The Design Engineering Reflect A Gold Heat Protection is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers seeking to manage radiant heat in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is reflecting up to 80% of radiant heat while offering significant weight savings due to its extremely light, flexible polymer-laminated glass cloth construction. A key consideration is its continuous operating temperature limit of 450° C, which may not suit extreme, prolonged direct heat exposure. Key features include its thin profile, high heat reflectivity, self-adhesive backing, and ease of application.

The Reflect A Gold material can handle continuous operating temperatures of up to 450° C (842° F).
It reflects up to 80% of all radiant heat.
It is not recommended for direct contact with exhaust pipes due to extreme temperatures. It is best used to shield surrounding components from the radiant heat of exhaust systems.
This specific roll is 1.5 inches wide and 15 feet long.
The material features a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that is designed for easy application and removal. While it holds securely, it can generally be removed without leaving excessive residue.
The material has a minimal thickness of just 0.17mm.
Yes, its resistance to heat and moisture makes it suitable for marine applications where radiant heat management is needed, provided it is kept away from direct water immersion if not rated for it.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Use a heat gun on a low setting to slightly warm the adhesive and the application surface before applying pressure. For difficult surfaces, a specialized high-temperature adhesive promoter may be considered.
Handle the material gently, especially when cutting or bending. Ensure your cutting tool is sharp. Avoid excessive stretching, particularly around tight corners.
Apply the material slowly and deliberately, smoothing it down with a clean, soft cloth or a plastic squeegee as you go. If bubbles appear, carefully lift the edge of the material and reapply, smoothing out the air.
Setup: Ensure the surface area is clean, dry, and free from grease or debris before application. Cut the Reflect A Gold material to the desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Peel back the adhesive backing and carefully apply the material to the surface, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go. For complex shapes, slight stretching may help conform the material.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with a wide range of automotive applications, including metal, plastic, and composite surfaces. It is suitable for use around engine compartments, exhaust systems, fuel systems, and interior components where radiant heat management is required. Always ensure adequate clearance from direct heat sources exceeding its temperature rating.
Care: Clean the applied material with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the laminate. Regular inspection for any signs of wear or degradation is recommended, especially in high-vibration environments.
