●Sound absorption | :It shows 3 times more sound absorption efficiency than conventional material like urethane foam. Excellent sound absorption in audible sound frequency 1000 - 4000 Hz. |
●High function | :EVA is good for weatherability and chemical resistance. |
●Low environmental load | :Hydrogen cyanide gas generation is below 1/1000 comparing to polyurethane foam, so recycling is easier and the load to the environment is less. |
●Other characteristic | :EVA is chemically stable in water and is not hydrolyzed. |

Sound absorption ratio indicates how much of sound is absorbed in actual material.
Sound absorption is defined the incident that strikes a material that is not reflected back.

- KE damper is good for vibration damping material and soundproofing material, and can reduce the vibration and sound from vibrating body. KE damper is thin sheet for vibration blocking.
- When we attach KE damper directly to the vibrating metal plate, we can reduce the production of vibrating and noise.
- We can select from vibration damping sheet or complex of vibration blocking sheet and sound absorbing foam sheet.
- KE damper is very flexible and it is easy to bend.
