We have released a new Technical Overview PDF for our Thermal Shield Adhesive Backed Gold Heat Reflective Sheet to support faster specification and more reliable field performance in under-hood and high heat-flux applications.

This adhesive-backed gold reflective sheet is commonly selected for radiant heat management on firewalls, bulkheads, and under-hood panels where space is limited and installation time matters. The reflective gold face is intended to reduce radiant heat soak on adjacent panels and components, while the fiberglass reinforcement improves durability and dimensional stability across temperature swings.

What the Technical Overview covers

The new PDF is written for engineers, fabricators, and technical buyers. It consolidates the key information required for evaluation and release-to-build decisions, including:

• Construction overview (metallized gold reflective film laminated to fiberglass cloth with high-temperature PSA backing)

• Radiant heat reflection and temperature guidance (including bond-line temperature considerations)

• Installation best practices for stable adhesion performance

• Failure modes and risk control (edge lift, debonding under heat, contamination, blistering, and abrasion)

• Part number size options and an RFQ checklist to speed up quoting and selection

Why bond-line temperature matters for adhesive-backed shields

In adhesive-backed thermal barriers, the limiting factor is often not the radiant exposure itself, but the temperature at the mounting surface under the sheet. Clearance, airflow, and panel thermal behavior can raise bond-line temperatures beyond the adhesive rating. The Technical Overview explains practical controls—such as corner radiusing, application pressure, edge management, and mechanical retention options—so installers can reduce lift initiation and improve long-term durability.

For technical questions or quoting support, please include your application location, heat source type, clearance, peak temperature duty cycle, substrate type, and required sheet size. This will allow us to recommend a stable configuration for your thermal zone.
