Sylodamp® SP 10
Sylodamp SP 10 is a high-damping elastic polyurethane material from Getzner, engineered to absorb impact loads and attenuate structure-borne vibration in light-load construction and industrial applications. Its mixed-cell pore structure delivers a mechanical loss factor of 0.61 and impact resilience of just 13%, ensuring energy is absorbed rather than returned.

Applications
Used under machinery, equipment bases, and structural elements where impact loads and light static loads must be absorbed. SP 10 is the softest grade in the Sylodamp range, suited to lightly loaded installations where maximum energy absorption per unit area is required. Supplied in rolls and strips for field cutting or as punched pads to suit bearing area.
Frequently asked questions
How does SP 10 differ from other Sylodamp grades?
SP 10 has the lowest static load range in the Sylodamp family (up to 0.005 N/mm2) and the highest loss factor (0.61), making it the correct choice for the lightest loads where maximum damping efficiency is the priority. Higher grades such as SP 100 or SP 300 are used under heavier static loads.
What does a loss factor of 0.61 mean in practice?
The mechanical loss factor is a measure of how much energy is dissipated as heat relative to stored elastic energy. A value of 0.61 indicates that more than half the energy from each impact cycle is absorbed rather than returned as vibration, which is high for a polyurethane material.
Is the material suitable for outdoor or food-adjacent environments?
The SP 10 is rated for -30 degrees C to +70 degrees C. It is not listed as food-safe. For specific chemical or outdoor exposure requirements, contact Getzner for advice on compatibility.
