Core Innovation

Thixotropic Materials

SoundBounce harnesses the phenomenon of thixotropy to provide superior noise attenuation. Thixotropic materials respond to energy, they activate when exposed to noise and vibration energy. 

This unique property enables superior low frequency attenuation, addressing a key challenge in noise reduction. Tackling the main sources of low-frequency noise such as engines, airflow and vibrations.

Structural Housing

Composite Design

The SoundBounce core material is housed in a cellular structure. The housing can be customised, as can the active material, to tackle specific noise challenges and environmental conditions that you want to address.

The housing structure is adaptable in terms of material selection and shape, providing additional characteristics including thermal wicking, flame resistance, structural strength, or insulating properties.
