Each sheet is 300 x 1000mm and 9mm thick. You wrap it around headers, downpipes and turbo housings, then cover it with an outer skin such as Car Builders Inconel 625 sheet to build a lightweight custom heat shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy fit a ceramic blanket under an outer skin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat soak in the engine bay.\u003c\/strong\u003e The blanket has low thermal conductivity, so it keeps exhaust heat inside the pipe instead of cooking the parts around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdd shapes that a flat shield will not follow.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is soft and pliable, and cuts with scissors or a knife to fit around bends, flanges and turbo housings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation that breaks down when it gets hot.\u003c\/strong\u003e Car Builders rate it to withstand thermal shock and keep its strength, with no binders or fillers in the blanket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItchy fibreglass.\u003c\/strong\u003e Car Builders state it contains no fibreglass or silica.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blanket is the insulating layer of a heat wrap system. It slows heat moving out of the exhaust or turbo. On its own it is soft, so Car Builders match it with their Inconel 625 sheet as a hard outer skin that holds the blanket in place and protects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 ceramic fibre insulation sheet, 300 x 1000mm, 9mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much do I need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the length of pipe you want to cover and its distance around.
