Custom Die-Cut Products to Reduce Automotive Noise, Vibration, and Harshness
ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified, JBC Technologies is the go-to converter partner for automotive OEMs and tier suppliers that need die-cut solutions to automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) challenges.
Whether it's acoustic door-panel insulation to minimize noise and vibration or headliner damping to reduce vehicle harshness, JBC Technologies offers a broad range of die-cut performance NVH dampening materials engineered for automotive sound deadening applications.
Let’s work together to turn your NVH challenges into quality solutions.
APPLICATIONS
Today’s consumers have shifted their focus from fuel economy to comfort and construction and, like it or not, quiet is a signifier quality. Custom die-cut NVH dampening material solutions from JBC Technologies help automotive OEMs and tier suppliers with even the most challenging noise problems including wind noise, engine vibration, tire noise, body structure noise, and EV electric motor/high frequency sounds.
Door Panels • Glove Box • Head Liner • Under-Hood • Wheel Housing Liners • Under-Trunk • HVAC Duct Liners • Dashboard Noise Control • Gas Tank Pads
Several areas for custom die-cut components that target automotive NVH include:
- Sound-deadening headliner inserts — to reduce airborne and structure-born noise in the vehicle cabin.
- Vibration isolation pads — to dampen and isolate vibrations caused by the engine, suspension, and other sources.
- Damping materials — to reduce resonance and vibration.
- Acoustic insulation — to reduce the transmission of sound through the vehicle's body panels and floor.
- Thermal/Acoustic Barriers - for targeted acoustic and thermal protection for engine shields, tunnel insulators, dash insulators, hood insulators, engine compartments, and more.
- Anti-squeak materials — to reduce noise caused by friction between different components of the vehicle, such as the dashboard and the windshield.
- Gaskets: Custom die-cut gaskets can be designed to fit specific areas of the vehicle and prevent noise and vibration from escaping or entering.
- Weatherstripping — to reduce wind noise and prevent water from entering the cabin.
- Foam seals — to block out unwanted noise and vibration from entering the cabin through gaps around doors, windows, and other openings.
Performance Materials for Automotive NVH
JBC's customers benefit from custom die-cut solutions for automotive NVH fabricated with industry-leading noise suppression materials, made by the world’s best material manufacturers. Names that include
3M • TENNECO • AIM Fiber • Rogers Corporation • Armacell • Saint-Gobain
Together with these and other partners we’ll figure out the best combination of performance material and manufacturing process to target your automotive NVH applications.
Examples of the performance materials you’ll have available to use in your custom NVH solutions include:
Synthetic Acoustic Blankets
Synthetic acoustic blankets, such as 3M™ Flexile Acoustic Material FAB0910, TENNECO Quietshield®, and AIM Fiber's Autozorb™, are designed to reduce noise and vibration in automotive applications. These lightweight and flexible materials are often used as insulation in the vehicle's interior to block airborne and structure-borne noise and improve overall acoustic performance.
Microcellular Polyurethane Foams
Microcellular polyurethane foams, such as Rogers PORON® and 3M ISOLOSS™, are widely used in the automotive industry to address noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) challenges. These lightweight and resilient foams can be custom die-cut to fit specific areas of the vehicle and help reduce noise and vibration caused by engine, suspension, and road noise.
TABshield Thermal Acoustic Barrier
TABshield is a high-performance thermal and acoustical barrier material designed for automotive applications. This lightweight and flexible material is often used as a heat shield to reduce engine and exhaust heat, as well as an acoustic barrier to block unwanted noise and vibration. TABshield can be custom die-cut to fit specific areas of the vehicle and provide superior NVH performance.
Acoustic Foams
General acoustic foam like Armacell Ensolite® is a lightweight material that is widely used in the automotive industry to reduce noise and vibration. It can be custom die-cut to fit specific areas of the vehicle and is often used as an insulation layer to reduce airborne and structure-borne noise in the vehicle cabin.
