Aluminized High Temperature Cable Heat Shield - Automotive Wiring Harness Braided Wire Sleeve
Product Overview
The aluminized braided wire sleeve is engineered for automotive wiring harness heat shielding, providing radiant heat reflection, thermal insulation, and abrasion protection for cables, wires, and electrical looms exposed to high-temperature engine bay environments.
Manufactured by BSTFLEX, this sleeve combines a highly reflective aluminized surface with a flexible braided construction, helping to deflect radiant heat, reduce heat soak, and protect wiring integrity under continuous thermal cycling and vibration.
Available for wholesale supply, it supports OEM assembly, harness manufacturing, and aftermarket installations.
