Why Should I use Silent Running?
Silent Running is a unique high technology liquid sound and vibration control product. It is basically a liquid sound-deadening agent. It literally removes noise and unwanted vibrations by converting them into low-grade heat. It does not have a foul smell and cleans up with soapy water. And it adheres to most surfaces.

Where do I use Silent Running?
Silent Running products are used all over the world to solve many noise and vibration problems in the Industrial, Transportation, Appliance, Marine, Construction and HVAC industries. Use it on boats, buses, RV's, airplanes, noisy machines and tracks, vibratory sorting devices, motor cabinets and more. Use Silent Running products anywhere there is a major source of noise, vibrations or motion.

SR 1000 works by converting noise energy and vibrations into a low-grade heat, which is then dissipated throughout the applied surface.

SR 500 is a high performance coating specifically designed to eliminate unwanted sound and vibration. SR 500 works by converting noise energy and vibrations into a low-grade heat, which is then dissipated throughout the applied surface.

SR 600 works by reducing moisture build-up by increasing the surface area to allow the moisture to evaporate faster and by converting noise energy and vibrations into a low-grade heat, which is then dissipated throughout the applied surface.

Silent Running is made to stop structure borne noises. These come from vehicle vibrations in the body panels, the engine, the suspension, the A/C system and more. With all these unwanted vibrations in check, the vehicle is much quieter on the freeway.

The old way of removing unwanted noise was to add heavy asphalt mats to the body metal. Believe it or not, this is still done today. What these heavy mats do is add mass to the body panel, often as much as the panel itself. This doesn't remove the vibration; it just lowers the intensity.

Here's why: like in the speaker example above, the speaker keeps playing; it’s just not as loud. That's because with the same power vibrating the panel, it can’t move the extra weight as easily. The problem vibration is still there. Remember sound is logarithmic. So if you added twice the weight to the panel, it wouldn't remove half the sound, only enough that you could just hear it. You would have to add lots of asphalt mats to get rid of half the noise.

Silent Running WORKS IN A DIFFERENT WAY
Instead of being a Band-Aid and trying to cover up the sound, Silent Running works like a cure for the vibration problem. It actually gets rid of the vibration by converting it into low-grade heat.

What happens is the back and forth vibrations, or mechanical energy, are converted to thermal energy or heat. It would take a thermometer that could read down to .001 degrees to see it, but this ""Viscoelastic" conversion is what happens when you use Silent Running coatings.

Have you ever pushed on a rubber-like substance that didn't come back to its original shape as fast as you pushed it in? That's just what Silent Running is doing. It doesn't offer much resistance in one direction, but there's a lot in the other direction. The metal can move easily in one direction, but not the other, something like a speaker that could only move out and not back.

Silent Running does exactly what it says it does... stops unwanted noise and vibration.
