Abstract

A device for deadening the sound of a component having a damping layer of a foamed material and a stiffening layer, which is fixedly connected to the damping layer and which is stiffer than the damping layer, wherein the damping layer is formed by a foamed hot-melt adhesive.

Claims (19)

1. A device for deadening the sound of a component, comprising:

a damping layer of a foamed material and

a stiffening layer, which is fixedly connected to the damping layer and

which is stiffer than the damping layer,

wherein the damping layer is formed by means of a foamed hot-melt adhesive,

wherein the damping layer is intended for the direct connection to the component, the sound of which is to be deadened, wherein the foamed hot-melt adhesive can be activated by means of a temperature increase, so that an adhesive surface for fastening the device to the component, the sound of which is to be deadened, is created,

wherein the damping layer includes at least 50% by weight of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA); and

wherein, together, the damping layer and the stiffening layer form at least 90% of the thickness of the device.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the damping layer has a larger thickness than the stiffening layer.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the stiffening layer has a metal foil and/or a plastic layer and/or cardboard and/or a bitumen layer, comprising an outer cover layer.

4. A composite system having

a component, the sound of which is to be deadened and

a device according to claim 1 , which is fixedly connected to the component, the sound of which is to be deadened.

5. A method for deadening the sound of a component comprising the steps:

attaching a device, which has a stiffening layer, and a damping layer of a foamed hot-melt adhesive, which is fixedly connected to the stiffening layer, to the component, the sound of which is to be deadened, wherein the stiffening layer is stiffer than the damping layer, and

establishing a fixed connection of the damping layer and the component by heating and subsequently cooling at least the damping layer of the device, wherein the damping layer includes at least 50% by weight of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA);

wherein, together, the damping layer and the stiffening layer form at least 90% of the thickness of the device.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein, together, the damping layer and the stiffening layer form at least 95% of the thickness of the device.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein, together, the damping layer and the stiffening layer form at least 98% of the thickness of the device.
