Damping compounds

Damping Compound is a tacky, viscous gel that is designed to dampen the free motion of the component to which it is applied. Ordinary lubricants have the property of reducing friction between the mating surfaces, whereas Damping Grease is designed to create more friction and yet make motion smoother and more restricted. This smooth yet restricted or damped motion is free from play and produces a hydraulic/ hand-built feel. The electronics industry utilizes damping greases for potentiometers, rotary switches, tape recorder soft ejection assemblies, variable condensers, deflector coils, trimmers, plastic gears, and other components where damping of free motion is required.

The automobile industry uses damping grease in the production of automobile components, switchgear, mirror assemblies, etc. These greases also provide a smooth and easy motion to oculars, focusing and adjusting on screw and plane contracts.

Other applications include optical equipment, binoculars, radio, telescopes, microscopes, cameras, range finders, surveying and measuring instruments, electronic toys, hinges, builders’ hardware, etc.
