News - Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers Help Create Lower Noise Products

The danger of noise has a long history, but only in modern times has it attracted widespread attention. 1960s, in the history of mankind appeared the term ‘noise disease’, a series of investigation reports and research reports continue to be published. With the development of modern industry and transport, noise pollution has become more and more serious, and has become a world public hazard. It affects people's life, sleep, study, work and physical and mental health.

Some daily consumer products currently circulating in the market have poor noise reduction. The intervention of Si-TPV material can improve these aspects of the product performance deficiencies, and effectively enhance consumer satisfaction experience.

There are many materials that can achieve the effect of vibration and noise reduction, usually need to meet the following application conditions:

1. To be environmentally friendly. Both small odour, but also small VOC emissions, not to use asbestos, glass wool or heavy metals or toxic substances and other hazardous materials. 2.

2. Acoustic effect should be good. Since it is a noise-reducing material, it needs to have a good effect on noise suppression.

3. Reliability. After high and low temperatures and other harsh environmental factors, can still maintain stable performance. Some external noise reduction materials should be waterproof and moisture-proof.

4. To be wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, light-resistant, have a certain degree of bending, compressive strength. Some noise-reducing materials are appearance materials, there will be these requirements.

5. Safe and skin-friendly. Some products in life will be in regular contact with human skin, in this case there will be a lasting skin-friendly and non-allergenic demand, to avoid causing skin allergies or poor tactile experience and other situations, affecting the use.

6. To low cost. Competition in the automotive industry is fierce, if the material cost is too high, even if the performance is good, it is more difficult to be applied.

Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers help to reduce noise and vibration!

Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers are Plasticiser-Free Thermoplastic Elastomer, Non-Sticky Thermoplastic Elastomer (Si-TPV), developed by Thermoplastic Elastomer Suppliers SILIKE. Thermoplastic Elastomer (Sustainable Elastomeric Materials and Eco-Friendly Elastomeric Materials Compounds). This special material is through a special compatibility technology and dynamic vulcanisation technology will be fully vulcanised silicone rubber with 1-3um particles uniformly dispersed in different substrates, the formation of a special island structure, the surface of the silicone rubber to provide tactile sensation and tiny bumps in the process of friction and friction with the object of small contact surface, thus playing a very good role in noise reduction, and to give the products a long-lasting skin-friendly touch.

In addition, Si-TPV also has the characteristics of non-dissolving and leaving sticky, safe anti-bacteria allergy, no plasticiser and other harmful substances, excellent bearing capacity, impact resistance and shock absorption performance, high mechanical strength, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, etc. Si-TPV has excellent wrapping performance, it can be wrapped with ABS, PC/ABS and other materials, good adhesion, not easy to fall off. These features allow it to meet the specific needs of different applications while providing noise reduction, offering more possibilities for manufacturers.

Applications:

Bluetooth headphones, where the designer added a small spacer to the product structure, made of Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers, which reduces noise and improves sound quality.

Fan blades, by introducing Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers elements can appropriately reduce the hardness of the material, thus reducing the sound when the fan is running.

Sweeper, using Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers, to reduce the noise caused by friction with the ground when in use, and has good hydrophobicity and dirt resistance, abrasion resistance and scratch resistance and other properties.

Automotive leather, using Si-TPV Thermoplastic Elastomers made of leather with the ultimate smooth skin-friendly touch, low VOC emissions, high and low temperature cycle -20 ~ 75 ℃, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and the noise caused by the friction between the leather is very well suppressed.
