Heat Insulating Adhesive & Aluminium Foil Tape
Heat Resistant Aluminium Foil Tape
This is pure aluminium foil tape in either a 0.03mm or 0.07mm thickness. Great for many repair jobs at home but also useful on the car and can reflect heat from intake pipes and other heat sensitive engine parts
Shop NowReinforced Heat Resistant Aluminium Tape
The Kool Wrap Reinforced tape has a reinforced fibreglass backing and a real aluminium foil outer face. Ideal where you need a stronger tape capable of withstanding temperatures up to 600°C.
Shop NowHeat Resistant Fibreglass Backed Aluminium Tape
This tape is 1.3mm thick and has a real aluminium foil facing backed by a thick woven fibreglass backing. The fibreglass provides a real insulation layer between the foil and the product or surface you wish to protect. Many uses including on aircraft, racing cars and boats and even in industrial kitchens.

Heat resistant tape vs heat reflective tape
Heat reflective tape has a foil face that bounces radiant heat away from whatever it covers. Heat resistant tape is built to survive near heat without the adhesive or backing failing. The best tapes for engine bays do both: a reflective aluminium face on a fibreglass backing that adds strength and insulation. Plain foil tape reflects heat but has no insulating layer, so it suits sealing and lighter jobs.

Choose your tape by the job
- Sealing joins in foil insulation, van liner or ducting: standard aluminium foil tape.
- Spiral wrapping a hose, wiring loom or intake pipe near heat: reinforced foil tape.
- Adding insulation to an airbox, intake tube, firewall patch or fuel line: fibreglass-backed tape.
- Sealing cut edges and joins on an adhesive heat shield: aluminium foil tape.
- Matching gold heat shielding: Gold Reflecta Shield reinforced tape.
How to apply heat tape so it stays put
- Clean the surface with a degreaser and let it dry fully. Adhesive fails on oil, dust and moisture.
- Work in mild conditions. Warm, dry surfaces bond best.
- Cut the tape to length before you peel the liner.
- Press it down firmly and rub it flat with a cloth or roller to push out air.
- On hoses and looms, spiral wrap with an even overlap and finish on the underside, away from direct heat.
Where tape is the wrong product
Tape protects parts near heat. It is not built to go directly onto exhaust pipes, extractors, manifolds or turbo housings. Use exhaust heat wrap on pipes, a turbo blanket on the turbine housing and a heat shield for larger panels. For hoses and wires close to the heat, a heat sleeve gives more protection than tape.

FAQ
What is the difference between regular aluminium foil and heat-resistant aluminium foil tape?
The main difference between regular aluminium foil tape and heat-resistant aluminium foil tape is that the latter can withstand higher temperatures. This is due to the reinforced fibreglass backing, which makes it more heat-resistant. The regular aluminium foil tape is thinner and less heat-resistant, making it more suitable for general repair jobs around the house. However, both types of tape are helpful for different purposes.
What are the applications of heat-resistant aluminium foil tape?
There are many applications for heat-resistant aluminium foil tape. The Kool Wrap Reinforced tape has a reinforced fibreglass backing and a real aluminium foil outer face. It can be used to repair things around the house, car, or other heat-sensitive engine parts.
Can this type of tape be used for car repairs?
Yes, this type of tape can be used for car repairs. The adhesive is heat resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius.
How thick is the Kool Wrap Reinforced Tape?
The Kool Wrap Reinforced tape is 1.3mm thick.
What are the key benefits of using Adhesive Tape and Aluminium Foil Tape?
Adhesive tape is a versatile product that can be used for multiple purposes. It is available in various widths and thicknesses to find the perfect tape for the job.Aluminium foil tape has many benefits, including:
- Heat resistance: The aluminium foil will reflect heat away from sensitive areas, preventing them from overheating.
- Insulation: The adhesive on the back of the foil helps to keep heat in or out.
- Durability: The reinforced fibreglass backing makes this tape solid and durable, able to withstand high temperatures and other extreme conditions.
- Adhesion: The adhesive on the back of the foil tape helps it stick to surfaces, making it ideal for use in various applications.
- Reflectivity: The shiny surface of the aluminium foil reflects light, making it perfect for use in reflectors and other lighting applications.
