Mishimoto Aluminum Silica Heat Barrier

Universal Fitment – Fits Most Models

MMHP-ASHB-1224

Overview:

The Mishimoto Aluminum Silica Heat Barrier is engineered to protect critical engine components from excessive heat exposure. Designed for universal fitment, this versatile heat shield is ideal for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike who want to safeguard sensitive parts in tight or hard-to-reach areas of the engine bay. By effectively blocking radiant and direct heat, it helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and prolongs the lifespan of hoses, wiring, sensors, and other vital components.

Whether you’re upgrading your vehicle’s performance or simply aiming to improve reliability, this heat barrier offers a practical solution that adapts to your specific installation needs. Its durable construction and user-friendly design make it a valuable addition to any engine bay heat management strategy.

Key Features:

This heat barrier combines advanced materials and thoughtful design to deliver superior thermal protection and ease of use:

• Constructed from woven silica fabric combined with reflective aluminum mylar for outstanding heat resistance.
• Protects against radiant heat up to 2000°F and withstands direct heat exposure up to 1200°F.
• Adhesive backing allows for secure mounting on uneven, curved, or confined surfaces without additional hardware.
• Flexible and easily trimmed to fit custom installation areas, ensuring a precise fit in tight engine bay spaces.
• Lightweight yet durable construction resists wear and degradation under high-temperature conditions.
• Universal sizing of 12 x 24 inches accommodates a wide range of applications and vehicle models.
• Helps prevent heat soak and protects heat-sensitive components such as wiring harnesses, fuel lines, and sensors.

Construction & Design:

The Mishimoto Aluminum Silica Heat Barrier features a layered design combining woven silica fibers with a reflective aluminum mylar surface. This combination effectively reflects radiant heat away from protected components while providing a robust barrier against direct heat sources. The woven silica fabric offers excellent thermal insulation properties and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding engine bay environments.

The integrated adhesive backing simplifies installation by allowing the barrier to be mounted securely without the need for drilling or additional fasteners. This design choice also enables the barrier to conform to complex shapes and tight spaces, making it ideal for protecting components in hard-to-reach areas.

Installation & Fitment:

The Mishimoto Aluminum Silica Heat Barrier is designed for universal fitment and can be trimmed to suit your specific application. Its adhesive backing allows for straightforward installation on a variety of surfaces, including curved or uneven areas within the engine bay.

• No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required beyond trimming the barrier to size.
• Simply clean the mounting surface, peel the adhesive backing, and press the barrier firmly into place.
• Ideal for use in tight spaces where traditional heat shields may not fit.

What’s Included

• One 12 x 24 inch Aluminum Silica Heat Barrier with adhesive backing
