The DEI Form-A-Shield(TM) provides an effective solution for managing extreme heat in automotive applications, capable of withstanding direct temperatures over 1400°F. Designed for use on exhaust headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes, this heat barrier dramatically reduces radiant exhaust temperatures to improve under hood safety and performance. Constructed from 10 mil dimpled aluminum bonded to a high-temperature basalt thermal barrier, Form-A-Shield is highly pliable and adaptable, allowing easy shaping to fit many complex configurations.
Its durable design resists oil and chemical spills, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding automotive environments. The material's ability to withstand high heat makes it an excellent insulator for areas near exhaust pipes, helping to keep engine bays cooler and protecting sensitive components. The shield measures 21 inches by 48 inches and can be fastened using straps, clamps, or DEI Locking Ties, with no adhesive backing required for installation.
For non-hot areas, DEI recommends using their Adhesive Spray to enhance heat reflection and barrier properties. This versatile product can be applied directly to hot surfaces, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional insulating layers. Whether used as a firewall, on transmission tunnels, or around exhaust components, the Form-A-Shield offers a reliable, high-performance thermal barrier that meets the rigorous demands of automotive heat management.
Designed for universal application, this shield is an essential accessory for those looking to improve vehicle safety, performance, and thermal efficiency. Its resistance to chemicals and ability to conform to various shapes make it a trusted choice for professional installers and automotive enthusiasts alike.
