We aim to provide a wide variety of customers with quality customer service with product selection, customization, and delivery. Acoustic insulation has a number of commercial and industrial applications to help reduce sound, noise, and vibrations. In fact, acoustic insulation is a vital element to many commercial uses to reduce the risk of high noise levels and create more comfortable environments. From building construction to car manufacturing, acoustic installation helps to reduce noise, absorb noise, dampen vibrations, and reflect vibrations. Learn more about the top four commercial uses of acoustic insulation and how Smartech can help with your commercial project: Reducing Noise Acoustic insulation in the car manufacturing industry helps to reduce noise created by the engine and other aspects of the vehicle. High levels of noise can actually be damaging and even a safety hazard in some commercial scenarios, and acoustic insulation helps to reduce that noise to a safe and manageable level. Acoustic insulation reduces noise in automotive and equipment panels and engine bays for the vehicle manufacturing industry. Acoustic insulation is also beneficial for reducing noise in machine enclosures. This type of insulation has both indoor and outdoor uses, depending on the needs and requirements of the project. When selecting acoustic insulation for commercial use, the porosity of the material, along with cell size, density, and thickness, play a part in how effective the insulation will be at reducing noise. Absorbing Noise Acoustic insulation is used to absorb noise in a variety of commercial contexts, including building construction. This type of insulation is designed to absorb the sound created by movement in indoor spaces. Floors and ceilings may be designed with acoustic insulation to help absorb the noise of movements in between floors of a building. Walls may also have acoustic insulation to help with absorbing noise from room to room. In many cases, acoustic insulation can also help to provide fire resistance and have hydrophobic properties to help avoid mold growth in walls, ceilings, and floors. Indoor acoustic insulation provides better noise absorption so that rooms and spaces have appropriate acoustics. Commercial acoustic insulation also provides a barrier in between spaces such as hotels and multi-family spaces with shared walls. Dampening Vibrations Acoustic insulation can help dampen vibrations caused by the usage of machinery and appliances that create deep sound vibration and other machinery noise. Air conditioning units and HVAC may rely on acoustic insulation to dampen vibrations created by the machinery when it is in motion and help to decrease any resulting sounds and noise. Acoustic insulation dampens sound waves caused by vibrations in the air that can even occur outside of the normal range of human hearing and sound frequencies. Acoustic insulation dampens those vibrations within and around commercial projects like machinery used in a variety of contexts. Acoustic insulation can also be used in an outdoor setting to help dampen vibrations in the air and reduce the noise outside of a building. Reflecting Vibrations Acoustic insulation can also reflect vibrations of sound waves in the air and redirect those to other areas. When acoustic insulation is used in reflecting vibrations, it can actually minimize the perceived loudness and noise in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials used for soundproofing and sound dampening also help to redirect the actual sound waves, thus reflecting those vibrations and dissipating their energy. Noises and vibrations can be reflected off of the acoustic insulation and are beneficial in roadwork construction, like with highway barriers for managing traffic noise. Acoustic insulation provides reflective barriers to help block out exterior vibrations caused by vibrations in the air. The most effective means of addressing noise and vibrations in a variety of commercial contexts is by employing acoustic insulation.

Filed under: Standard Post by admin CAMX 2017 – Confidence In The Face of Adversity Happy New Year! We hope you are all getting off to a good, healthy start to 2018. For the composites industry, 2017 finished with a bitter-sweet event. Just a few months earlier, Hurricane Irma quite literally washed out the industry’s excitement over CAMX 2017. The year after its most successful event, CAMX management was now facing its worst nightmare. The show everyone was waiting for was forced to cancel. News quickly surfaced that show management was looking for a new date in 2017. I felt immediate confidence that this would happen as we were quickly approaching a time of year when nobody wants to do a trade show – the holiday season. Surely there was plenty of exhibit space available at that time. As I had anticipated, the show was rescheduled for December 12th through the 14th. I’ve got to hand it to them. They pulled it off, and pulled it off well! Rather than the gloom that characterized other southern region trade shows that chose to continue in the face of Irma, the exhibit hall at CAMX was filled with a sense of confidence and relief. Granted, it was something a little less than that of excitement. After all, the show was approximately one hundred exhibitors short of the original event. However, I had an overwhelming sense that everyone that was there was excited to be where they were, despite the obvious inconvenience of running a trade show during the holidays. It would be hard to overstate my enthusiasm over this show. As a new player in a very exciting industry, I was hungry to learn and the show did not disappoint. What struck me most, however, was how unique this show was from anything I had ever experienced in a trade show before. CAMX was one-part traditional trade show, one-part modern office with open air collaboration, and one-part coffee shop. I felt as though I had just entered in a trade show held inside an enormous Starbucks…and I liked it! So what am I talking about? Innovation Park, as show organizers called it, was a unique layout that provided show floor opportunities for meetings, discussion groups, and even featured a theater for open air presentations. Trade show organizers take notice. I think we’ve just seen the future. Kudos to CAMX! You stared a hurricane in the eye and came out the winner! Bill Formella Technical Applications Smartech International Filed under: featured by admin IBEX Show 2017 For the composites industry, September was a month of uncertainty. Two big events were scheduled in Florida -CAMX 2017 (Orlando) and IBEX 2017 (Tampa). Irma decimated plans for CAMX 2017, but quick organization has it rescheduled for December 12-14. However, just one week later, IBEX (International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition) was able to move forward as planned. The IBEX show was a huge success. Though Irma passed through just nine days earlier, IBEX was still able to post a 4% increase in attendees and 10% increase in exhibitors. Driving through Tampa, it scarcely seemed as though a hurricane had been anywhere near the area. We had the luck of running into a client – Blue Wave Boats from Seminole, Oklahoma. Blue Wave has been using the same sheets of our 2mm thick transparent silicone vacuum bagging material since December of 2013. That’s nearly 4 years with an average of 9 cycles per week!! Smartech’s reason for visiting the CAMX and the IBEX is the same – exploring the market for our new super thin, hyper- elongation material. Silicone 35 Transparent was specifically designed for use as reusable bagging material for composites manufacturing. I was anxious to show this material to other industry professionals and gain valuable feedback. Conversations with industry educators, suppliers, and current customers confirmed our excitement. Silicone 35 Transparent, with its high-elongation, transparency, and light weight, will find a welcome home in composites manufacturing. Bill Formella Filed under: Standard Post by admin More Choices – More Value We are excited that Steinbach has added two great choices to their Solar Membrane/Diaphragm/Blanket/Bladder line-up. For those of you that have been paying attention, that’s a 100% increase! So now in addition to Steinbach’s patented EVA-resistant Lamibran® Diaphragm and their equally popular grey, durometer 55 silicone, we are proud to provide two more options to PV Module manufacturers. Blue, Durometer 50, Type STBB Designed specifically for the glass lamination industry, this material has 350% elongation and high temperature resistance – up to 230°C. This of course makes it equally well-suited to the solar industry. Available in seamless widths up to 3500mm, Steinbach’s STBB silicone mixture will fit the largest of laminators. High cycle life and affordable pricing make this a great option. Red, Durometer 58, Type STMB 3003 Best practices have shown that certain brands of laminators work best with stiffer diaphragms. If your laminator falls in this category, Steinbach’s STMB 3003 is available up to 3000mm wide. With a stiffer durometer 58 yet with 310% elongation, this material is ideally suited to the requirements of PV module lamination. Both of these new materials have one smooth side and one with a texture. Customers tell us that using the textured side toward the panels doesn’t transfer the texture to the backsheet and helps prevent the diaphragm from sticking to the panels or the PTFE release sheet. But this is only the beginning. In early 2017 Steinbach’s new 3200mm wide Rotocure D320 calendar will begin production in Germany. This new system will allow for incredible flexibility and innovation when it comes to flexible manufacturing materials. As the only Made-in-Germany supplier of wider silicone and other elastomeric materials, Steinbach is uniquely positioned to tailor their production to the solar industry’s needs and expectations.
