LAVA HEAT SHIELD CLOTH LIGHT WEIGHT SMOOTH FINISH REFLECTS RADIANT HEAT

Made from crushed volcanic rock, Heatshield Products Lava Shield Mat has heatshielding capabilities with a carbon-fiber look. This insulator helps to reflect and dissipate heat, making it perfect to be an airbox heatshield or heatshield barrier to protect the paint on your carbon-fiber/fiberglass hood. Due to the natural chemical and acid-resistant properties of basalt (a mineral from volcanic rock), Lava Heat Shield is excellent to use in harsh environments. Lava Shield may be used on a firewall to shield radiant heat, and is also perfect to shield heat in transmission tunnels. Keep the look of carbon fiber but have the functionality of the Lava Shield heat barrier. It can be used with less than 1 inch of airspace, but 1/2 inch minimum is recommended. It is also better to use Lava Shield on applications where there is little airflow, making it a superior insulator to aluminum and gold barrier fabrics in these conditions. Lava Shield withstands 1,200°F direct continuous temperatures and 2,000°F intermittent.
