Noise and vibration reduction is an essential component of modern day design. Our coating solutions provide a low coefficient of friction that prevents the scoring, galling or sticking of mating components. This, in turn, can eliminate noise and vibration.

​

Without proper lubrication, friction generated by two mating components can cause squeaks, groans, itches and vibrations. Vibration generates noise – choosing the most appropriate coating system for noise reduction depends upon the problem.​

​

In most cases, noise generation is effectively reduced by coatings of 10- to 40 microns/0.004 to 0.0015 inches.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH), the study, testing and modification of noise and vibration characteristics in the automotive industry is a key engineering and design aim. The efficiency of designs, materials used and noiseless vehicles are essential characteristics in the future of car platforms.  Learn more.
