Sylodyn®, The Material for the Most Stringent Requirements.
Sylodyn® is used for vibration and noise protection, as well as various other applications. Sylodyn is a versatile material that finds application in a wide range of scenarios, including railway line vibration protection, impact noise isolation, structural bearing, and noise reduction within buildings. Its closed-cell elastomer nature and improved dynamic properties make it a valuable choice for projects where these properties are essential.

Key features and uses of Sylodyn®
1. Vibration Protection on Railway Lines
Sylodyn® is employed as a solution to reduce vibrations on both local and inter-city railway lines. It helps minimize the transmission of vibrations from the tracks to nearby structures, enhancing passenger comfort and reducing wear and tear on railway infrastructure.
2. Impact Noise Isolation
This material is also used for isolating impact noise in floors and on stairs.
It absorbs and dissipates the energy generated by impacts, thereby reducing noise levels in buildings.
3. Bearing for Buildings and Machines
Sylodyn® can serve as a bearing material for buildings or machinery.
It helps distribute loads and vibrations, protecting the structural integrity of buildings and ensuring smooth operation of machinery.
4. Noise Isolation Between Walls, Floors, and Ceilings
Sylodyn® is used to isolate noise between different building elements, such as walls, floors, and ceilings. It aids in reducing the transmission of airborne and structural noise, creating quieter and more comfortable indoor environments.
5. Closed-Cell Elastomer
Sylodyn® is a closed-cell elastomer, which means it does not absorb water. This property makes it suitable for outdoor and damp environments where moisture resistance is crucial.
6. Improved Dynamic Properties
Compared to Sylomer®, Sylodyn® offers improved dynamic properties. It is likely more effective at handling dynamic loads and vibrations.
7. Variety of Types
Sylodyn® comes in five different standard types, each with specific characteristics for different applications. Additionally, there are three types of Sylodyn® HRB HS available from stock, which may have unique properties for specialized use cases.
8. Customization
Like Sylomer®, Sylodyn® can be customized to meet specific requirements. This flexibility allows it to be tailored to the needs of different projects and industries.
