Installation and placement notes
This insulation mat features a high quality self adhesive backing described as very strong. It is characterized as easy to install, handle, and cut, and flexible for fitting into various vehicle areas. The self adhesive format allows direct application to suitable surfaces.
As a self adhesive aluminum XPE foam mat, it is intended for automotive insulation use and is designed to be manageable during handling and cutting.
Performance characteristics described in the listing
The material is described as having the same characteristics and excellent noise insulator properties as rubber foam. The aluminum layer reflects radiant heat that foam only does not and is lighter in weight than butyl rubber aluminum composites. The creased crosshatching tends to disperse mid to high frequencies rather than just reflect them and helps it mold to curved surfaces.
With an operating temperature up to 215 degrees Fahrenheit, this closed cell foam sound deadener is designed for both heat insulation and noise control in automotive environments.
Review patterns buyers commonly mention
Buyers commonly mention that the material is very light and easy to install. Repeated comments indicate that it sticks well when the surface is clean and dry. Some users note that it lessened sound during brief knock tests and worked well for insulation in areas such as door panels, floors, trunk, hood, and roof. A recurring point in some reviews is that the adhesive backing may not be as sticky as expected in certain situations.
