Overview
The SmartSHIELD car noise sound deadening mat uses high density closed-cell foam for automotive noise insulation and heat management. Also, its construction combines aluminum, XPE foam, and glue in a self adhesive format.
The material is designed to support noise insulation while helping manage cold and heat inside a vehicle. It supports a well-insulated interior and high comfort during vehicle use. The foam offers noise insulator properties similar to rubber foam.
This automotive sound deadening mat comes as a 16-inch by 28-foot roll. The roll covers 36 square feet and measures 3 mm thick.
Key takeaways
- High density closed-cell foam combines aluminum, XPE foam, and glue.
- The roll measures 16 inches by 28 feet and covers 36 square feet.
- The material measures 118 mil, 0.118 inches, or 3 mm thick.
- A self adhesive backing supports direct application to suitable vehicle surfaces.
- The material supports automotive noise insulation and heat management.
- The operating temperature reaches up to 215 degrees Fahrenheit.
What the product is designed to do
This material functions as a sound deadener insulator for automotive applications. Also, it supports noise insulation while helping deal with both cold and heat.
Closed-cell foam uses sealed internal cells rather than open passages through the material. In this application, the foam carries noise insulator properties similar to rubber foam.
The closed-cell foam sound deadener also uses creased crosshatching. This surface tends to disperse mid to high frequencies rather than simply reflect them.
The flexible format helps the material mold to curved surfaces. Vehicle placement areas include door panels, floors, the trunk, hood, and roof.
Materials, dimensions, and technical details
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Materials | XPE, aluminum, rubber, and glue |
| Construction | High density closed-cell foam with an aluminum layer |
| Thickness | 118 mil, 0.118 inches, or 3 mm |
| Coverage | 36 square feet |
| Roll dimensions | 16 inches by 28 feet |
| Operating temperature | Up to 215 degrees Fahrenheit |
| Included component | XPE foam |
The aluminum layer reflects radiant heat that foam alone does not. Also, the material weighs less than butyl rubber aluminum composites.
Installation and placement notes
The mat features a self adhesive backing characterized as very strong. Also, the flexible foam is easy to handle, cut, and fit into different vehicle areas.
Clean and dry surfaces support stronger adhesion during application. The material may fit door panels, floors, trunks, hoods, roofs, and curved sections.
Careful cutting helps match the foam to the intended area. Next, direct pressure helps the adhesive backing contact the surface.
This self adhesive aluminum XPE foam supports manageable placement in automotive insulation work. A broader sound deadening installation guide can help organize surface preparation and placement steps.
Performance characteristics described
The foam carries noise insulator properties similar to rubber foam. Also, the creased crosshatching tends to disperse mid to high frequencies instead of only reflecting them.
The aluminum layer supports radiant heat reflection. In addition, the closed-cell foam helps deal with both cold and heat inside the vehicle.
The mat operates at temperatures up to 215 degrees Fahrenheit. Its flexible construction also helps it mold around curved automotive surfaces.
This 3 mm automotive noise insulation focuses on noise insulation and heat management. Its stated characteristics center on foam insulation, frequency dispersion, flexibility, and radiant heat reflection.
Review patterns buyers commonly mention
Buyers commonly mention that the material feels very light and remains easy to install. Also, repeated comments connect clean, dry surfaces with good adhesion.
Some users mention less sound during brief knock tests. In addition, recurring placement areas include door panels, floors, the trunk, hood, and roof.
Some comments note that the adhesive backing may feel less sticky than expected in certain situations. Surface condition and application pressure remain recurring installation points.
