Why Ecomass Is The Best Thermoplastic For Vibration Damping

Vibration damping is a thermal management issue. If your heat dissipation is inadequate, then the temperature rise from your equipment will be high and the dissipated heat will be low. Thus, it’s good to have an effective Vibration Damping thermoplastic available.

However, not all thermoplastics are created equal when it comes to vibration damping. You need a thermoplastic with certain properties to effectively damp vibrations. The best choice for vibration damper is Ecomass, which has a high modulus of elasticity (higher tensile strength) and excellent resistance to creep and demulsification properties.

? Vibration damping

All-natural materials tend to be very elastic, while man-made materials generally have a low modulus of elasticity. As a material warms up, it loses some of its elasticity and becomes more compliant, or less dense. The transition between elastic and compliant states is called the “cushion” or “damping” portion of the material. Ecomass does this job effectively and it is the best vibration damping material available on the market.



? Other applications of Ecomass

• Balancing

Ecomass is designed to be used as a biaxially-active elastomer with a high glass transition temperature. However, it can also be used as a fully flexible, stretchable synthetic rubber. This makes it a good choice for applications where both flexibility and noise suppression are essential.

• Radiation shielding

Ecomass has excellent radiation-shielding properties thanks to its high glass transition temperature which makes it great for applications that require maximum absorptance. It is widely used in Electronic and Electromechanical Devices (EME) where ETC GLP-142 is the most popular radiation-shielding elastomer.

• Frangible projectiles

Projectiles made of Ecomass have very good shape stability and low angular velocity which make them ideal for training range safety. While many projectiles made of other thermoplastics have to be balanced with ease, these projectiles can be made very stable in just the opposite direction with only basic care. This makes them great training tools both indoors and out.


• Weighting

When it comes to weighting, Ecomass can absorb vibrations in three dimensions. This makes it a good choice for applications that require a deformable but highly resonance-free enclosure. It is widely used in the Agricultural & Forestry Industries for the protection of equipment against unnecessary vibration. It is also a popular choice for automotive applications where low weight and good handling are required.

? How does Ecomass work?

Ecomass is a thermoplastic composite material that is formulated to meet specific requirements for impact and fatigue resistance. It is made of closed-cell semi-transparent PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastic.

When you buy Ecomass, the plastic pellets are loose and unformed and then form into a hard, dense material when the plastic is heated to a certain temperature. This is called “curing”. During the curing process, the plastic changes from being soft, absorbent, and squishy to a hard, durable, rigid material.

? Advantages of Ecomass over other thermoplastics

It doesn’t delaminate as other thermoplastics do over time. It has a good impact and chemical resistance to a wide range of chemicals. It is flame-retardant. It does not chlorinated or brominated to stay inert against most toxic and corrosive chemicals. It can be relatively inexpensive to produce compared to other thermoplastics.

Why Thermoplastic Polymer Material Is Considered As Unique?

Image
Thermoplastic polymer is a material that is the best combination of rubber and plastic. For any application, thermoplastic polymer is the best-performing material. It is widely used to replace rubber, lead and plastic. The material has some unique properties and is considered a high-density type. • Industrial-grade thermoplastic composite materials can withstand extreme heat and pressure conditions • The material is also more flexible and resistant as compared to lead or rubber • It has special properties of absorbing shock vibrations when used for industrial applications Abrasion resistant Abrasion can affect the performance of any machine part. Metals tend to get rusted when oxidized. Even the hardest metal like lead may get rusted after a certain time. this means that the metal will have to be replaced so the machine keeps performing.   For best output, the material used should be super resistant to abrasion. This is one unique property of thermoplastic polymer mate...

Why Achieving Sustainable Goals Is A Slow Process Not An Overnight Event?

Image
Sustainability must not exist on the idea and perception levels only.It must find its true place on the execution level. All government plans, corporate promises, and agendas would be futile without pragmatic execution. That would mean companies and organizations should start to think more objectively to achieve the desired sustainability goals. It is important to beat the challenges that come along when companies and organizations are introducing sustainable ideas and plans of action. Let’s take a quick look at the methods and ways to find the right approach toward the implementation of sustainability.   Achieving sustainability goals is a process, not an event: One must be aware of the fact that everything substantial would take time, humans need to get out of event desired mindsets, it is a process. The process can be slow or fast depending upon how you execute, it is the fundamental concept of life and the world. Sustainability goals can be started by understanding the i...

How Vibration Damping Increases The Performance Of Golf Clubs

Image
In golf, precision and control play a vital role, and the golfer's performance is significantly influenced by their choice of equipment.The performance and feel of a golf club are greatly influenced by vibration damping, making it an important element in club design. Here's how vibration damping technology can elevate the performance of golf clubs. • Golf clubs are now more comfortable • Golfers now can make more accurate and controlled shots • Golf clubs now can transfer energy more efficiently • Golfers are now suffering from fatigue and injury risk • Golf clubs are now giving back better feedback and confidence Improved comfort and feel Golfers often look for a club that provides a solid and comfortable feel upon impact with the ball. Vibration damping material technology helps reduce the vibrations transmitted through the club, resulting in a more pleasant and controlled feel. This enhanced comfort allows golfers to focus on their swing and achieve more consisten...
