Product Information

Full details

The Design Engineering Reflect A Gold Sheet is for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers looking to manage radiant heat effectively. Its key benefit is reflecting up to 80% of radiant heat with a lightweight, flexible material, offering significant weight savings. A potential caveat is the need for proper surface preparation for optimal adhesive performance. This product is a state-of-the-art, polymer-laminated glass cloth designed for high-temperature applications, featuring a self-adhesive backing for easy installation and a minimal thickness of 0.17mm.

FAQs

What is the maximum continuous operating temperature?

Design Engineering Reflect A Gold can handle continuous operating temperatures of up to 450° C (842° F).

How much radiant heat does it reflect?

It reflects up to 80 percent of all radiant heat.

Is it difficult to install?

No, it features a high-temperature self-adhesive backing and is flexible, making installation straightforward on most surfaces.

What are the dimensions of this specific sheet?

This product is a 12 x 24 inch sheet.

Can I use this material directly in a flame?

Reflect A Gold is designed to reflect radiant heat, not to withstand direct flame impingement. It is not a fireproof barrier in that sense.

How thick is the material?

The material has a minimal thickness of just 0.17mm.

Can I remove and reapply the material?

While it has a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is designed for ease of application, repeated removal and reapplication may compromise the adhesive's effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking well

Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and completely dry before application. Re-apply pressure to the material after installation.

Material wrinkles during application

Cut the material into smaller, manageable pieces for complex curves. Apply slowly, smoothing out air pockets as you go. A heat gun on a low setting can sometimes aid in conforming the material, but use with caution to avoid overheating.

Reduced heat reflection performance

Verify that the gold (laminated glass cloth) side is facing the heat source. Ensure the material is properly adhered and there are no significant gaps or tears.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent radiant heat reflection capabilities.
  • Withstands very high continuous operating temperatures.
  • Significantly lighter than alternative heat shielding materials.
  • Easy to install due to flexible nature and adhesive backing.
  • Thin profile does not add bulk.

Cons

  • Adhesive performance may vary on uneven or dirty surfaces.
  • May require careful application to avoid wrinkles on complex shapes.
  • Not suitable for direct flame impingement, focuses on radiant heat.
  • Requires sufficient surface area for effective adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface area is clean, dry, and free from grease or oil for optimal adhesion. Cut the Reflect A Gold sheet to the desired shape using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Peel off the adhesive backing and carefully apply the sheet, pressing firmly to ensure good contact. Smooth out any air bubbles as you apply.

Compatibility: This material is compatible with most automotive surfaces, including metal, plastic, and composites, provided they are clean. It is designed for use in high-temperature environments typical of engine bays and exhaust systems.

Care: Due to its nature as a heat-reflective barrier, it does not require active care. However, if it becomes soiled, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the polymer laminate.
