This material is not adhesive backed. It does not have a special adhesive for attaching it but a common adhesive used is our part number 05-00949.
The color in the front would be gray. This can be special ordered in beige but the minimum purchase qty would be 150ft.
It will not stretch well around complex curves or shapes.
Most customers use the Koolmat material on the firewall engine side with the gray side facing the engine because it won't absorb any liquids. It can be used on the inside to keep heat out of the cockpit area also.
No, there is no FAA Approval tied to this product.
The material is flexible, so if you can sew thru the silicone and fiberglass, it should work for you. We do not have any documents of its soundproofing capabilities, so we can not say how much sound damping it would provide.
