Current Adoptions
Early applications for ZircoFlex® foil came from the motorsport sector, where the foil can be used to protect sensitive components from heat in increasingly crowded engine bays. ZircoFlex® foil is currently being supplied to a wide range of motorsport series including Formula 1. We are also supplying considerable volumes to the automotive and aerospace sectors where the foil is in demand as a rapid solution to thermal protection problems.
