MATERIALS: Composed of 3 layers: Fiberglass, Aluminum Foil, and Closed Cell Foam. Combining these three materials allows SoundSkins Heat Shield to offer a comprehensive solution for automotive heat and sound management. The fiberglass adds strength, the aluminum foil reflects heat, and the thick layer of closed cell foam provides excellent thermal barrier and sound absorption qualities.
HEAT PROTECTION: The primary purpose of heat shielding insulation is to protect sensitive automotive components from excessive heat generated by the engine and exhaust system. By preventing the transfer of heat to surrounding areas, it helps maintain optimal temperatures for various parts, reducing the risk of overheating and potential damage.
NOISE REDUCTION: In addition to its thermal properties, some heat shielding materials also offer sound absorption qualities. This can help reduce engine and exhaust noise, leading to a quieter and more enjoyable driving experience.
PASSENGER COMFORT: Heat shielding insulation helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature by preventing excessive heat from entering the interior. This is especially important in hot climates or during long drives, making the ride more pleasant for passengers.
PROTECTION OF WIRING AND ELECTRONICS: Modern vehicles rely heavily on electrical systems and delicate electronic components. Heat shielding insulation safeguards these sensitive parts from excessive heat exposure, preventing potential malfunctions and electrical failures.
SAFETY & FIRE PREVENTION: Heat shielding insulation can act as a barrier that helps contain heat in the engine compartment and exhaust system, reducing the risk of fires caused by contact with flammable materials or fuel leaks.
CUSTOMIZATION & WEIGHT REDUCTION: Our heat shielding materials are lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy customization and installation in various vehicle models. Additionally, using lightweight materials can help reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, contributing to improved fuel efficiency.
ENHANCED FUEL EFFICIENCY: By reducing heat radiation and conduction from the engine, heat shielding insulation can help keep the engine bay cooler. Cooler temperatures result in less energy loss due to heat, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE: Lowering the ambient temperature around critical components, such as the intake manifold, fuel lines, and brake system, can improve their overall performance. Cooler air intake, for instance, can enhance engine efficiency and power output.
EXTENDED COMPONENT LIFESPAN: Excessive heat can accelerate wear and tear on automotive components, leading to premature failure. By insulating critical parts, heat shielding can extend the lifespan of components, reducing maintenance costs over time.
