SOLUTIONS: heat protection

Tight under bonnet conditions in modern automotive applications combined with high temperatures emitted from turbo’s, catalytic converters and exhaust systems makes the routing of essential fuel, hydraulic and air conditioning hoses as well as a whole range of control cables and electronic harnesses a particular problem for engineers.

Our range of heat reflective tubes and materials offer thermally efficient ways of protecting hoses, cables and components against the effects of radiant heat and heat soak whilst remaining flexible, lightweight and easy to fit.

Benefits:

• Materials we specialise in to reflect radiant heat include combinations of aluminium, stainless steel & woven glass fibre.
• We have test facilities to offer the customer the benefit of lab testing to give an indication of the performance of our materials before they are tested in the application.
• Our heat protection tubes are available off the shelf and a range of diameters to suit the application. Cut lengths are available on request.

Typical application areas:

• Coolant tubes
• Aircon pipes
• PAS tubes, fuel pipes
• Manual & automatic gear shift cables
• Speedometer cables
• Bowden cables
• Electric cables
• Wiring harnesses
