Straight from the SecondSkin website:
"The thick foil on Damplifier offers three thermal insulation benefits.

First, the foil acts as a radiant barrier, reflecting heat back towards the source. When used on the firewall, this prevents as much heat from making it in to the cabin of the car. Less heat means cooler temperatures.

Second, the foil heat shield on Damplifier is dissipates heat by increasing the surface content, allowing for thermal dissipation and reduction.

Third, the butyl layer slows down any remaining heat from getting in to the cabin of the car. The longer it takes the heat to get to you, the more comfortable you are."
That is all taken from the thermal benifits page.

Those benifits are for heat only.

The benifits change greatly when vibration damping is the issue.

In laymens terms, the foil stablized the butyl and allows the butyl to absorb vibrations and convert them in to heat. With out the foil there is no energy conversion. without the conversion you are only adding weight.

Adding weight can help, and has its place but is only a very small part of the puzzle.

haha this stuff is for rubber roofs man its not asphalt based so it dont melt trust me it gets hotter than hell up on the roof maybe I'll send out some samples
Havn't we already been down this road 3000 times in the last 5 years?

I trust that you beleive that it gets hot on roofs.

But when the product is placed in the shade of roofing tiles it is not seeing the same heat that it sees when it is applied on black painted sheet metal that is sitting in a parking lot all day long..
