Vibra® Rail Heavy-Duty Foil - Aluminium
Vibra® Rail Heavy-Duty Sheet – Sound insulation and structure-borne sound damping for rail vehicles, mechanical engineering and lightweight constructions
Vibra® Rail Heavy Foil was developed to reliably reduce disruptive vibrations, rumbling noises and airborne sound transmission in lightweight structures. Manufactured from a thermoplastic, viscoelastic material with high mass density, it operates on a simple yet highly effective principle: By increasing the mass per unit area, the airborne sound insulation of thin-walled components such as sheet metal, panels or plastic sheets is significantly improved. At the same time, the material’s internal damping ensures that vibrations and resonances are attenuated – thus providing dual protection against airborne and structure-borne noise.

Vibra® Rail Heavy-Duty Sheet was developed to reliably reduce disruptive vibrations, rumbling noises and airborne sound transmission in lightweight structures. Manufactured from a thermoplastic, viscoelastic material with high mass density, it operates on a simple yet highly effective principle: By increasing the mass per unit area, the airborne sound insulation of thin-walled components such as sheet metal, panels or plastic sheets is significantly improved. At the same time, the material’s internal damping ensures that vibrations and resonances are attenuated – thus providing dual protection against airborne and structure-borne noise.
Vibra® Rail really comes into its own in the automotive and rail sectors. It is designed to meet the high requirements of the EN 45545 standard for rail vehicle construction and can therefore also be used in safety-critical areas. Furthermore, it remains functional and elastic at temperatures up to +100 °C, making it ideal for continuous operation under demanding conditions.
Another advantage lies in its practical application. The film is self-adhesive and can therefore be applied quickly, securely and cleanly. Even with complex geometries or hard-to-reach areas, the flexible structure allows for a precise fit. This enables components such as doors, walls, panelling or machine covers to be acoustically optimised efficiently and with minimal effort.
Its potential applications extend far beyond rail vehicle construction: in the automotive sector, Vibra® Rail is used to dampen body parts and interior trim. In mechanical engineering, it reduces vibrations and operating noise on housings, covers or sheet metal cladding. The film can also be used in building interiors to noticeably improve the sound insulation of lightweight walls, doors or technical installations.
Thanks to its combination of high mass density, viscoelastic damping and certified fire safety, Vibra® Rail is a versatile acoustic material that meets the increasing demands for noise and vibration protection. At the same time, it impresses with its durability and ease of use, which enables cost-effective processing on an industrial scale as well as rapid implementation in individual projects.
Delivery form
Vibra®Rail heavy-duty sheets are supplied as standard in untrimmed sheet form and can also be manufactured to exact specifications as custom-cut sheets on request. The high flexibility and good conformability of the heavy-duty sheets enable precise further processing, even with complex geometries, and ensure straightforward integration into acoustic, vibration and insulation applications.
To ensure perfect material quality, it is recommended to store the heavy-duty films tension-free, flat or in their original format
