ya thats what i thought of too when i saw the paper. but the front side pics remind me of the sound dampening that was stock on my car. the rear peice that was 4in square had maybe a 1cm portion actually attached to the metal. Im not sure if its crap adhisive or installation but i doubt that was highly effective like that

Just to update this, here is the email I sent to Kenneth in regards to the product he sent me.

Product has a total thickness of 62-63 mils and sports a 5 mil thick aluminum constraining layer.

Typically with these products 4 mil foil is standard and not many have any thicker, so this is quite surprising to see a 5 mil thick foil on this product.

Downside is that the foil does not seem to be unique and is just a 'deadsoft' foil.

It is 100% butyl, no asphalt or tar whatsoever.

And it's of rather high quality butyl to boot with few fillers added. I would say the butyl on this would rank in the top 5 in terms of quality. Very few products have a butyl this 'clean'.

You can typically tell the quality based on the amount of residue a product leaves on a surface (less is better) and if the butyl is grainy (which this product isn't). Also the consistency of the rubber at room temp is also a tell-tale sign of the quality. Products that feel and seem more 'chewing gum' like (soft and squishy) at room temp are not a quality product. Whereas something like this that is much more stiff and solid at room temp will perform much better.

It does have a slight odor as I'm sure you're aware of, but it's nothing compared to a few others I've had/tested.

Overall, not a bad product.
