Questions and Answers

Airborne sound travels through the air (for example, speech, machine noise or music), whereas structure-borne sound is transmitted through solid materials such as walls, floors and metal. Antiphon's structure-borne sound damping products address the vibrations that cause structure-borne noise.

NVH stands for Noise, Vibration & Harshness – a comprehensive international term describing how sound, vibrations and unpleasant resonances affect comfort, performance and quality. Antiphon's NVH solutions reduce these factors by providing damping, insulation and absorption directly within the construction.

Antiphon's solutions are utilised in the automotive, energy, industrial, construction and transport sectors, as well as in marine and infrastructure projects where sound, vibrations and heat need to be controlled. In short, they are used wherever noise needs to be managed and limited.

antiphon® MPM (Metal Polymer Metal) is a structure-borne sound damping metal laminate that combines strength, rigidity and sound attenuation in a single material. It reduces vibrations and structure-borne noise directly in the metal and is frequently used in vehicles, machinery and building modules.

The mats are made from unique materials that is applied to a surface. When the structure vibrates, the kinetic energy is converted into heat through internal friction, which dampens vibrations and reduces noise.

Airborne sound absorbers capture and reduce airborne noise by converting sound waves into heat energy within the porous structure of the material. They are used in vehicles, buildings, engine rooms and ventilation systems to create quieter environments.

They protect against radiant heat and high temperatures while also contributing to sound damping.
Antiphon's thermal insulating materials are used in engine compartments, boiler rooms, turbines and other environments exposed to high temperatures.

Yes, Antiphon’s products are designed to work in harmony.
By combining, for example, structure-borne vibration damping materials, airborne sound absorbers and thermal insulation, you can create complete NVH systems that address noise, vibration and heat alike.

Antiphon combines various products to create complete solutions. The starting point is to identify the type of disturbance that needs to be addressed.
– Airborne noise – use sound absorbers.
– Structure-borne noise and vibrations – use MPM or damping pads.
– Heat and radiation – use thermal insulating materials.
Antiphon's specialists will help you find the best solution.

By reducing heat losses, vibrations and noise, Antiphon’s products contribute to more efficient operation and lower energy consumption in both vehicles and industrial systems.

Antiphon places great emphasis on sustainability throughout the entire product life cycle—from material selection and manufacturing to use and recycling.

Our products are developed to have a long service life, low weight, and high efficiency, which helps reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact during operation.

Most of our materials are free from halogens and harmful fibers; many are also recyclable or made from recycled raw materials.

We strive to replace traditional, heavy, and energy-intensive materials with lightweight, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternatives that improve acoustics, thermal insulation, and energy efficiency.
