Technicon Acoustics is an industry-leading manufacturer of top-quality thermal and acoustic products for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our Tech Shield™ high-performance radiant heat shields are made with an innovative core material that is light, flexible, and inorganic. This proprietary material provides thermal insulation, acoustic absorption, and natural flame retardancy.
Tech Shield TS-040 adhesive heat shield noticeably reduces body side or cold side temperatures, which improves operator environments and comfort inside cabins. It is specifically engineered for seamless integration with equipment and product designs. Optional pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) makes it fast and easy to install, and it adheres securely to many different materials.

*Note: This temperature drop requires the aluminum to be exposed to the radiant heat source.*
Engineered for Seamless Equipment Integration
Tech Shield is suitable for many types of equipment, offering excellent long-term performance in demanding environments. This product was developed with manufacturers in mind and has the following benefits:
Adaptable and Flexible Design
The flexible, lightweight inorganic core material can be adapted to your equipment and requirements, even when complicated or unique geometries are involved.
Adhesive vs. Non-adhesive options
Tech Shield is available with a high-performance PSA for quick and easy application. It is also available in a non-adhesive format for use with alternate mounting methods.
Durability in harsh environments
This material is naturally flame-retardant and can withstand challenging industrial environments and high temperatures. It also has superior heat insulating properties.
Space-saving Profile
Tech Shield is 0.125 in. thick for use in limited-space installations.
Technicon Acoustics, can also tailor materials and products to your specifications for performance, thickness, weight, and size. Our capabilities include custom manufacturing, die cutting and CNC knife and waterjet cutting for creating top-quality, reliable products that meet manufacturer requirements.

Where Can You Use Tech Shield? (Key Applications)
Thanks to its streamlined design and optional PSA backing, Tech Shield can be used in a variety of products and applications in the vehicle, power generation, industrial equipment, and other industries.
Automotive and Commercial Vehicles
- Engine compartments: Protects delicate components and instrumentation from heat generated by turbo and exhaust systems.
- Firewall and underbody: Improves operator safety and comfort in firewall and underbody applications.
- Fuel tank shielding: Reflects the radiant heat away from the fuel tank for better efficiency, safety, and tank cooling in cars, ATVs, motorcycles, and heavy truck and specialty vehicles.
Power Generation Equipment
Integrated thermal barriers are critical in power generation applications, particularly for generator enclosures. Tech Shield effectively protects sensitive components, such as turbochargers, from high exhaust gas temperatures, and stays securely in place for long term reliability.
Industrial Machinery and Equipment
General equipment shielding: Protects machinery from radiated heat.
Hose and tubing protection: Shields tubing and hoses from damage caused by radiant heat.
