cost-effective solutions to noise and vibration control
Soundproofing Solutions for the Marine Industry
Soundproofing Solutions
Engine Room Noise Reduction
Use soundproofing composites:
- Megasorber C50BKA: foam-barrier-foam acoustic composite with fireproof acoustic facing and self-adhesive backing
- Megasorber C50VA: foam-barrier-foam acoustic composite with micro-perforated vinyl facing and self-adhesive backing
Reducing Noise in Cabins
Line cabin or engine room with sound absorbing materials:
- Megasorber FG: acoustic foam with fireproof sound-absorbing facing and optional self-adhesive backing
- Megasorber P: sound-absorbing polyester-wool with fireproof acoustic facing and optional self-adhesive backing
Reducing Vibration Noise from the Hull and Structures
Use vibration damping materials for hulk, deck, bulkhead, fuel tank:
- Megasorber D14: self-adhesive constrained-layer vibration damping sheet
- Megasorber DIS8: Self-adhesive vibration damping and isolation sheet
- Megasorber LD5: light-weight water-based liquid deadener
- Megasorber D18: self-adhesive vibration damping sheet
Applying its unique 4-Fold Approach® system, Megasorber has successfully developed a range of products and soundproofing systems for marine noise reduction:
- engine room noise
- noise in cabins
- vibration noise from the hull & structures
Traditionally, facing materials such as solid foil or film needed to be used to meet the ISO/DIS9094-2 or IMO requirements for flammability, high temperature resistance and non-fuel absorption. These impermeable materials blocked out most of the incident noise, dramatically reducing the sound absorption capacity of the materials.
Megasorber's Soundmesh® G8 acoustic facing has sovled this dilemma. It complies with IMO Resolution A653(16) requirements. It also meets ISO/DIS9094-2 requirements in non-flammability, high temperature resistance, absorption of sounds and repelling of fluids. It is tough and durable.
Using the Soundmesh® G8 facing, Megasorber's soundproofing composite C50BKA has been specially designed to maximize the marine engine noise reduction.
Typical Improvement of Quieting after Lining an Engine Room
with Megasorber C50BKA
Following applications highlight just a couple of our soundproofing solutions:
Engine Room Soundproofing for Luxury Yachts
Megasorber C50WHA and Megasorber C50VA are proven products for reducing the noise in luxury boats. Megasorber C50VA has a micro-perforated vinyl which provides an attractive appearance. It combines the engineering functionality with luxury requirements. The product has been perforated for this application through years of research and sea-trial testings.
Megasorber soundproofing composites make the engine room a showcase for boat owners, whilst taming the ‘roar’ of the powerful engine!
These photos show a typical finish in an engine room: sound insulation using Megasorber soundproofing composite Megasorber C50BKA or Megasorber C50VA. The boat owners can proudly show their guests every part of of their luxury boats, including the engine room, without shouting over engine noise!
Lightweight Soundproofing Solution for High-speed Patrol Boats
When high speed is imperative, boat owners turn to Megasorber light-weight soundproofing systems. Light-weight damping materials such as Megasorber LD5 liquid deadener and Megasorber D14 damping sheet are used for the hull and most of the structural panels. Every kilogram of soundproofing materials has been carefully examined in order to optimise performance and minimise weight.
Ask our engineers to recommend a Megasorber light-weight soundproofing system to increase your boat's speed and reduce its fuel consumption.
