THE
HEAT
What it is:
Thermal-bar-
rier solution.
Why you care: When sensitive
automotive components get too
hot, they can become damaged,
and that’s why the heat-control
experts at Thermo-Tec created their
adhesive-backed heat-barrier prod-
uct. Just peel and stick the adhesive
to any surface, creating a thermal
shield for sensitive components,
plastic parts, and vulnerable painted
surfaces. Radiant heat doesn’t
stand a chance against the barrier’s
woven-silica construction and flexi-
ble aluminized finish. The highly
reflective surface is capable of with-
standing radiant temperatures up
to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while
the adhesive can withstand tem-
peratures up to 300 degrees. It’s
available in a variety of sizes that
can be cut to fit any space and can
be used to prevent damage on any
vulnerable surface or wrapped
around hoses and wires for a clean,
professional appearance.
How much: Starting at $14.
