Damping

At low frequencies, Vulkollan can absorb up to 20% of the deformation energy as heat. This means that Vulkollan has a large damping capacity.

 

At high frequencies, the damping capacity is even higher. The loss factor of a Vulkollan 80 Shore is, at 100 Hz, ca. 0.13, at 10,000 Hz this increases to ca 0.45.

 

Together with the wide range in hardness, Vulkollan is eminently suitable to dissipate high bending forces at low frequencies, but equally to filter away high-frequency vibrations.
