Frequency Damping Technology

Frequency Damping Technology (FDT) Damping material is notoriously ineffective, and even the use of dangerous glass fiber products can be found.

FDT vs Glass Fiber Damping Properties

                        125Hz     250Hz     500Hz      1000Hz     2Khz     4Khz     NRC

Glass Fiber       0.17        0.20         0.72          0.99         1.01      1.09      0.81

FDT   Fiber       0.97        1.37         1.23          1.08         1.02      1.01      1.15                


Frequency Damping Technology (FDT) offers the highest NRC (sound absorption) performance of any competitive material. Why? The answer lies in the random thread diameter, length and orientation. The FDT material is a Class A non-flammable material that is also resistant to mold and mildew, and contains no chemical irritants and requires no warning labels compared to the carcinogenic warnings that fiberglass is required by law to display. FDT virtually eliminated any consideration of the use of glass products, (runner up in the list of effective damping materials), and performs incredibly well in the appropriate highlighted frequencies (only low frequencies are issues).
