When manufacturing top-quality heat shield products, there are six factors to consider when selecting thermal insulation materials to ensure the best results. Top-quality insulating products such as the ones we make are an investment for the future, whatever your business goals or project objectives are. 1. Top Performance from Superior Materials Is the product designed to work best at a particular temperature range? If it is too hot or cold, will performance be affected? This issue can be particularly acute if your company is manufacturing chemical or biological items – COVID-19 vaccines are a case in point: some of the...

When the heat is literally on in professional car racing, are you ready? While most people focus on power, fewer consider how the heat produced by the engines and brakes affect a race car's safety and performance. Utilizing high-quality thermal control solutions is vital to professional car racing and other motorsports. The heat generated from the engine, gearbox, and brakes can result in permanent damages. Not to mention, the red hot parts can expose surrounding components to excessive conductive and radiant heat. This can change how a car behaves, causing performance or power losses and safety issues. As such, thermal...

A heat shield can be designed and utilized to shield a component from absorbing excessive heat from an external source, or can be designed to contain heat to maintain consistent gas/exhaust temperature.  This is accomplished by either, dissipating, reflecting or absorbing the heat.  At Thermal Control Products, we pride ourselves in designing many types of heat shields for applications such as exhaust thermal management, sensitive component protection, maintaining consistent gas temperatures, and protection of fuel, brake, transmission and electrical systems. The three physical properties that determine how well a heat shield works are: Reflectivity Emissivity Conductivity A radiant type heat-...

"Highest Reviewed from September 24, 2013"  Here at Thermal Control Products, we create high quality custom heat shields. Every heat shield created is customized to your specifications with the highest quality standards (View information on our ISO Certification).  Before we, at Thermal Control Products, Inc., create your custom heat shield, we take the following design parameters into account:  Type of Heat Environment Thermal Control Products, Inc. takes into account what type of environment your customized heat shield will be exposed to. Will the custom heat shield be utilized in a radiant heat application?  Will your customized heat shield be utilized...

As summer heats up, let us help you keep cool. Based in Charlotte, right next to Charlotte Motor Speedway, we always look forward to the excitement that surrounds each race. After all, there are always products from our team helping the NASCAR teams perform better in the intense heat of the car. Jay Pennell of Fox Sports, caught up with Rookie, Justin Allgaier for some insights into the rigors of heat and the track. "It's amazing how hot it is inside these cars," Allgaier said. "That's more of it than the physical side. When you get done with a race,...
