Classified as a car sound deadening mat, it is constructed from automotive butyl and foil and is intended for installation on interior vehicle surfaces. The material is supplied in sheets and is described as suitable for do-it-yourself installation.
This solution features an 80 mil thickness and provides a total coverage area of 36 square feet. The sheets measure 15.7 inches by 9.8 inches, allowing for measured application across doors, floors, trunks, and other metal panels. The unit count is approximately 36 square feet, and the material is aluminum-backed with a butyl-based adhesive layer.
Material Composition and Construction
The insulation consists of automotive self-adhesive butyl combined with an aluminum foil layer. The foil surface includes a special embossed pattern designed to indicate correct installation. According to product details, the embossing must be rolled until it becomes smooth and flat to confirm proper adhesion.
The total weight is specified as 0.5 pounds per square foot for the 80 mil thickness configuration. The product information identifies the material type as aluminum, while the insulation layer itself is butyl-based. This combination is described as optimized for sound insulation and vibration dampening within automotive environments.
For direct access to specifications and construction details, review the 80 mil automotive butyl and foil sound deadening listing.
Installation Characteristics
The material is described as very sticky and self-adhesive. Installation guidance states that surfaces should be clean and degreased prior to application. The foil’s embossed indicator assists in identifying areas that have been rolled sufficiently during installation. A roller is recommended for proper adhesion and smoothing.
Safety information specifies that gloves should be worn during installation to protect hands from sharp foil edges. Installation in a well-ventilated area is also advised, particularly while preparing metal surfaces.
The sheets are sized to support easier cutting and positioning. Reviews frequently reference ease of installation and strong adhesion as recurring characteristics. Many users describe the adhesive as aggressive while still allowing repositioning during placement.
Detailed installation guidance and product data are available via the car sound deadening mat specifications page.
