Great question! Our Funk Motorsport Reflective Tape and Sheets are designed to reflect away radiant heat. They are made of a thin ceramic fibre weave, topped with either Gold or Silver Reflective Foil.

Our Funk Motorsport Reflective Heat Blankets however, have an entirely different function. Our Reflective Heat Blankets are made of a 1mm thick ceramic fibre blanket, which is then topped with Gold or Silver Reflective Foil. The blankets act as a Heat Barrier, protecting against convectional heat transfer, while the layer of foil on the external face works to reflect away radiant heat. Perfect for firewalls, bulkheads, and exhaust tunnels or for intake applications where you need a little more protection.

You may have seen applications where Funk Motorsport Gold Reflective Heat Tape has been used on intake pipework. Let’s explain why.

Air Intake Temperatures (AITs) are extremely important. When air enters your engine, you need it to be as dense as possible. The denser the air within your engine, the bigger the bang, and the more power your car will produce. The key? Ensuring your air intake temperatures are as cool as possible. Colder air is denser than warmer air so it is important to ensure that your air intake temperatures are as low as possible for consistent power delivery over time.

All of our products are made from the best materials for the job. This is where Silver and Gold come in. Both are naturally reflective to help reflect away radiant heat. Silver reflects up to 80% of radiant heat, where Gold reflects away up to 90% of radiant heat. Perfect for keeping Air Intake Temperatures as low as possible. In the case of our Reflective Heat Blankets, ceramic fibre blankets are topped with our Gold and Silver Reflective Foil to allow them to reflect away radiant heat as well as fighting against convectional heat transfer.

Great question. Regardless of whether your car is turbocharged, supercharged or naturally aspirated, Air Intake Temperatures are hugely important. Our Intake Protection products are suitable for all engine types to ensure cooler, denser air is provided by your intake.
