3. Calm sound insulation and sound-absorbing cotton

Calm sound insulation and sound-absorbing cotton is a new type of sound insulation material, which is mainly used in the production of industrial rubber and plastics. It is made by the  foaming forming of nitrogen and adding different specifications of sound insulation particles. It is covered with micro sound-absorbing holes and special-shaped sound-absorbing grooves, which can effectively filter noise of different frequency and wavelength. The material itself is very environmentally friendly and lightweight.

4. Sound insulation damping felt

Sound insulation damping felt has been widely used as the material of sound insulation wall in recent years, which is mainly composed of organic minerals with the introduced foreign advanced technology in production. The sound insulation felt has a very good effect on wide-band sound insulation and high damping. It can control noise and gradually attenuate the noise in the transmission path, especially the low-frequency noise.
