Regufoam

What it is and does:
Regufoam is a vibration-isolating material made of polyurethane foam and prevents a sound or vibration source from transmitting resonances a fundation. Impact noise is reduced due to the decoupling effect. Regufoam is a high-quality and durable product and retains its elasticity for a long time. Use Regufoam to decouple 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 customized 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 blocks (see product photos for some examples) of approximately 100 x 100 mm, or slightly larger. When too much Regufoam is applied under a vibration source, too much resistance is created, making the source unstable. This increases the risk of wear due to wobbling machines or equipment. Sources with a high centre of gravity are prone to imbalance and can easily topple. Depending on the application, you can work with so called blocks of approximately 100 x 100 mm with this scheme:

• Regufoam type D150 25 mm:     0 to   50 kg.
• Regufoam type D220 25mm:    50 to 100 kg.
• Regufoam type D300 25 mm: 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 part, or pads. This can be plywood or a concrete slab. A few examples are; washing machine, refrigerator, outdoor airco 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.
