Enclosure reduces noise at engine test facility where engines up to 750kW are dyno tested following complaints from neighbouring factories.
Polymers normally used in constrained layer damped steel act as an isolator, which means the outer skin may not be earthed.
SDS has developed a new polymer which enables conduction between the layers, reducing the risk of sparks or electric shock.
Sonphonon conductive noise absorbing laminates are available as sheets or cut to size.
Standard sheet sizes are 2 x 1, 2.5 x 1.25 and 3 x 1.5m, although these widths can be decoiled to any length.
The material can be supplied as standard or specialised grades for forming and deep drawing in CR, aluminium, galvanised or stainless.
Sound Dead Steel can also supply adhesive dampers to bond to resonant panels.
This can be an extremely efficient fix for noisy canopies and guards.
