Heat Shield Products is committed to serving the performance and racing industry with the highest quality heat barrier and insulation products. The range includes cutting edge products to solve all your insulation needs. All materials are asbestos free, resistant to water, fungus, petroleum products, and are non combustable. Whether it is street, strip or track, Heatshield products has you covered to stay cool and keep an edge over the competition. Materials are mostly made of aluminium, but also can include other forms of metal or alloys such as stainless steel (982.2°C (1800°F) continuous) and inconel (1204.4°C (2200°F) continuous). Aluminium materials melt at 663.88°C (1227°F) and are designed to be used as shields, not insulators. Aluminium reflects radiant heat away, often exceeding more than 90% eficiency with 1000°F of continuous radiant heat (radiant heat means it is placed with at least a minimum 25mm (1") air gap from heat source). Otherwise, they can withstand up to 260°C (500°F) of a direct heat source. |
