    Demonstrating the Heat Resistant Power of the HP Torch Blanket

    The HP Torch Blanket was designed to protect components from the heat and sparks generated by welding, cutting, or grinding on metal.

Just a few sparks or seconds of extreme heat can cause serious and expensive damage to components or surface finishes. HP Torch Blanket keeps that from happening. But it has a lot of other uses that don’t involve welding spark protection

    Lava Turbo Shield And Exhaust Wrap Install With Before/After Comparison

    An unshielded/uninsulated turbo and its supporting systems represent horsepower being left on the table, and an exhaust wrap install can easily help you fix this. In addition to its wasted potential, an uninsulated turbo system will also have negative effects on reliability as the constant high underhood temperatures accelerate wear on underhood components.

    The real head scratcher with seeing an uninsulated turbocharger setup is how easy it is to insulate the system, keep more heat in it and enjoy the benefits it provides. From cost to installation, there are no insurmountable or even remotely difficult obstacles standing in the way of placing a turbo

    Introducing New Utili-Shield Thermal Barrier Protection for Wiring and Fluid Junctions

     

    For straight sections of wiring harnesses or fluid lines, standard design thermal barrier sleeves work great for protecting those vital components from heat exposure and possible abrasion damage. But when it comes to shielding fluid couplings and wiring junctions from heat, a straight piece of sleeve material requires modification to fit over these junctions. Besides lengthening the installation process, these modifications can also compromise the efficiency of the thermal barrier sleeve to protect the components. This was the genesis that fueled us to come up with Utili-ShieldsTM, T-shaped and 90-degree shaped sections of thermal barrier material designed specifically to protection important wiring junctions and fluid couplings.
