[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 55629, member: 20"] Transmission loss would be terribly low or non-existent in a gasket application. Teflon is far too stiff. What you need is a very compliant rubber acting as a low pass filter. Kef and others have done that before (not sure if they still do) and the material used was quite soft. Teflon might have some use in constrained layer or extended layer damping where its stiffness would match better to the damped component. But it depends on how lossy it is, I'm not sure how it stacks up against other materials normally used in these applications. [/QUOTE]
