The Design Engineering (DEI) Versa-Shield combines a reflective aluminized outer layer with a high-temperature glass-fiber insulation backing to reduce radiant heat transfer and lower part temperatures. Its 7\" x 24\" size works as a starter wrap out of the box yet can be trimmed for other uses, and the hook-and-loop closure lets you fit it without removing the component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Versa-Shield cut down heat reaching my starter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product blocks radiant heat with an aluminized surface while the glass-fiber insulation absorbs and dissipates heat that tries to conduct through. Together they reduce the temperature exposure of the wrapped part and slow heat soak that otherwise raises internal starter temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminized outer layer reflects radiant heat up to 2000°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHi-temp glass-fiber backing resists direct temperatures up to 500°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrap form minimizes gaps for more consistent thermal protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I need to remove the starter to install this wrap?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the Versa-Shield is made to install around mounted components.
