Thermo-Tec – The Heat Control Specialists
Thermo-Tec is a globally recognized brand dedicated to one of the most critical yet often underestimated aspects of automotive engineering: thermal management. Since 1987, the company has pioneered innovative insulation technologies that protect sensitive components, enhance performance, and extend the life of high-stress systems in motorsport, custom builds, and OEM applications alike. Whether it’s controlling under-hood temperatures or shielding turbo systems, Thermo-Tec brings proven American engineering to the art of heat control.
In performance driving, heat is both a byproduct and a threat. Excessive thermal exposure degrades components, disrupts air intake efficiency, and increases the risk of failure. Thermo-Tec’s mission is to contain, reflect, and manage heat energy at the source—enabling safer, more reliable, and more powerful vehicles. At ATOMIC-SHOP, we offer a wide selection of original Thermo-Tec solutions tailored for European and international enthusiasts who demand serious thermal performance.
Exhaust Wraps – Protecting Performance at the Core
One of Thermo-Tec’s signature innovations is its exhaust wrap technology—designed to retain heat inside exhaust pipes while shielding the surrounding engine bay from radiant temperatures. These wraps improve exhaust gas velocity by maintaining thermal energy within the system, which in turn enhances turbo spool, scavenging, and overall flow dynamics. Ideal for turbocharged setups, V8 swaps, or tight engine compartments, Thermo-Tec exhaust wraps are trusted worldwide.
Available in high-temperature fiberglass and basalt fiber composites, the wraps come in various widths and colors, including the brand’s renowned Ricochet series. They resist direct heat exposure up to 2000°F (≈1093°C), making them suitable for headers, downpipes, and crossovers. The result is a cooler bay, reduced heat soak, and minimized thermal fatigue on adjacent components like fuel lines, sensors, and electronics.
Turbo Covers and Heat Shields – Maximum Protection Where It Counts
Thermo-Tec also leads in turbo protection with its line of heat shields and insulating covers. These components wrap around the hottest part of any boosted setup: the turbocharger housing. Built with multi-layer materials including carbon fiber, silica, and ceramic insulation, these shields keep radiant heat trapped inside the turbine assembly, preventing it from damaging nearby hoses, brake lines, or wiring.
Products such as the T3 and T4 Ricochet turbo covers are engineered to be both durable and easy to fit. They’re secured with stainless steel clasps and reinforced stitching, maintaining their shape and function even in demanding track conditions. Whether you're building a full-race application or enhancing thermal safety on a street project, these covers help you run higher boost levels with confidence and less compromise.
Hose and Wire Insulation – Precision in Every Channel
Thermo-Tec offers a wide range of sleeves and wraps designed specifically for protecting hoses, wires, and fluid lines from thermal degradation. These include products like the Thermo-Flex series, Express Sleeves, and Thermo-Sleeves—all tailored for different diameters and environmental exposures. Ideal for fuel lines, brake lines, oxygen sensors, and wiring harnesses, these protectors guard against both radiant and conductive heat.
By integrating these sleeves into your build, you ensure consistent signal transmission, fluid stability, and long-term reliability in harsh engine environments. The material choices—ranging from aluminized fiberglass to thermal composites—allow each solution to handle different use cases without bulk or over-insulation. This is targeted, efficient protection designed by engineers who understand real-world applications.
Adhesive Thermal Barriers and Sound Suppression
Thermo-Tec is also known for its adhesive-backed thermal barriers—flexible, foil-backed mats that line the interior of engine bays, firewalls, floors, or trunks. These barriers serve a dual purpose: reflecting heat away from the cockpit and damping sound from the drivetrain and road noise. Especially useful in performance cars with minimal factory insulation, they provide a noticeable improvement in cabin comfort.
Products like the Suppressor series deliver up to 70 sq. ft of heat and sound insulation per kit, using multiple layers of acoustic foam and reflective film. Installation is simple with peel-and-stick application, and the material can be trimmed for complex contours. Whether you're prepping a race car or enhancing daily usability in a turbo street build, Thermo-Tec barriers raise the quality of the driving experience.
Hardware, Wrap Accessories, and Fitment Tools
A proper insulation job demands reliable hardware—and Thermo-Tec delivers. The brand provides stainless steel clamps, snap straps, and pipe shield kits designed to integrate cleanly into performance applications. Their Ricochet pipe shields and stainless steel barriers can be mounted externally to protect specific areas like intake runners or fuel rails, combining form and function in a way that minimizes visual intrusion.
Additionally, Thermo-Tec offers dedicated adhesive sprays, heat-safe coatings, and sealants that extend the life of exhaust wraps and thermal mats. These supporting materials ensure your heat management system not only performs but maintains its integrity over time. Details matter, and Thermo-Tec ensures every layer, tie, and clamp performs under pressure.
Applications from Motorsport to OEM Engineering
Thermo-Tec products are used across motorsport, restoration, and OEM vehicle preparation. Their solutions have been seen in drag cars, off-road trucks, rally builds, and endurance racing platforms. They are especially valuable in turbocharged and high-compression engines where thermal margins are tight, and cooling airflow is limited. But the brand also supports restoration specialists and retrofits—where protecting vintage wiring and carb setups from modern powertrain heat is essential.
Because Thermo-Tec focuses on modular, customizable protection, builders can create tailored solutions without bulky aftermarket compromises. Whether you're isolating a single downpipe or shielding an entire bay, their lineup ensures fit, flexibility, and durability in demanding conditions. This is motorsport-tested engineering made accessible for real-world application.
Why Builders Choose Thermo-Tec
Thermo-Tec is chosen by professionals because it works—consistently, predictably, and intelligently. It’s not about simply wrapping pipes or sticking on foil. It’s about controlling the flow of heat energy to protect critical systems, improve performance, and extend durability. That level of understanding, supported by decades of R&D and field testing, is what makes Thermo-Tec an industry leader.
Their catalog reflects deep system-level thinking: how airflow, pressure, heat, and time affect every part of a performance vehicle. Thermo-Tec gives you the tools to take control—not just of the temperature, but of the build itself. And with solutions at every price and skill level, the barrier to proper thermal management is gone.
