[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 3625824, member: 562649"] No, Protect0-Wrap is not "deadener." It's called peal n [B]seal[/B], not peel and deaden. Benefits to using asphalt-based "deadener": - it's cheaper - it's thinner - it's lighter - it's cheaper Lots of time and money has been spent by engineers seeking to make the most effective constrained layer damper (CLD) or visco-elastic constrained layer damper (VECLD) products. They are used in all sorts of commercial industries, automobiles is just one of them. Asphalt is not used in the engineering of these products. Why? Because it's not viscoelastic. Visco - water like: asphalt is petroleum-like. Elastic - ability to return to shape: asphalt is not rubber. Butylene is a rubber. If you put it on thick enough foil, you can stop the sheer forces in a vibrating substrate (sheet metal, plastic, fiberglass, etc). Thus, deadening. Actually, it's technically decoupling the resonant surface - taking vibration and converting it to heat. Peal n seal [B]can [/B]have some of the same effect. The benefit of which depends on the materials used and the application. Poor materials = poor adhesion over time = no damping = waste of time. In the end, you get what you pay for. Take it from a guy that has many products .....Protecto Wrap included..... AND real, God's honest CLD mat products on nearly every resonant surface of his automobile.
