I want to develop the Indian version of Dynamat. UPDATE: Sample is ready for testing!

AbhiJ · 6th July 2008, 02:44

Thanks Dr. Chill.

Update: I have a sample ready. I need guinea pigs... sorry ... I mean volunteers!!

Anyone willing to give this a try? I ll send the volunteer a 2 ft X 3 ft sample to begin with. The sample is free .. of course!

My only requirement for the volunteer is that he/she should have used dynamat extreme before, so I can get an honest comparison.

well all the best. hope you get sucess and we get a cheaper dampening sheets locally in india

i just came across a product for roof insulation and it looked a bit like a tar or rubber base, without the aluminium of course. looks and feels like a sound insulator but i don't know much so i can't say for sure. i think its called roflex or something. anyone seen it?

agspins · 7th July 2008, 15:15

All the best bro you should give it a try.....i think some goa based firm swastik are already manufacturing some stuff though not sure, but yeah i saw this ad for the same in OD/ACI..they are havin this site baasfx.com....

I don't use Dynamat extreme (or any damping really). But once you are more towards the beta phase of things, I would more than love to be a volunteer. I promise to send all my friends to you if the product is good.

What would be ground breaking(but seems impossible?)is to be able to make a sound deadener that is light weight(relatively..). For those of us who are interested in performance.. light is king. I'd love to add some sound deadening to my modded cars, but the weight will always hold me back. You invent a light weight sound deadener, and I'll want to be the master distributor for the US.

tsk1979 · 10th July 2008, 15:44

you can try to PM navin. I think he has used all kinds of mats for damping.

I have something similar in mind...

I dont know if it ll work as well, but I am sure I can make a deadening sheet which is 1/2 the weight of regular products.

Update on Sample: Sorry for the delay..

Sample is ready, just working out the adhesion part of it.

I had spoken to them last week. The person claimed that they're getting the damping sheets imported.

Abhij - great effort and R&D. I am also willing to volunteer, but it would be better to get a guru like Naveen as he is very knowledgable and have indepth experience in this.

I will be one of your customers, ofcourse if your product is doing what it is meant for

@ AbhiJ

So when is test report surfacing ??? Try talking to Gunbir. He uses this kind of stuff on a professional basis all the time. I think you would get a REAL feedback from him.

Installers are the best judge for this kind of thing. We as consumers may not have the expertise to differentiate very well.

As Navin said, the difference between Dynamat & Dynamat Extreme is huge.

For a common person off the street it may be hard to tell the difference. B'coz more than half the time the "difference" is in the mind so to say !!!!

All the best for your project & hope to see it as a commercially viable alternative to the "firang" stuff !!

Cheers

chiragh_bir · 11th July 2008, 11:16

@ AbhiJ i think there are some more companies in India which make similar stuff don't know the names though ,will ask and let you know

Lalvaz · 11th July 2008, 14:19

Hey AbhiJ - Congrats on trying to develop a good import substitute. Have never used Dynamat earlier, but more than willing to be a volunteer. Always had a problem with road noise creeping in, and would love to be able to get some peace n quiet.

agspins · 11th July 2008, 16:01

Abhij bhai we are waiting for some pics of the specimen...
