Product Details
HP Heatshield Mat by Heatshield®. Keep your cool with our Heatshield Products Heatshield Mat. When used in applications with 1-inch of airspace and good airflow, this Heatshield cloth is capable of reflecting 90 percent of radiant heat. Face the aluminized side toward the source of radiant heat to shield heat away. This product withstands 1,100 degrees F of radiant heat (requires minimum of 1" of airspace) and up to 450 degrees F of direct heat, perfect for using underneath your floorpan to shield heat from your DPF, muffler, catalytic converter and exhaust system, or it can be used on the firewall to shield engine heat. It can also be used as a cold-air intake heatshield. Put it on your metal or plastic airbox to stop heat from raising air intake temperatures. The Heatshield Mat is available with a high-temperature peel-and-stick adhesive. The self-adhesive version is not recommended for rough, unfinished fiberglass or carbon fiber. Bulk heatshield cloth rolls are available. Keep your cool with Heatshield Products Heatshield Mat.

Heatshield barriers are designed to shield radiant heat. Heat shield material can significantly reduce the amount of heat from entering a vehicle interior and can protect body panels form engine and exhaust heat. You can also use a heatshield barrier to improve the performance of other components.
In order to function properly, most heat shields should be placed on the hot side of a panel, facing the heat source. Heat shield barriers can reflect over 90-percent of heat. While the percentage requires a greater than 1-inch air gap and good air flow, it is attainable. They do offer heat shield barriers that can shield heat with less than a 1-inch air gap. Heat reflectivity and reduction can change significantly with environmental conditions. For example, you can reduce over 90 percent of radiant heat with a shield, but change the environmental conditions (such as distance to the heat source or increased airflow) and that same product will now reduce only 50 percent of the heat. The facts are that the more airflow and air space (distance) between the heat barrier and heat source, the greater the improvement to the product’s performance.
Got hot feet? Stick a heat shield on the firewall, transmission tunnel, above the catalytic converter and muffler to keep you cool. Heat shield insulation may also be used for performance gains. Shielding an air filter box with a heat shield can reduce intake temperatures. This can create more horsepower and improve fuel mileage.
Contrary to popular belief, sound barriers are not good heat shield insulators. The most effective way to stop heat, is to stick or add a heat shield on the hot side of the body panel. This means, not placing it under your carpet, but on the underside of the vehicle itself or on the engine side of a firewall. There is one exception, the Stealth Shield. The Stealth Shield is the only product engineered to reduce heat on the inside. Lightweight and only 1/8-inch thick makes it the perfect solution to use in a headliner or sewn into a convertible top to stop heat.
