Damplifier Gets an overhaul

About 6 months ago we had I decided to start working with a new chemical formulation company to increase the performance and the value of Damplifier and Damplifier Pro sound deadener mats.

After we analyzed everything, we found a few key spots to work on.

With Performance in mind, we wanted to get better sound deadening results with less material and less work for our customers.

Less material usually mean less performance though;

Thinner foil = less vibration damping.

Thinner butyl = less vibration damping.

Sure, the cost goes down but with such a large reduction in performance, we hardly though it was worth it, which is why we dropped Damplifier Lite from our menu. Even though Damplifier Lite performed better than all of the knock off roofing tape dampers out there, it was not a good fit for our brand. Second Skin has always been known for being top of the line and we plan on keeping it that way.

So here is what we are doing:

Damplifier is getting an overhaul.

The foil is getting an increase in thickness (by 50%) and temper (by 10%), while the adhesive will be thinner & lighter, but with more synthetic rubber added, and even less filler.

Because of the increase in adhesive quality, and the thicker foil, the heat rating will be slightly increased and the adhesion will improve as well.

As far as the damping performance, the product is going to be better in every measurable way.

So what you get is a (slightly) thinner, lighter & stronger sound deadener with a higher quality butyl that performs better than anything in its weight class, or price range.

Our first batch is going to be silver.

After that, ever batch will be black.

Also, the price is going to stay the same!

If any one has an sound deadening questions, please post them up in this thread, or call me.

We have the prototype in the shop right now.

Expect to see a video soon.

This stuff looks pretty promising. I may have to get some to give it a little comparison with some damplifier pro.
