NAVCOM (Noise and Vibration Control Material) is a highly effective vibration control material that absorbs the transmission of vibration throughout the broadband spectrum of 10 to 30,000hz. It was developed by Steven C. Sims in 1980 after 18+ months testing and trying various combination of butyl, raw silicone rubber, sorbothane, neoprene and numerous other visco-elastic materials in reducing direct vibration.
It gained its initial success in the audio, consumer electronics, aerospace and automotive industries. NAVCOM has since been used in numerous patented products, including recording studio insulation, computer hard drive isolation, mounting grommets, equipment handles and mulit purpose vibration absorption pads.
More recently, NAVCOM is being applied to recreational and sporting equipment to improve performance and increase the participant's comfort. some of the prestigious companies using our products made of NAVCOM are Louisville Slugger baseball bats, Powerbilt golf clubs, PSE bows, HOYT bows and Remington Arms recoil pads, To name a few
Simply put NAVCOM has the highest energy absorption rate with the fastest settling time characteristics of any material tested to date.
Each graph illustrates the amplitude of the generated wave as a function of maximum change in decibels. The horizontal axis shows the decay time in milliseconds.
It is evident from testing that NAVCOM outperforms the other visco elastic materials in reducing direct vibration. the test represents only a small amount of the complete test date recorded for NAVCOM
