Adapt-A-Shield XT is a formable, flexible, extreme heat barrier to reflect engine and exhaust heat from components and protect against abrasion. It easily conforms to odd shapes and can be cut with scissors or a utility knife. Fasten it where needed with straps or DEI stainless steel ties for a professional finish.
Key Features
- High Radiant Heat Reflection: Blocks up to 2500°F radiant heat keeping nearby parts cool and extending component life.
- Direct Heat Resistance: Handles continuous exposure to 1100°F without degrading for reliable performance in harsh environments.
- Cut to fit specific areas avoiding direct contact with exhaust pipes.
- Fiberglass reinforced cloth with aluminized silicone coating for maximum reflection and durability.
