Product Information

Full details

The Cool-It Thermo Guard FR is designed for motorsport enthusiasts and builders seeking superior heat and sound insulation. Its key benefit is the dual-action of a synthetic flame retardant fiber felt for sound absorption and a high-tech foil barrier that blocks up to 90% of radiant heat. A potential caveat is its 6mm thickness, which may require careful consideration for space-constrained applications.

Troubleshooting

Material will not adhere properly.

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean and dry. Reapply adhesive, ensuring full coverage on both surfaces and sufficient drying time before bonding.

Foil surface is scratched or torn.

Handle the material carefully during installation. Minor abrasions may not significantly impact performance, but tears should be patched if possible with compatible tape or adhesive.

Difficulty cutting the material cleanly.

Use a sharp, high-quality utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Score the material first if needed before making a full cut.

Material delaminates over time.

This can be caused by insufficient adhesive application or extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure proper adhesive use and consider additional mechanical fasteners in high-stress areas if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sound deadening capabilities.
  • Effective radiant heat blocking (up to 90%).
  • Flame retardant properties enhance safety in motorsport.
  • Versatile for sound, heat, and vibration control.
  • Easy to cut and shape for custom installations.

Cons

  • Requires separate adhesive for application.
  • 6mm thickness may limit use in very tight areas.
  • Foil surface can be delicate and may scratch.
  • Not a complete soundproofing solution on its own; best used as part of a system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Measure the desired area and use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors to trim the Cool-It Thermo Guard FR to size. Ensure clean, straight cuts for best adhesion.
  2. Prepare Surface: Clean the target surface thoroughly, ensuring it is free of dirt, grease, and moisture. For optimal results, use a degreaser.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Spray Cool-It's heavy-duty spray adhesive (or a compatible high-temperature adhesive) evenly onto both the material and the mounting surface, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Position and Press: Carefully position the material and apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface to ensure a strong bond. Work from the center outwards to avoid trapping air.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most automotive interior and engine bay surfaces.
  • Ideal for use on metal, plastic, and fiberglass.
  • Ensure adequate clearance, as the 6mm thickness adds to existing material.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the foil surface.
  • Regularly inspect for any signs of damage or peeling, especially in high-vibration areas.
