  • Product Description
    ReflecTube® 1597J is a reflective convolute tube designed to provide thermal protection for components in radiant heat environments. Composed of a modified nylon polymer base substrate and a highly reflective aluminum coating, ReflecTube 1597J provides protection for wires, cables, hoses and other components requiring radiant heat protection in close proximity to engine and exhaust systems.

    The reflective surface is extremely resistant to automotive fluids and may be classed as insulative against 12 volt automotive currents. Because of its unique blend of thermal and insulative properties, as well as its aesthetic appearance, it is ideal for applications such as battery cables and alternator wiring harnesses.
