CAIM
CAIM is a heavy composite acoustic panel from AMC Mecanocaucho that combines thermal insulation with added mass-damping for vibration control. It incorporates an aluminium facing over fibreglass support, M-1 F1 class absorbing foam, and a 5 kg/m2 visco-elastic mass layer, making it particularly effective in maritime and industrial environments where both insulation and damping are required.
Specifications
- Composition: Aluminium facing with fibreglass support, M-1 F1 class absorbing foam, and 5 kg/m2 visco-elastic mass layer
- Thickness: 50 mm
- Sheet dimensions: 1200 x 1000 mm
- Weight per sheet: 11 kg
- Sound reduction index (Rw): 34 dB
- Product code: 28402
Applications
Insulation and vibration damping in nautical and marine environments, including ship bulkheads, engine room panels, and industrial enclosures. The added visco-elastic mass layer increases panel weight to damp structural vibrations while the M-1 F1 rating suits fire-regulated spaces. Also applicable in heavy machinery enclosures requiring combined heat and sound management.
Standards and compliance
Fire classification M-1 (fire-retardant) and smoke classification F1 (excellent smoke behaviour) per European classification for industrial and marine applications.
Frequently asked questions
How does CAIM differ from CAI?
CAIM includes an additional 5 kg/m2 visco-elastic mass layer not present in CAI. This raises the sheet weight from 4 kg to 11 kg and improves the sound reduction index from 33 dB to 34 dB, with the mass layer specifically targeting vibration damping alongside insulation.
Is CAIM suitable for marine applications?
Yes. CAIM is designed with nautical applications in mind. Its M-1 fire rating, good smoke behaviour, and combined insulation and damping performance make it well suited to ship bulkheads and marine engine rooms.
