DEI Form-A-Shield Exhaust Heat Barrier 10 Mil Aluminum Basalt Thermal Shield

DEI Form-A-Shield Exhaust Heat Barrier — 10 Mil Aluminum with Basalt Thermal Shield DEI Form-A-Shield is a direct-contact, high-performance exhaust heat barrier engineered to protect components and reduce under-hood temperatures. Built from dimpled 10 mil aluminum bonded to a high-temp basalt thermal layer, this shield withstands direct heat up to 1400°F+ while reflecting and containing radiant exhaust heat. Key Features Extreme heat resistance: Rated for direct heat exposure to 1400°F+. Durable construction: 10 mil dimpled aluminum bonded to basalt thermal material for lasting protection. Direct-apply capability: Can be installed directly on exhaust headers, manifolds, turbo housings, and downpipes. Flexible & formable: Extremely pliable to conform to complex shapes and tight spaces. Chemical resistant: Durable against oil and chemical spills. Multiple fastening options: Secure with straps, clamps, or DEI Locking Ties (no adhesive backing). Benefits Significantly lowers radiant exhaust temperatures to protect wiring, hoses, and nearby components. Keeps more heat inside the exhaust system for improved turbo efficiency and reduced under-hood heat soak. Ideal for race, street, and performance applications where direct heat protection is required. Installation tip: Use DEI Adhesive Spray with Form-A-Shield on non-hot areas when an adhesive is desired — not required for high-temperature surfaces.
