Kitchen sink & the black mat stuck to the underside
 

Hi
Our kitchen sink had a black mat stuck to it's underside. It has fallen
off. Does anyone know the purpose of this mat? Is it for sound
deadening (as water flow into sink from taps) heat retention for hot
water.
If it has to be stuck on what's the best adhesive?

I think it's to help stop the metal flexing .I would imagine silicone would do
to restick it .

It's for sound deadening.

Evostik will stick it - the proper solvent one, not the toy mimsy version.

Never, the stiffness of metal is higher than that of the black pad.
It's for sound deadening to make a cheap thin metal sink sound more
expensive!
