- Fire retardant and SAE tested for automotive applications
- Meets Mil-C-24929A
Material Specification No. 1214
Details
The ALS-5 material is lightweight yet provides exceptional heat shielding in high-temperature conditions.
The ALS-5 material is highly flexible due to being only 0.006” thick, and engineered for smaller diameter components. The aluminized fiberglass cloth is intended for applications that are exposed to continuous temperatures as high as 350°F (177°C), with handling short bursts of temperatures as high as 572°F (300°C). The ALS-5 pairs well with an adhesive, high-temperature zipper, or Kevlar thread closure to provide complete, 360-degree heat shielding or custom components that need partial protection. ALS-5 works perfectly for automotive applications such as under-the-hood wiring because of the high-temperature capabilities, lightweight composition, and meeting the SAE J2302 requirements for Thermal Effectiveness.
