Our 3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TAI4047 is engineered specifically for automotive sound absorption in a lightweight mat material. With an overall thickness of 23 mm and a basis weight of 400 g/m2, the material features excellent compressibility and recovery. The entire mat surface is double embossed for added abrasion resistance.
A Material Designed for Automotive Acoustic Performance
Part of our TAI family of acoustic absorbers for automotive OEM, 3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TAI4047 is a thin, low density (18 kg/m3) mat insulation and an excellent NVH material for applications where noise and mass reduction are major goals. Its internal web features thick and thin fibers and is designed specifically to absorb vibration and help reduce unwanted noise from traveling throughout vehicles.
Built for Lasting Noise Absorption
The internal web of the product is composed of a combination of polyester (PE) and polypropylene (PP) fibers. The PP fibers are extremely fine, allowing for high energy absorption without adding weight. The thicker PE fibers add loft, strength and stability to the web. The entire mat surface is doiuble embossed for added resistance to abrasion.
Properties of 3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TAI4047
This acoustic insulation mat material has a caliper of 23 mm and a basis weight of 400 gm/m2.
Compressible and Conformable for a Range of Applications
3M™ Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation TAI4047 is designed for excellent compressibility and recovery. This is ideal for application to vertical surfaces in vehicle cabins, such as inside door panels and for stuffing pillars. Its light weight properties also makes it effective for non load bearing horizontal surfaces, such as package trays, luggage compartments and headliners, for extremely consistent noise absorption throughout the application.
Our Thinsulate Acoustic Insulation TAI4047 can be processed utilizing conventional techniques such as die cutting. It attaches easily using ultrasonic welding, hot melt adhesive or mechanical fasteners.

The Science Behind How Thinsulate Acoustic Insulation Absorbs Noise
All sound is transmitted through the air as waves. These acoustic waves oscillate at differing frequencies. When oscillating waves contact the fine fibers
