Regufoam | Vibration insulation

What it is and does:
Regufoam is a vibration insulation made of acoustic polyurethane foam and prevents vibrating sources from transmitting resonances and impact noise to a foundation. Impact noise is reduced due to the decoupling effect of the vibration insulating properties. Regufoam is a high-quality and durable product and remains elastic for a very long time. Use Regufoam to soundproof vibrations and resonances from pumps, generators, compressors, computers, servers, kitchen equipment and air conditioning units.

Applications
Various types of Regufoam (indicated by the letter D for density per m³) are available, D150, D220, D300 and D400, making the product widely applicable for both industrial and private use.

• Home
  Regufoam D150 and D220 are suitable for many sound problems with impact noise in and around the house. Types with a thickness of 25 mm are used for low frequency resonances (heavy thump). The 12 mm thickness is used when the stability of equipment and machines is required, washing machines for example. As a ready-made solution, we also offer various damper sets.
• Industry
  For light industrial use you can use Regufoam as described on this page. It is advisable to contact us before you using Regufoam for heavy, industrial equipment and machines. For a customised solution we need some information such as the weight, dimensions and rotational speed of the source in question.

Which type of Regufoam Vibration Insulation to use
To decouple vibrating sources with Regufoam, it is best to use a number of Regufoam pieces, see product photos for some examples. Too much, or too soft, Regufoam can make a source, machine, unstable. It increases the risk of wear due to wobbling machines or equipment. Sources with a high centre of gravity are prone to imbalance, you best use a 12 mm thick Regufoam product. For most applications you can dived a sheet into 8 pieces of approximately 125 x 125 mm. Evenly distributed underneath a panel of plywood, tile or concrete slab. In most situations this should work great. With these indications you should obtain great results:

• Regufoam D150 / 25 mm - Green:            0 to  50 kg.
• Regufoam D220 / 25 mm - Purple:         50 to 100 kg.
• Regufoam D300 / 25 mm - Anthracite: 100 to 250 kg.

Examples from the product photos

• Treadmill insulation with blocks of Regufoam D150, about 12 parts of 125 x 125 x 25 mm (the amount of blocks depends on the weight of the person and treadmill).
• Decoupling of a light floor with Regufoam D150 12mm.
• Hifi loudspeaker with blocks of Regufoam D220 25 mm, about 100 x 100 x 25 mm.
• Studio floor insulating with Regufoam D300 25 mm, 100 x 100 x 25 mm, spacing 400 mm.

How to process
Regufoam can be cut to size with a sharp knife and mounted with contact adhesive or kit. When the source (machine e.g.) that produces vibrations is standing on small feet we recommend to use a sheet of heavy and rigid material that can distribute the load evenly a cross the Regufoam blocks. This can be plywood or a concrete slab. A few examples are; washing machine, refrigerator, outdoor aircon unit and loudspeakers. 

Properties

• Moisture-resistant (when used outside, wrap it waterproof in PU-Finishing Tape).
• Insensitive to mould, insects, bacteria and rot.
• Fully recyclable.
• Regufoam is not self-adhesive.
