Adhesive tape solutions for automotive heat shields


Avery Dennison provides engineered adhesive solutions for heat shield applications. Our high performance products meet many OEM specifications.


Heat shields must be lightweight, reliable, and easy to install

Modern vehicle designs incorporate many high-temperature components. These components range from powertrain elements such as turbochargers and exhaust, to electronics placed throughout the vehicle and the wiring needed to supply power. It follows that engineers have an increasing need for heat shielding materials that are not only effective, but lightweight, reliable across a range of substrates and easy to install on an assembly line. More of those engineers are choosing “peel-and-stick” adhesive heat shields, either in addition to — or instead of — mechanically fastened shields.

Pressure-sensitive adhesives for peel-and-stick shields

Avery Dennison offers transfer tape products that are engineered for heat shielding applications. These are available in various constructions, in wide-web format, and can be laminated onto polyester or glass fiber felt during conversion.

Tapes are available with a variety of adhesives for performance on multiple substrates, including low surface energy (LSE) plastics such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE). These adhesives form a secure and long-lasting bond even when exposed to harsh conditions within the vehicle.
