Product Description: TED PAD is a low cost, light weight damping pad with an aggressive self-adhesive surface. When applied to vibrating metal surfaces it can significantly reduce the vibrations and thereby reduce the airborne noise. Reduced vibration can also reduce failure due to structural fatigue. Ted Pad has been found to have a combined loss factor of 0.13 on 0.050? thick aluminum at 600 Hertz at 60°F. The pressure sensitive adhesive surface of TED PAD is specifically tailored for industrial use. It is resistant to mild acid and alkali and most common organic solvents especially diesel fuel and gasoline. The adhesive surface should be applied to a clean (free of oil, grease, dust or dirt) surface at a temperature of 60°F to 90°F and pressed firmly in place. Once set, the adhesive will serve at temperatures up to 200°F. Applications: TED PAD can be applied to a wide variety of products to make them more quiet and thereby more acceptable in a noise sensitive world. Some examples are car doors and other body panels, trucks, buses, tractors, construction equipments, compressors, mining equipments, ducts, bins, hoppers, machine enclosures, guards, hoods, business road cards, appliances, clothes washers, dish washers and other vibrating metal panels.
