Made from Lava Rock
Pulverized lava rock, also known as basalt fiber, is a key component in Thermo-Tec’s exhaust wrap products. Here’s how it’s used and why it’s beneficial:
Composition: Pulverized lava rock is derived from basalt, a volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava. Basalt fiber is made by melting basalt rock at high temperatures and then extruding the molten material into thin fibers.
Properties: Basalt fiber is known for its exceptional heat resistance, strength, and durability. It can withstand high temperatures, making it well-suited for applications where thermal insulation and heat management are crucial.
Thermo-Tec’s Exhaust Wrap: Thermo-Tec incorporates pulverized lava rock, or basalt fiber, into its exhaust wrap products to enhance their performance. The basalt fiber provides excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to contain and manage heat within the exhaust system.
Hi-Tech Carbon Fiber Appearance: Thermo-Tec’s exhaust wraps featuring pulverized lava rock often boast a hi-tech carbon fiber appearance. This not only adds visual appeal but also reflects the advanced materials and technology used in the product.
Resistance to Discoloration: Pulverized lava rock-based exhaust wraps are resistant to discoloration, maintaining their appearance even under high-temperature conditions. This ensures that the wrap retains its aesthetic appeal over time.
Performance Benefits: By wrapping headers and exhaust components with Thermo-Tec’s exhaust wrap containing pulverized lava rock, hotter exhaust gases are maintained within the system. This promotes faster expulsion of exhaust gases, resulting in increased exhaust scavenging and lower intake temperatures. These benefits contribute to improved engine performance and efficiency.
Overall, pulverized lava rock plays a crucial role in enhancing the thermal management capabilities and performance of Thermo-Tec’s exhaust wrap products, making them popular choices among automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike.
