ResoNix Butyl Rope

Stop Rattles For Good.

       ResoNix Butyl Rope is a butyl formula that’s extruded into a rope for use as a vibration damper, decoupler and as a butyl sealant tape. The butyl formula in the rope is slightly different from what ResoNix CLD Squares use since the butyl rope needs to perform several tasks.

       You can use ResoNix Butyl Rope as a decoupler between doors and baffles to make an airtight seal. It’s also useful to create a constrained layer damping system inside doors by placing it between the outer door skin and impact beams, with the impact beam acting as the constraining layer and the butyl rope as the viscoelastic layer.

       Additionally, ResoNix Rope provides an adhesive for small panels and panel clips to prevent vibration/rattles, and more. For best results, use this product with CLD and CCF. ResoNix Rope is a quick, easy, and inexpensive tool that serves as a jack of all trades, from decoupling to constraining, as mentioned above.

Key Notes
& Product Specifications

Our products have been proven to outperform the competition in independently conducted lab analysis.

       One of our customers, Eric H., recently sent in these photos of his installation. It is a perfect example of how to make use of ResoNix Rope. In his 2020 BMW X4M Competition, the door panels are made of several layers that are plastic welded together with tight tolerances between each layer. This is almost always a source of rattles in door panels. Take a look at photo 1. Eric applied leverage to lightly pry and provide more space between the overlapping layers of the door panel. While pried open, ResoNix Rope was inserted and pressed in around the areas that were applicable. You can see this in photo 2.

       For past and future ResoNix customers, feel free to send in pictures of your ResoNix products installation to be featured on the website.

ResoNix Butyl Rope Frequently Asked Questions

What is ResoNix Butyl Rope, and what are its primary uses?

      ResoNix Butyl Rope is a versatile, non-hardening butyl product designed for sound treatment in vehicles. Made from resilient, high-performance butyl, it is ideal for reducing rattles in small, specific areas. Common uses include stabilizing outer door skins by placing it between the crash bar and the door, preventing rattling in overlapping panel layers, and securing clips to eliminate vibration noise. It is an effective solution for addressing localized sound issues and improving vehicle acoustics.

       Yes, it is ideal for preventing rattles and vibrations in vehicle interiors. Its adhesive and damping properties secure loose components and reduce rattles and buzzes that are common in vehicle interiors.

       ResoNix Butyl Rope stands out due to its superior temperature resistance, strong adhesion, and ideal viscoelasticity. Unlike many other products in this category, it does not harden over time, maintaining its flexibility and effectiveness for years. Testing with our original samples dating back to 2019 shows no degradation, proving its long-term durability and performance compared to other options on the market.

     Yes, it is suitable for both automotive and non-automotive applications. While it is primarily designed for vehicle sound treatment, its high-performance properties make it effective for addressing rattles, sealing gaps, and reducing vibrations in various settings, including marine, industrial, and residential uses. Its versatility and durability ensure reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

      ResoNix Butyl Rope is made entirely of high-performance butyl with no unnecessary fillers. This pure composition ensures maximum effectiveness, durability, and consistent performance over time.

      Yes, itcan be used very effectively as a decoupler between doors and baffles, offering excellent adhesion and vibration isolation. However, its strong adhesion can make servicing the baffle more challenging. For easier maintenance, the ResoNix CCF Decoupler 3F Tape is often a cleaner option.

      Our Butyl Rope helps eliminate rattles and vibrations that cause noise inside vehicles. It stabilizes components like outer door skins, overlapping panels, and clips, preventing them from vibrating or rubbing against each other. By addressing these localized issues, it reduces unwanted noise and improves the overall acoustic environment in the vehicle, enhancing both comfort and audio performance.

        Yes, it is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and various weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments. For detailed specifications, please refer to the ResoNix Butyl Rope Technical Data Sheet.

      To ensure optimal adhesion, clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or grease. For even better adhesion, you can lightly scuff the surface with sandpaper, though this step is typically unnecessary for metal panels and most plastic panels. Once the surface is prepared, our Butyl Rope should adhere without any issues.

      Our Butyl Rope is not designed to be painted over. Due to its non-hardening and tacky nature, paint may not adhere properly to its surface. If painting is necessary, consider using a primer or covering the butyl rope with a paintable material. For more details, please refer to the ResoNix Butyl Rope Technical Data Sheet.

      Yes, our it is highly versatile and adheres well to a variety of surfaces including metal, plastic, glass, and painted surfaces. Its excellent adhesion ensures a secure seal across different materials.

       It is formulated to have no odor. For more information, refer to the Technical Data Sheet.

      The shelf life is technically up to 24 months when stored properly, but we have yet to see any of our 5 year old original samples exhibit any negative qualities over the years. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its performance characteristics.

      Yes, it remains flexible and can be removed or repositioned. However, for the best adhesion and sealing performance, it’s recommended to apply it correctly the first time.

      Our Butyl Rope exhibits excellent resistance to water, weathering, and some chemicals. However, prolonged exposure to certain oils and solvents may affect its integrity. The only solvent that I have personally found over the years that can reliably break down even the highest quality butyls in the sound deadening industry are electronics cleaner solvents.

      Yes, it is waterproof and provides an effective seal against moisture. It is suitable for marine applications, including sealing boat fixtures and components.

      Absolutely. our Butyl Rope is effective for sealing gaps and seams in HVAC systems, preventing air leaks, and improving system efficiency. It is able to withstand the temperatures that will be seen in these environments with no problem.

      Yes, it can withstand temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) continuously, but is known to be able to handle much higher temperatures in shorter time intervals. While it performs well in moderately high temperatures, it’s important to verify that your specific application doesn’t exceed its thermal limits.

    Unlike traditional caulking or silicone sealants that cure and harden over time, our Butyl Rope remains flexible and does not harden. This flexibility allows it to maintain a seal in applications subject to movement, vibration, or thermal expansion.

       No, our Butyl Rope is designed to maintain its shape and does not significantly shrink or expand over time. This stability ensures a long-lasting seal.

       It is relatively easily pulled apart and shaped by hand, but can be easily cut to exact lengths with scissors. I also sometimes use hand-held tools to help push it into tight tolerance areas.
