Lava Shield Mat is a very rugged heat reflector shield! Due to basalt’s (mineral from volcanic rock) natural chemical and acid resistant properties, Lava Shield is excellent for use in harsh environments, like engine rooms, or to shield heat from flare stacks This heat shield barrier cloth, can be used with less than 1” of airspace, 3/8” minimum is recommended. It is also better to use Lava Shield when there are instances of little air flow, making it a superior insulator to aluminum and gold barriers fabrics in these occurrences. Bulk rolls of basalt heat shield cloth are available. This heat barrier material withstands 1200°F direct continuous and 2000°F intermittent.
Q. Why don't you recommend using Lava Shield on rough, unfinished fiberglass or carbon?
A. Self adhesive backings cannot fill in the surface irregularities that occur on unfinished glass or carbon. For these applications, it is better to use a spray on adhesive.
