Insulators-
Most insulators are comprised of fiberglass, which is
good for 1000°F of continuous direct heat. Fiberglass
wraps can have special coatings applied to them such as "Vermiculite",
which allows the glass to take 1200°F of continuous direct
contact. The 2000°F bench mark is the maximum temperature
glass products can withstand for less than 3 seconds; anything
beyond that temperature or period of time will cook glass
products. Other popular types of insulator materials are made
from silica or ceramic. These materials are more expensive
than fiberglass, but can tolerate a higher degree of heat.
Silica is good for 1800°F continuous, and ceramic materials
are capable of going up to 2300°F continuous.
Heat
Shields & Thermal Barriers-The most widely used heat
shields and thermal barriers are comprised mostly of aluminum,
but also can include other forms of metal or alloys such as
stainless steel (1800°F continuous) and inconell (2200°F
continuous). Aluminum materials melt at 1227°F and are
designed to be used as shields, not insulators. Moreover,
aluminum reflects radiant heat away, often exceeding more
than 90% efficiency with 1000°F of continuous radiant
heat (radiant heat means it is placed with at least a minimum
1" air gap from heat source). Otherwise, they can withstand
up to 500°F of a direct heat source. Cloth, tapes, and
other aluminum heat shields all fall within the above mentioned
parameters.
First
things first, do your homework. Check your temperature ratings
for you application(s). If you have access to a temperature
gun use it. Shoot the areas you need protected and measure
the temperatures. By doing this you will get the solution
to your problem. For example, you would not buy a pair of
cylinder heads or an intake manifold without finding the correct
application. Do not do the same thing with thermal insulation.
We at Heatshield do not want you to waste your money buying
the wrong product. Therefore we will do everything within
our power to help you get the right product, at the right
price, with the best service.
