We would like to introduce our resin that suppresses noise and improves productivity. Since sound is a vibration in the air, it is possible to reduce noise by using vibration-damping materials. There is a significant difference in the duration of vibrations between metal and resin materials, with resin materials dissipating vibrations more quickly. Additionally, the vibration acceleration tends to be smaller with resin materials, which can result in reduced noise levels and the ability to decrease vibrations in the low-frequency range that typically cause discomfort due to deep bass. 【Resin that balances strength and vibration damping】 ■ Vibration-damping liquid crystal polymer ■ Epoxy resin *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
