Protect Sensitive Components From Damaging Heat
Made from a flexible and lightweight proprietary inorganic core that is naturally flame retardant, acoustically absorptive, and thermally insulative, our Tech Shield™ TS-040 adhesive heat shield offers a noticeable drop in “cold side” or “body side” temperatures, allowing for improved comfort inside cabins and operator environments. Its high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) allows users to quickly and easily apply the product to a wide range of substrates.
*Note: This temperature drop requires the aluminum to be exposed to the radiant heat source.*
Where Can You Use Tech Shield?
Tech Shield is an ideal solution for the following:
- Firewall and underbody applications
- Hose and tubing protection
- Exhaust as an adhesive exhaust heat shield
- Turbo applications
- Fuel tank shielding
- Generators and power generation equipment
At Technicon Acoustics, Tech Shield is a core offering as a car heat shield. However, this high-performance, versatile product has several common applications.
Tech Shield as an Adhesive Exhaust Heat Shield
Exhaust pipes create high temperatures that can impact equipment areas like operator cabs. By installing Tech Shield on panels near exhaust areas, our product will effectively reflect the heat away, insulating them against unfavorable thermal conditions. This helps protect workers from incurring injury from accidental contact with hot areas and increases operator comfort, as well.
Tech Shield as a Generator Enclosure Heat Shield
In power generation, a generator consists of multiple components producing high heat. For example, the temperature within a generator’s turbocharger rises as hot exhaust gases pass through it. As a heat shield for generator enclosures, Tech Shield helps reflect heat back into the enclosure. This helps prevent incidental contact with hot areas of enclosures by an operator or bystander.
Tech Shield for Fuel Tank Shielding
The exhaust system on vehicles gives off high levels of heat during operation. By applying Tech Shield to fuel tanks in locations that experience high heat, the product will then reflect that radiant heat to keep fuel within the tank cool. Tech Shield serves as an additional protection layer for the tank to decrease heat transfer to the fuel. Preventing fuel from overheating helps modes of transportation like cars, trucks, motorcycles, and ATVs get better gas mileage and continue running optimally.
Why Choose Tech Shield?
Tech Shield lends the above applications an array of benefits, such as:
- Maximum thermal protection. Tech Shield will successfully protect heat-sensitive components from temperatures as high as 1000 °F at distances as close as 1 inch.
- Compact design. With an overall thickness of just 0.125 inches, Tech Shield is perfect for installations in locations with space limitations.
- Fire retardancy. The core material of our Tech Shield product is naturally fire retardant.
- Savings on time and money. There are only low tooling costs associated with Tech Shield, and the product comes with a short lead time for its production.
- Installation flexibility. Tech Shield’s high-temperature PSA with an EZ Peel liner allows you to easily and rapidly install the product on an array of material surfaces.
