DEI Form-A-Shield Heat Barrier Sheet
Fits Most Models
10517
Overview:
The DEI Form-A-Shield Heat Barrier Sheet is a versatile thermal protection solution designed to withstand extreme temperatures up to 1400°F. Ideal for automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike, this heat shield can be applied directly to exhaust headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes to significantly reduce radiant exhaust heat. By lowering under-hood temperatures, it helps protect sensitive components and improves overall engine bay conditions.
Its pliable construction allows it to conform to a wide variety of shapes and configurations, making it suitable for most vehicle models. Whether you’re looking to enhance performance, reliability, or simply maintain cooler engine compartments, Form-A-Shield offers a durable and effective heat management option.
Key Features:
Form-A-Shield combines advanced materials and thoughtful design to deliver superior heat insulation near exhaust components. Key features include:
- Withstands direct heat exposure up to 1400°F and beyond, providing robust thermal protection.
- Constructed from 10 mil dimpled aluminum bonded to a high-temperature rated basalt thermal barrier material for excellent heat reflection and insulation.
- Extremely pliable design allows easy shaping and fitting to complex exhaust geometries including headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes.
- Durable and resistant to oil, chemical spills, and environmental wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Can be applied directly to hot surfaces without adhesive backing, reducing installation complexity and increasing versatility.
- Fastening options include straps, clamps, or DEI Locking Ties for secure attachment in various applications.
- Helps lower under-hood temperatures by retaining heat within the exhaust system, improving efficiency and protecting nearby components.
- Can be combined with DEI Adhesive Spray on cooler surfaces to serve as a heat barrier or reflector where direct heat resistance is not required.
Construction & Design:
The Form-A-Shield sheet features a layered construction that maximizes heat resistance and durability. The outer layer is a 10 mil thick dimpled aluminum sheet that reflects radiant heat effectively. This is bonded to a basalt-based thermal barrier material known for its high temperature tolerance and insulating properties. This combination ensures that heat is kept within exhaust components, reducing heat soak into the engine bay.
Its flexible and pliable nature allows it to conform to irregular shapes and tight spaces, making it adaptable to a wide range of exhaust configurations. The absence of adhesive backing means it can be repositioned or removed without residue, and it can be secured using mechanical fasteners for a reliable fit.
Installation & Fitment:
Designed to fit most vehicle models, the DEI Form-A-Shield Heat Barrier Sheet offers straightforward installation. It can be wrapped or applied directly to exhaust components such as headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes. Because it does not have an adhesive backing, it is fastened using straps, clamps, or DEI Locking Ties, allowing for secure and customizable mounting.
No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required to use Form-A-Shield, making it an accessible upgrade for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. For applications on non-hot surfaces, DEI Adhesive Spray can be used to attach the sheet as a heat reflector or barrier.
