Product Data Sheet

Sticky Steel™

Sound Suppressor

Description

The Sticky Steel™ Sound

Suppressor is a constrained layer

sound and vibration suppressor.

It works by trapping sound

vibrations in the soft layer of the

suppressor, and converting them

to heat. It works best on thin

layers of material, like sheet metal.

Key Features

• Quick and easy to install,

without the need for special

tools or equipment

• Adhesive is strong and long-

lasting when properly installed.

• Easily cut into smaller sizes with

tin snips

• Galvanized steel layer resists

rust and corrosion

• Available in 4" x 6" sheets

Product Applications

Examples of places where this

product can be effective include:

• Under uncoated stainless

steel sinks

• Inside the side panels

of appliances

• On metal HVAC ductwork

• On the metal housing of

bathroom and kitchen

ventilating fans

• Other sheet metal surfaces

which can vibrate and transmit

sound

Technical Information

• The Sticky Steel™ Sound

Suppressor will work best if

it can be placed in the center

of open areas of sheet metal

panels. It is important to choose

the installation location carefully.

One way to identify locations

to mount the suppressor is to

touch the spot on the panel

with your  nger to deaden

vibration at that location.

By moving your  nger to

several different spots you can

determine the most effective

location for the suppressor.

• Clean surface where you will be

applying the Sticky Steel™ Sound

Suppressor with rubbing alcohol

and a cotton swab and let dry.

• Peel the backing to expose

the adhesive and apply to the

surface you want to quiet. The

adhesive used in this sound

suppressor is very strong, so

once the suppressor is mounted

in position, it will be dif cult, if

not impossible, to move.

• Apply even pressure to the

Sticky Steel™ Sound Suppressor.

A test was performed with

a stainless steel sink, initially

untreated and then treated

with the Sticky Steel™ Sound

Suppressor. The loudness of the

sound made when the sink was

struck with an instrumented

hammer was measured and

recorded. The results are shown

in Table 1.

The sink was installed in a

base cabinet, not connected to

plumbing and without a faucet.

Two 4" x 6" pieces of Sticky

Steel™ Sound Suppressor were

used under the bowl of the sink.

The sone is a unit of perceived

loudness.
