Funk Motorsport Reflective Heat Tape – Gold & Silver

Funk Motorsport Reflective Heat Tape is designed to reflect radiant heat away from sensitive components and areas of the vehicle. Available in Gold or Silver, both versions use a ceramic fibre weave with a reflective foil surface and adhesive backing for straightforward application.

The Gold version reflects up to 90% of radiant heat, while the Silver version reflects up to 80%. Both are capable of handling continuous temperatures of up to 450°C, making them suitable for demanding automotive and motorsport applications.

Ideal for intake pipework, bulkheads, fuel systems, engine bays and areas exposed to turbocharger or exhaust heat, reflective heat tape is a practical way to reduce radiant heat transfer where it matters.

Gold or Silver – what's the difference?

Gold Reflective Heat Tape

• Reflects up to 90% of radiant heat
• Continuous temperature rating up to 450°C
• Available in 25mm and 50mm widths
• The choice when maximum radiant heat reflection is required

Silver Reflective Heat Tape

• Reflects up to 80% of radiant heat
• Continuous temperature rating up to 450°C
• Available in 50mm width
• Effective radiant heat protection for a wide range of applications

Both versions are adhesive backed and can be cut and shaped to suit the application.

Typical Applications

• Intake pipework and air intake systems
• Bulkheads and cockpit areas
• Fuel cells and fuel lines
• Engine bay components
• Turbocharger and exhaust heat protection
• Areas where radiant heat transfer needs to be reduced

For intake systems, reflective heat tape can help reduce the amount of radiant heat reaching the intake pipework, helping to keep intake temperatures under control. Around bulkheads and cockpit areas, it can be used to reflect heat away from the passenger compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Funk Reflective Heat Tape used for?
It is used to reflect radiant heat away from components and areas that need protection. Common applications include intake pipework, bulkheads, fuel systems, engine bays and areas near turbochargers and exhaust systems.

What is the difference between the Gold and Silver heat tape?
The Gold version reflects up to 90% of radiant heat, compared with up to 80% for the Silver version. Both have a continuous temperature rating of up to 450°C.

Can reflective heat tape reduce intake temperatures?
It can help reduce radiant heat transfer to intake pipework, which can help keep intake temperatures lower where the intake is exposed to a nearby heat source.

Can it be used on a bulkhead?
Yes. Reflective heat tape can be used to reflect radiant heat away from bulkheads and help reduce heat transfer towards the cockpit.

Can it be used around fuel systems?
It can be used as part of a heat-management strategy around fuel cells and fuel lines where protection from radiant heat is required. Always ensure the tape is applied to a suitable clean surface and does not interfere with the operation or inspection of the fuel system.

Is the tape adhesive backed?
Yes. Both Gold and Silver versions feature an adhesive backing for straightforward installation.

What temperature can the tape withstand?
Both versions are rated for continuous temperatures of up to 450°C.

Can the tape be cut to size?
Yes. The tape can be cut to suit the area being protected, making it suitable for pipework and more intricate applications.

Which should I choose, Gold or Silver?
Choose Gold if you want the highest stated radiant heat reflection, at up to 90%. Choose Silver for up to 80% radiant heat reflection where the Gold specification is not required.
