SOUND TRAP™
MSC Engineered Materials and Solutions Group's core business centers on our proprietary continuous coil coating and constrained layer laminating processes. Sound Trap™ is one of our unique families of materials, produced as continuous coil, sheet or finished component, to reduce vibration.

Sound Trap™ composite material comprises two or more metallic substrate layers surrounding an engineered viscoelastic core. Micro-shear deformation of the viscoelastic core dissipates the resonant vibrational energy present, thus making Sound Trap™ a highly effective damping material solution. This damping is quantitatively measured by the Composite Loss Factor. Simply, the higher the loss factor, the greater the material's ability to damp vibration.

SOUND TRAP AD™
The Sound Trap AD™ product is an add-on damping material, with a PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) backing affixed.

MAGNA DAMP™
For environments where PSA's are impractical or create bottlenecks in the assembly process, MSC's Engineered Materials and Solutions Group has developed a constrained layer damping material with a magnetized substrate. This magnetic damping material was developed for a major white goods manufacturer, seeking to quiet its high-end range of products without adding excessive material and manufacturing costs. Magna Damp™ was the solution.

THERMALCORE®
This high thermal conductivity material can be used for heat dissipation, thermal resistivity and heat insulation applications. Thermalcore® is a constrained layer material, comprising various substrates bonded by the proprietary continuous lamination processes of MSC. Core protection to 3000ƒF (1632ƒC) is achievable. Thermalcore® also provides excellent acoustic barrier properties.
