Machinery Solutions

QuietCoat

Appliances are an everyday source that can often be easily damped by QuietCoat. Commercial applications include machinery in areas where it can interfere with customers or employees, e.g. restaurants, hotels, hospitals, office buildings. Consumer applications include a wide variety of appliances found in the home.

The difference between high-end appliances and low-end appliances is often reduced to styling and noise. A $350 dishwasher washes the same number of dishes, using the same amount of water, soap and time. But a quiet dishwasher can cost 2X to 3X as much as a noisy one. The goal is usually to take at least 10 dB of noise out, across a broad frequency band.

Damping noise and vibration has traditionally been costly and risky – until now. Quiet Solution offers the residential and commercial appliance industry a complete line of high-performance products to soundproof machinery, and the associated buildings and vehicles. Using a new generation of viscoelastic polymers, it is now possible to achieve high levels of quiet with a fraction of the bulk, weight and cost of traditional technologies.

The most effective way to mitigate appliance noise and vibration is to coat as much of the equipment as possible with QuietCoat viscoelastic polymer. The other approach is to contain the noise by building soundproof areas.
