VIBRATION DAMPING COMPOUNDS

Decidamp® DC06 – Two-Component Constrained Layer Damping Compound
High-Performance Vibration & Noise Control for Marine, Rail & Industrial Applications

Decidamp® DC06 is a two-component viscoelastic damping compound designed for constrained layer damping (CLD) systems. Applied between a substrate and a counter plate, it cures to form a high-strength damping layer that efficiently reduces structure-borne vibration and airborne noise across marine, rail and heavy industrial environments.

With excellent adhesion to steel, aluminium and composite substrates, DC06 offers long-term mechanical durability, fire safety compliance and resistance to thermal cycling—making it ideal for applications where acoustic performance and reliability are critical.

Coverage Information

Supplied as a 15 kg two-component kit (Part A + Part B) in a single pail.
A 1 mm thick coating using a 15 kg kit provides approximately 6 m² coverage.

Key Features:

Two-component viscoelastic compound for constrained layer damping systems
Reduces structural vibration, impact noise and resonance
Excellent adhesion to steel, aluminium and composite materials
Fire tested and compliant with IMO and marine performance standards
High mechanical strength and durability under thermal cycling
Suitable for high-load and heavy structural applications

Typical Applications:

Marine hulls, decks, bulkheads, propeller and thruster regions
Rail carriage and transport flooring systems
Industrial plant equipment and heavy machinery enclosures
Boiler and furnace casings exposed to vibration and noise
Structural applications requiring long-term acoustic damping and stability

Decidamp® DC06 is trusted globally for delivering effective vibration damping and noise reduction in demanding structural, marine and industrial environments.

Important note: Decidamp® DC06 is designed for constrained layer damping systems and is typically applied between a substrate and counter plate. This calculator estimates material only and does not account for counter plates, substrate preparation, tile spacing, application losses or installation method.

Note: Results are estimates only and should be used as a guide. Customers are responsible for determining the quantity required for their specific application.

How Much Will One 15 kg Kit Cover? ▾

Already know your required dry film thickness (DFT)? Use this quick reference table to estimate the coverage provided by a single 15 kg kit of Decidamp® DC06.

Dry Film Thickness (DFT)	Coverage per 15 kg Kit
1 mm	6.0 m²
2 mm	3.0 m²
3 mm	2.0 m²
4 mm	1.5 m²
5 mm	1.2 m²
6 mm	1.0 m²

Note: Coverage is based on published Decidamp® DC06 coverage information of approximately 6 m² per 15 kg kit at 1 mm DFT. Actual coverage may vary depending on substrate condition, counter-plate layout, application method and wastage.

Installation Guide ▾

Helpful installation information for Decidamp® DC06. DC06 is designed for constrained layer damping systems, where the compound is applied between the substrate and a counter-plate to reduce structure-borne vibration and noise.

Prepare Surface

Clean, dry and free from oil, grease, rust, dust and loose contaminants.

Mix Thoroughly

Mix Part A and Part B in the supplied ratio before application.

Apply by Trowel

Typically applied with a notched trowel before fitting the counter-plate.

Fit Counter-Plate

Bond counter-plates firmly into position to create the CLD sandwich system.

Typical Working & Cure Information

Item	Typical Information
Recommended application temperature	5–35°C
Pot life once mixed	Approx. 45 minutes, depending on conditions
Full cure at 25°C	Approx. 24 hours, depending on conditions
Typical recommended thickness	2 mm DFT
Operating temperature once cured	-40°C to 120°C

Application Tips

Use appropriate PPE, including eye protection, gloves and safety clothing.
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and free from liquid, dirt, oil, grease, flaky paint, rust, wax or release agents.
Scuff smooth surfaces to improve bond strength; rough surfaces should be free from dust and grease.
Priming is recommended on steel surfaces where required.
Mix Part B into Part A thoroughly using a low-speed drill with a ribbon or paddle mixer.
Do not overwork the mixed product, as this can start the curing process.
Apply using a notched trowel and position the counter-plate while the compound is workable.
Apply firm, even pressure to the counter-plate to help avoid air pockets and improve bonding.
Maintain spacing between counter-plates so they do not touch each other or other structural components.

Counter-Plate Guidance

DC06 performs best in a constrained layer “sandwich” system.
Perforated counter-plates are generally recommended.
Counter-plates are typically steel, aluminium, glass laminate or plastic, depending on the structure.
For steel substrates, counter-plates are commonly around one third of the substrate thickness.
For GRP/FRP sandwich substrates, the counter-plate thickness should generally match the glass skin in contact with the product.
Large counter-plates or curved surfaces may require additional consideration or mechanical fastening.
Where regular water exposure is expected, DC06 and the counter-plate should be sealed after full cure with a suitable waterproofing sealant or coating.
