Adcobond 4189-3 sound damping pad is a combination of energy-absorbing mastic material and an aluminum top layer that provides maximum sound damping. The mastic damping material converts vibratory energy into heat through extension and compression, effectively reducing noise levels on the treated substrate. The aluminum top layer maximizes this effect by redirecting any escaping vibratory energy back into the mastic layer.
