Constructed of a rubber-based polymer with an aluminium foil laminate outer facing. Boom Mats strong adhesive backing is unaffected by extreme hot and cold temperatures, it is corrosion resistant and can be applied to metals, painted areas and difficult to bond surfaces to name a few. With an ultra strong adhesive backing it can be applied in horizontal, vertical and inverted applications as well as on complex shapes.Eliminates vibrations, squeaks and rattlesReduces engine and road noise in the cabin.Strong self adhesive backing for adhesion to any surface and in any orientation.Can be cut and shaped for virtually any application.In addition to being a superior sound absorber and a solution in controlling vibration over a wide temperature range, Design Engineering Boom Mat is also an excellent thermal insulator. Capable of damping annoying low frequency noise, and serving as a barrier to unwanted mid and high frequencies. Dimensions: 12.5'' x 11.5'' (318 x 292mm). For hard to reach places (inside door panels, rear quarters etc) there is also a spray on foam which dries to touch in approx 20 minutes.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the sheet Boom Mat?
The standard sheet Boom Mat measures 12.5'' x 11.5'' (318 x 292mm). The spray-on version is a liquid applied product.
Can this be used on exterior surfaces?
While primarily designed for interior use, the corrosion-resistant nature of the material allows for exterior application where noise or vibration is a concern, provided the surface is properly prepared and protected from direct, prolonged environmental exposure.
How many cans do I need for my car?
Coverage varies greatly depending on the area treated and the number of coats applied. It is recommended to purchase enough to cover your intended application area, potentially starting with one or two cans and assessing the need for more.
Is this product effective against exhaust noise?
It can help dampen low-frequency exhaust drone, especially when applied to floor pans or near the firewall. However, for severe exhaust noise, it may need to be used in conjunction with other sound-deadening solutions.
Can I paint over the Boom Mat?
Once fully cured, the Boom Mat can typically be painted over, although testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended first to ensure compatibility with your chosen paint.
What is the best way to clean the application area?
The best method is to use a degreaser specifically designed for automotive surfaces. Ensure all residue is wiped away with a clean cloth, and allow the surface to dry completely before application.
Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Reapply after proper surface preparation.
Uneven spray pattern
Shake the can vigorously before and during use. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Test spray on a scrap surface first.
Product not drying
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area and within the recommended temperature range. Excessive humidity or cold can slow drying.
Noise reduction is minimal
Apply additional coats, ensuring proper drying time between layers. Verify that all major sources of noise and vibration have been treated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Significantly reduces cabin noise and vibrations.
Doubles as an effective thermal insulator.
Strong adhesive ensures reliable and long-lasting application.
Can be applied to various surfaces and orientations.
Dries quickly for convenient use.
Helps create a quieter, more comfortable driving experience.
Cons
Requires a properly prepared surface for best adhesion.
May require multiple coats for optimal sound dampening.
Aerosol application can be messy if not done carefully.
Effectiveness can vary based on the type and intensity of noise.
Not a substitute for proper structural sound deadening in extreme cases.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Surface Preparation: Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dirt. For optimal adhesion, surfaces should be degreased thoroughly.
Application: Shake the can well before use. Apply a thin, even coat to the desired area. For enhanced sound dampening, multiple coats can be applied, allowing the recommended drying time between each coat.
Drying: The spray dries to the touch in approximately 20 minutes. Full cure time may vary depending on environmental conditions.
Compatibility:
The Boom Mat is compatible with most automotive surfaces, including painted metal, bare metal, plastics, and some composites.
It is suitable for use in virtually any interior or exterior automotive application where noise or vibration is an issue.
Care:
Once cured, the Boom Mat is durable and requires no special maintenance.
Clean application areas before treatment. Avoid applying to excessively damp or dirty surfaces, as this will compromise adhesion.
