Product Spotlight: Noise, Vibration and Harshness Damping

Momentive’s three-part SilGrip NVH PSA Kit is a fully customizable noise and vibration damping product used primarily as a contact adhesive, as well as pressure sensitive tapes and transfer films. It can be applied in minutes if used as a contact adhesive, or immediately when used as a pressure sensitive tape or transfer film. The kit allows a wide damping range over low temperatures, room temperatures and high temperatures, depending on the chosen mix ratio.
