Aptflex F41 Acoustic Putty
This two part mix acoustic putty from Acoustic Polymers Ltd has been developed to ensure that the joins between acoustic tiles can be sealed. This will to prevent water ingression behind the tile.
Aptflex F41 is a two-component, high performance, polyurethane sealant with acoustic absorption properties. Acoustically, the material has a high void fraction and is therefore very absorbing.
Typical applications may include:
- Gap filler for test tank lining
- Directly applied acoustic absorber for vertical or inclined surfaces
- Bedding/mounting compound for sensitive devices
- Acoustic adhesive
- Acoustic repair compound
Using innovative chemically induced thixotropy, the mixed product takes the form of a sealant that exhibits remarkable ‘non-sag' properties facilitating direct application to vertical or inclined surfaces. When mixed, the material can be ‘piped', beaded or plastered, into place without sagging.
In cured form, the material is a touch resilient rubber with excellent hydrolytic stability.
