Heat Shield Tape for Radiant Heat Protection in Automotive Applications

At Textile Technologies Europe Ltd, we supply a range of high-performance heat shield tapes engineered to reflect radiant heat and protect sensitive components in high-temperature applications.

These heat reflective tapes are designed for use across automotive, motorsport, aerospace, industrial machinery, power generation, and manufacturing sectors.

By combining reflective foils such as aluminium and gold foil (Gold coloured aluminised PET) with high-strength glass fibre textile backings and self-adhesive layers, our heat shield tapes offer fast, effective protection against heat damage to wiring looms, hoses, ducting, and air intake systems.

Ideal for both OEM and retrofit use, these tapes help improve thermal efficiency, reduce intake temperatures, and extend component life in harsh environments.

Our Range of Heat Reflective Tapes Includes:

• Aluminium Foil Heat Shield Tape
• Gold Foil Heat Shield Tape
• Shieldtex™ Heat Shield Tape
• Magmashield™ Tape
• Goldshield Tape

Available in a variety of widths, roll lengths, and foil finishes. Custom slitting and pre-cut options available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is heat shield tape used for?

Heat shield tape is used to reflect radiant heat away from vulnerable components like intake pipes, wiring looms, fuel lines, and ducts. It’s especially common in engine bays, exhaust areas, and motorsport applications where high thermal loads are present.

Do these tapes come with adhesive backing?

Yes. Many of our heat shield tapes feature high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), allowing for easy peel-and-stick installation. Non-adhesive options are also available for custom fabrication or sewing.

What temperature can these tapes withstand?

Reflective heat shield tapes can typically withstand continuous radiant temperatures of 250°C–600°C, with higher resistance for short-term exposure depending on the product type and application surface.

Are these tapes suitable for air intake systems?

Absolutely. Many customers use these products to wrap or shield air intake systems, helping to maintain cooler airflow and improve engine efficiency under load. Products like Gold Shield Tape and Shieldtex are excellent for this purpose.
