DEI Onyx Series Flexible Heat Shields

The Onyx Series Flexible Heat Shield is DEI’s next generation of heat protection performance. Using a combination of advanced textiles and a reliable standoff bracket design, the Onyx Series Flexible Heat Shield provides maximum cooling and heat dissipation; preventing heat soak and burns.

DEI’s new Onyx Series Heat Shield joins two durable materials together to form a dual-layer design. The outer layer is a heat-treated glass fiber impregnated with molten aluminum that is formed into a tight weave for durability and strength. The inside material is a specially treated, high temperature resistant fabric (89% silica) that withstands extreme heat – up to 1350°F. The outer edge features a surge stitch and all hardware is stainless steel.

This proprietary textile technology combined with DEI’s unique standoff stainless steel bracket design provides maximum cooling and heat dissipation. Designed to be flexible, the shield fits many different applications and pipe diameters. In addition to use as a protective barrier on exhaust pipes, auto or motorcycle, the shield is recommended to use as a heat barrier between transmissions, brake lines, hoses, electrical wiring, gas tanks, body panels, bumpers and more.
