SheetHot™ TF-400 is an ideal heatshield for underbody components where easy manipulation and material forming is required. TF-400 heat protection gives you a good compromise between durability and flexibility. This radiant heat shield is good for curved underbodies or body panels where you want to reflect damaging heat away. SheetHot™ TF-400 is composed of 4 layers of dimpled aluminum which is rated for direct heat up to 1100° Fahrenheit (600° Celsius).
Installation - If you need to cut a shield into a custom shape for your application it is simple
- Utilize a cardboard template to determine the shape, size and form of your desired shield
- Add an extra 3/8" (about 10mm) around all cut edges on the template (this excess material will be folded over the cut edge to prevent layer separation and protect from sharp edges)
- Trace the cardboard template onto the heat shield
- Cut out with sharp scissors or a pair of tin snips
- Fold the extra material at the cut edges
- Mold your shield into the custom shape you may need
- If possible leave a 3/8" to 3/4" (10mm to 20mm) air gap between the shield and component being shielded
- Fasten with some type of mechanical fastener (screws, bolts, pop rivets, stainless steel clamps, stainless steel cable ties, custom brackets, etc.)
