Our Cold-Gold Tape was designed to shield radiant heat while featuring the kind of show-quality material seen on cars in prestigious competitions, such as the Detroit Autorama Ridler award!
Most thermal-barrier products marketed as "gold" utilize "birthday balloon technology" to deflect heat.
While Mylar can appear impressive, it is the same material used in birthday balloons.
It can reflect heat away, but aluminum foil can do so at a lower cost.
Our proprietary TruGold thermal-barrier material is used to make Cold-Gold Tape.
Cold-Gold Tape consists of a true gold color reflective layer combined with high-grade lightweight fiberglass cloth.
The full fiberglass backing (not scrim) protects components during those critical seconds between the start of a fire event and full-flame catastrophe.
The backing acts as a fire barrier even after the gold coating burns off, giving Cold-Gold Tape an advantage over many balloon-based barriers.
Cold-Gold Tape does not degrade after long-term heat exposure.
It withstands constant ambient temperatures of up to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, intermittent ambient temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and direct-contact heat of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cold-Gold Tape can shield over 90 percent of radiant heat with a 1-inch space from the heat source.
All rolls are 0.008" thick.
