The Design Engineering Reflect-A-Cool Heat Shield/Barrier is designed for automotive enthusiasts and builders seeking to mitigate extreme heat in various vehicle applications. Its key benefit is exceptional heat protection, capable of withstanding direct continuous heat up to 204°C and reflecting radiant heat up to 1093°C. A potential caveat is the need for careful surface preparation for optimal adhesive performance. This versatile barrier features a fiberglass construction with a reflective aluminum foil layer, a high-temperature adhesive backing, and a thin profile making it suitable for tight spaces.

The Reflect-A-Cool can withstand up to 204°C (400°F) of direct continuous heat.
It can reflect radiant heat up to 1093°C (2000°F).
This particular variant measures 12 inches by 12 inches.
No, it features a high-temperature self-adhesive backing and is easy to cut to size, making installation straightforward.
Yes, it is suitable for applications on body panels and other under-car components where heat mitigation is needed.
The material is only 0.17mm thick, making it suitable for applications with very limited clearance.
It is constructed from fiberglass with a layer of reflective aluminum foil.
Ensure the application surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any oils, grease, or dust. Reapply pressure to the shield after installation. For persistent issues, consider using a high-temperature adhesive promoter suitable for automotive use.
Use a sharp blade (utility knife or heavy-duty scissors) and cut slowly and steadily. Score the material first if necessary. Ensure the material is flat on a stable surface during cutting.
Handle the material with care during installation. Clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Setup: Clean the surface thoroughly where the heat shield will be applied. Ensure it is free of dirt, grease, and moisture. Cut the Reflect-A-Cool material to the desired shape and size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Peel the protective backing from the adhesive and carefully apply the material, pressing firmly to ensure good adhesion. For best results, ensure the reflective side faces the heat source.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most automotive surfaces including metal, plastic, and fiberglass. It is suitable for use in engine bays, firewalls, under car bodies, and interior cabin areas. It is specifically designed for applications where extreme heat mitigation is required.
Care: The surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the reflective surface or the adhesive bond. Periodically inspect the applied material for any signs of delamination or damage, especially after extreme heat exposure.
