Second Skin Damplifier Pro Deadening Mats

Taylor — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 22:22:48 +0000

Stop the vibrations. Stop the noise. Up to 10x the performance of cheap knock offs.
Extreme tested from Death Valley to the Frozen Tundra Thermal range: -75°F to 450°F
Guaranteed to stick until pigs fly. Won’t melt, out gas, or fall off.

3 layer construction:

Constraint Layer
The foil constraint layer should be sturdy and rigid. The Second Skin annealed foil is 3x as thick as the cheap knock offs.
Butyl Composition
Butyl should be rubbery and elastic with a high tensile strength and elongation. Cheap fillers result in brittle, underperforming butyl.
Butyl Thickness
For a mat to be high performance, it needs to be at least 1mm thick (40 mil). Performance increases with thickness, but eventually plateaus.

More info:

Elastomeric butyl compound with no cheap fillers or asphalt
Annealed, black matte foil with ghosted Second Skin logos
2mm sound deadening material: total thickness (2mm)
Each sheet is 12” x 20” (1.67 sq ft) and weighs about 0.70 lbs/sq ft
Temperature rated from -75°F to 450°F
Guaranteed adhesion for the life of your vehicle
Proudly made in the USA
