Laminated metal sheets for sound proofing are composites of a thin viscoelastic polymeric layer sandwiched between outer metal layers.
The stamped, plated and
laminated metal strip is unreeled at a controlled speed and insert-moulded with plastics.
Also newsworthy were pentane-soluble polyols for pour-in-place foams used in discontinuous metal-faced panels, as well new foam formulations for continuously
laminated metal panels.
The company supplies contacts and assemblies, contact materials, thermostatic and
laminated metal products, electroplating and surface treatment services, and precious metal refining and recycling to more than 3,000 customers.
Low-cost, high-performance
laminated metal composites will be available for aircraft engine containment and flight component applications, if a joint research effort is successful.
