It's intended for use where radiant heat could harm painted surfaces, plastics, wiring, hoses, or interior panels. The material is engineered to reflect intense radiant temperatures while the adhesive layer handles continuous direct contact heat up to its rating, enabling neat, permanent installations on flat or curved surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this barrier reduce heat exposure to nearby parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminized face reflects a large portion of radiant energy away from the protected component, reducing heat transfer by radiation rather than relying exclusively on insulation thickness. The woven silica core adds structural stability and some thermal resistance, while the adhesive-backed design keeps the barrier in continuous contact with the protected surface for effective heat control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflective surface withstands radiant temperatures up to 2000°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdhesive backing manages direct and continuous contact temperatures up to 300°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWoven silica core resists fraying and maintains shape on curves and edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThin profile makes it suitable where space is limited behind panels or hoses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I apply the Thermo-Tec 13575 sheet in a vehicle or workshop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet is versatile for multiple hot-zone applications: firewall patches, underside of hoods, routing shields for hoses and wiring, door cavities exposed to exhaust heat, and localized spot protection for painted surfaces at risk from radiant exposure.

However, the adhesive backing has a lower continuous temperature rating; for direct contact with very high exhaust temperatures, use the barrier as a reflective shield with an air gap or select mechanical fasteners to avoid overstressing the adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflective side tolerates radiant temperatures up to 2000°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdhesive-backed side is rated continuous up to 300°F; avoid prolonged direct contact above this.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest practice: combine with an air gap or mechanical attachment near extreme heat sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse on secondary surfaces, trim areas, and hose wraps where adhesive limits are respected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Thermo-Tec 13575 suits automotive restorers, performance builders, fabricators, and DIYers who need a compact, reflective heat shield that installs quickly and presents a clean appearance. It's ideal when space is tight and a thin, adhesive-backed barrier will protect paint, plastics, wiring, and hoses from damaging radiant heat. If your project involves continuous direct contact with extremely high temperatures, consider using the sheet as a reflective layer with an air gap or mechanical mounting to preserve adhesive performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can the adhesive backing handle engine bay temperatures?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The adhesive resists continuous contact up to 300°F; use with an air gap or mechanical fasteners near higher-temperature exhaust components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I wrap this around hoses or wires?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—its flexible woven silica allows wrapping for neat hose and wire protection when surfaces are clean before application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Thermo-Tec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67591820542137,"sku":"B00029KC2K","price":67.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/thermo-tec-13575-front-view.jpg?v=1790558818","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/thermo-tec-adhesive-backed-aluminized-heat-barrier-12-in-x-24-in-reflective-to-2000-f-thin-peel-and-stick","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
