A unique rubber-to-metal composite material designed to solve noise and vibration problems.

Trelleborg Damping Solutions manufactures a wide range of noise damping shims / insulators that are used when endurance against thermal, chemical and mechanical stress is required. This is combined with outstanding sound damping, sealing, vibration insulation, compressibility and bonding capacity.

The materials consist of different combinations of layers of rubber, carbon steel, stainless steel, fiber glass, cold pressure adhesives, acrylic or silicone based and hot sensitive glues.

Our unique rubber-to-metal composite materials for noise damping in disc brakes combine a number of valuable properties: vibration insulation, compressibility and excellent adhesion.

The rubber composite materials are excellent for applications with demanding insulation for vibration and noise. The materials retain their integrity even when subjected to high pressure and high temperature.

Outstanding Performance

• Excellent damping and isolation properties
• RDD outperforms RPN Shim materials and competitor materials
• Improved or similar NVH performance reducing steel thickness or layers
• Improved or remained NVH performance
• Using less costly adhesives
• Improved wear resistance
• Transfer of heat is reduced with RDD
