Product Information

Full details

The COOL IT Thermo-Tec Heat Resistant Mat is designed for automotive enthusiasts and builders seeking to mitigate extreme heat and noise in their vehicle's interior. Its primary benefit is its ability to reflect up to 2000° F (1093° C) of radiant heat, creating a more comfortable and safer driving environment. A potential caveat is that while it reduces heat penetration, it requires proper installation to be most effective. Key features include its highly reflective surface, durable construction with silica blanketing insulation, and ease of customization.

FAQs

What is the maximum temperature the mat can withstand?

The Cool-It Heat Resistant Mat can reflect up to 2000° F (1093° C).

Can I cut the mat to fit my specific application?

Yes, the mat is designed to be easily trimmed with sharp scissors or a utility knife to fit various shapes and sizes.

How is the mat typically installed?

It can be installed using the provided push-in fasteners, automotive-grade adhesive, or strong double-sided tape. Proper adhesion is key for effectiveness.

Is this mat only for racing cars?

No, while ideal for racing applications, it is also highly beneficial for street cars, custom builds, and restorations to reduce heat and noise from engine, exhaust, and transmission areas.

Does it help with engine bay temperatures?

Yes, it can be used under the bonnet to help manage engine bay temperatures, protecting components and potentially improving performance by reducing heat soak.

What is the material construction?

It is constructed from a resin-bonded silica blanketing insulation sandwiched between two heat-reflective foil surfaces.

How do I clean the mat?

You can clean the reflective surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Mat not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Use a stronger automotive-grade adhesive or ensure fasteners are securely engaged.

Reduced heat protection effectiveness

Verify the mat is fully covering the intended area with no gaps. Check that the reflective side is facing the heat source. Ensure the mat is not damaged or compressed.

Difficulty cutting the mat cleanly

Use a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife or specialized matting shears. Cut from the non-reflective side and use a straight edge as a guide for precise lines.

Noise reduction is minimal

Ensure the mat is installed as close to the source of noise as possible and that all edges are sealed. Additional layers or different types of sound-deadening material may be needed for significant noise issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively reflects extreme temperatures, improving comfort and safety.
  • Helps to significantly reduce road and engine noise intrusion.
  • Durable construction designed for harsh automotive environments.
  • Flexible and easy to cut, allowing for a custom fit in various locations.
  • Provides excellent thermal protection for sensitive components.

Cons

  • Requires proper fitting and securing for optimal performance.
  • Installation may involve some effort depending on the application area.
  • The reflective foil surface can be susceptible to scratching or abrasion if not handled carefully during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the area where the mat will be installed.
  2. Using sharp scissors or a utility knife, carefully cut the mat to the required dimensions. Always cut from the non-reflective side for cleaner edges.
  3. Clean the surface where the mat will be applied, ensuring it is free from dirt, grease, and moisture.
  4. Secure the mat using the provided push-in fasteners, automotive-grade adhesive, or strong double-sided tape. Ensure a snug fit with no gaps, especially around edges.

Compatibility: This mat is compatible with most car makes and models. It can be used on metal, plastic, and composite surfaces within the vehicle's interior and engine bay. Ensure the intended mounting surface can withstand the temperatures being managed.

Care:

The heat-reflective foil surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the foil or insulation. Regular inspection of fasteners or adhesive is recommended to ensure the mat remains securely in place.
