Design Engineering Reflect-A-Gold High-Temp Reflective Tape 2" x 15' — 850°F Heat Shield, UV-Resistant

Engineered by Design Engineering, this metalized polyamide polymer laminated to glass cloth forms a lightweight, flexible heat barrier with a high-temperature adhesive backing. The roll format (2" x 15') makes it simple to apply in tight engine bays, on bulkheads, or around fuel cells. It reflects radiant heat, resists UV exposure, and is built for demanding automotive, motorsports, marine, and industrial environments where sustained high temperatures threaten components and finishes.

How does Reflect-A-Gold protect parts exposed to extreme heat?

The product reflects radiant energy away from vulnerable surfaces and creates a thermal break between a heat source and the protected substrate. Its metalized surface combined with glass cloth minimizes heat transfer while the high-temperature adhesive keeps the barrier in place during operation.

• Reflective metalized face reduces radiant heat transfer.
• Glass cloth core increases mechanical strength and tear resistance.
• Rated for continuous exposure up to 850°F, suitable near exhausts and turbochargers.
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive maintains bond on metal, plastic, and composites.

Where and how should I apply this high-temp adhesive tape?

Apply Reflect-A-Gold to clean, dry surfaces in areas that require radiant heat control—common uses include firewalls, under-hood panels, engine covers, fuel cell surrounds, and floor pans. The release liner protects the adhesive during handling and can be removed as you position the tape for a precise fit.

• Peel release liner rated up to 325°F for safe installation handling.
• Stick directly to metal, painted surfaces, composites, and some plastics.
• Overlap edges for continuous coverage and use additional fasteners if needed for vibration-prone areas.
• Trim with scissors or a utility knife for custom shapes and contours.

How durable is the tape in outdoor and harsh environments?

Reflect-A-Gold is formulated for long-term performance; the metalized surface resists UV degradation while the glass-cloth laminate offers abrasion resistance and dimensional stability. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is rated for elevated temperatures and maintains adhesion under thermal cycling common to motorsports and marine use.

• UV-resistant face helps preserve reflectivity and appearance outdoors.
• Adhesive formulated for sustained high-temperature adhesion and thermal cycling.
• Glass cloth resists fraying and puncture in rough service conditions.
• Lightweight and flexible to conform to curved or irregular surfaces.

Can the tape be removed or repositioned after installation?

The pressure-sensitive adhesive is designed to provide a secure, lasting bond; however, it is possible to remove the tape when maintenance or access is required. Removal may require heat or adhesive solvent for long-term installations, and some adhesive residue can be expected on certain substrates.

• Easy initial placement before full bond develops—press firmly for permanent application.
• Use heat or adhesive remover to aid in peel-off from painted or sensitive surfaces.
• Test on an inconspicuous area if paint or finish is a concern.
• Replacement with fresh tape recommended after removal for continued protection.

Who is this for? Reflect-A-Gold is aimed at technicians, fabricators, race teams, marine installers, and industrial maintenance crews who need a lightweight, high-temperature reflective barrier that adheres directly to components. If you need durable radiant-heat protection in confined spaces or a conformable solution for curved surfaces and hard-to-reach areas, this 2" x 15' roll delivers professional-grade performance without heavy bulk. Made in the USA and supplied as rolls or sheets, it fits retrofit and new-build applications where thermal control is a priority.
