The Benefits
- Highly Effective Thermal Barrier – The ceramic pattern on ZircoFlex® creates excellent proven thermal barriers. Using the standard BSI heat shield test, ZircoFlex® GOLD is comparable to standard ZircoFlex® I, reducing temperatures by ∼64%. This ensures minimal heat transfer and high levels of protection of the underlying component.
- Highly Reflective to Radiant Heat – ZircoFlex® GOLD is highly reflective of infra-red radiation with results better than 98% reflectivity recorded at >600nm. Provides excellent thermal protection from radiant heat.
- Ultra Lightweight – ZircoFlex® GOLD weighs ∼560g/m² therefore adding minimal weight, with virtually no effect on the cars weight balance.
- Thin and Flexible – ZircoFlex® GOLD is 0.35mm thick and is easily bent and folded to shape.
- Attractive Finish – A bright gold finish that is highly visible within the engine compartment, allowing ease of inspection.
- Easy to Shape – Can be cut to shape with as simple a tool as scissors, with no further tools required for application. Easily used within the pit garage or at home.

Typical Applications
- Protection of engine bay components from engine and exhaust heat.
- Bodywork protection, e.g. The protection of carbon composite materials from radiant heat damage.
- Reduction of heat soak through footwells, bulkheads, etc.
- Insulation of air intake systems. Reducing heat soak thereby minimising air intake temperatures for maximum engine performance.
