Sound dampening coating




I have a wire form made of .1205" dia 1070 steel it is currently being nylon plated to reduce sound dampening. The wire is a glove box striker which prevents the glove box from opening. I need help finding a coating which we prevent any noise from occurring when you close the glove box door. The nylon works good but the customer what more dampening.

First of two simultaneous responses --

A great product to use as a dampener would be a Polyurea. Polyureas are a fast cure (tacks in 45 seconds ) high build membrane that is 100% VOC-free part can be installed in miniutes. Web site available to public Polyurea.com.

Second of two simultaneous responses --

Consider contacting an electrical wire manufacturer who produces coated wire. That type coating might work well in providing dampening, and I would suspect someone will produce the exact type wire you need.
