• Cool-it Mat, from Agrienrach, is a new composite thermal/ sound insulation material for vehicles. It reduces both oppressive heat and excessive noise from engines for improved driver and passenger comfort.
The material is ideal for floorboard or firewall insulation, and good for doors, bonnets and transmission housings too. It is effective at resisting damage from mechanical abrasion so has a long service life.
A resin-bonded silica blanketing insulation is sandwiched between two outer facings—Mylar and foil. The middle layer, or spun glass blanket, is the main sound insulator and also assists heat dissipation. It is a dual. density product which is said to have excellent sound absorption at both low and high frequencies.
The product is available in 24x48in sheets or 24x50ft rolls. It can be easily trimmed to fit almost any application and fixing options include weather strip adhesive for low heat and push-in plastic fasteners for high heat applications.
