I'd assume so if the underside isn't part of the engine's internals. I would not put something like this in a location where it would be exposed to hot engine oil or other elements that would cause the glue to break down. It'll most likely break down.
Typically, you'd only put this on the radiator if there's something hot nearby, such as an exhaust, that you don't want to transfer any additional heat to the radiator. If there is something near the radiator that you do not want to receive heat from, you can wrap it or place a shroud between them. Wrapping the radiator with this product, in general, will keep more heat in the radiator, which is undesirable.
It's a lot thicker and more powerful now. On my race car's transmission tunnel, I'm using it. a layer inside the car and a layer beneath it My feet aren't as hot, thanks to the excellent adhesive. The header of the footwell runs directly beneath/beside it. I cut with a pair of paramedic shears.
Selected User Reviews For Design Engineering 010460 Reflect-A-Cool Heat Reflective Adhesive Backed Sheets, 12" x 12"
Before installing over the engine of a Diesel RV, I conducted an ambient test ranging from 400 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the glue melted, the foil remained shiny, indicating that it is safe to use near extreme heat.
The product will function properly, but it is unappealing to the eye! There's some ambiguity in the listing! The term "sheet" refers to a piece of paper that has been folded and creased.
When used within its parameters, this is a good product. The material is thin, similar to disposable aluminum baking pan gauge metal with super sticky flypaper on the back side, and you can use it to help deflect heat from surfaces, but DO NOT use it to directly rest upon the hottest parts of the engine or exhaust; RADIANT heat is deflected, but CONTACT HEAT will damage a variety of materials, even if the damage is gradual. When peeling off the adhesive revealer paper, the material tends to curl in on itself, so do so slowly and in a warm environment. If you cut two pieces and stick them adhesive-to-adhesive, GLOVES will help keep the adhesive from polluting. You can make a fairly thick shield out of adhesive that you can wrap around critical tubes/wire bundles closer to the engine for maximum thermal protection. To achieve the best results, secure with stainless steel zip ties.
Clarence was super tight, so we had to put our stove next to a wall work line. When the oven and stovetop were turned on, we wanted to feel secure! Thank you for making this possible. br>.
It sticks to clean plastic extremely well. Also, it's quite thin, which is advantageous when tolerance is tight. If you need to make your own heat shield or barrier, this should work great for any project.
I installed it on a temporary panel outside of some ladder bookcases that are 6" away from my backup wood stove, and the surface is cool to the touch. The shelves were extremely hot before I installed it, which is why I included a barrier. It really works. It was super sticky and easy to roll out with a squeegee on the rough side of melamine, and there was no odor!.
To ensure that I get the coldest temperature possible, I wrapped these around my cold AC line. For added comfort, I wrapped my fuel lines in these as well.
I put it up against the turbo's firewall. On the first run, the silver shielding melted away. The maximum temperature reached by the turbo is 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
