Noise Reduction (NVH & BSR)
Coatings provide noise reduction while adding service life to high wear areas. NVH coating (noise, vibration, and harshness) & BSR coating (bump, squeak, and rattle) are terms related to the automotive industry. NVH has been a persistent problem for the automobile manufacturers and their suppliers, as noise is one of the highest ranked complaints of car owners.
The quality of today’s autos is more competitive than ever. Scrutiny of the slightest noise, measured by the most sophisticated instruments, can be the difference between Best in Class, or just one of the cars in the category. DECC was fortunate to be selected to coat components that go to the new Tesla, for noise reduction. The Tesla is completely battery powered, and there is no motor noise to mask squeaks or other BSR related sounds. For noise and squeak reduction please arrange to send us samples, which we will coat up with your evaluation, (most times) at no charge.
A common automotive application for noise reduction includes interior hardware mechanisms. BSR coating or NVH coating can help reduce friction and dampen the vibration, leading to the reduction or elimination of unwanted noise.
Squeak reduction is also a common issue in the furniture industry as well. Currently DECC applies these types of coatings that serve as lubricants which allow for improved ease of use and enhanced adjusting of ergonomic seating mechanisms for two major office furniture manufactures.
