Heat reflective tape
« on: January 16, 2015, 08:16:18 am »
Thinking of wrapping my induction in some heat reflective tape.

I've seen this on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=331429993433
But it seems quite expensive for what it is?

We use this at work;



Do you think it will be suitable? I've researched it and it says it will reflect heat but I don't know whether it will be as efficient as the gold stuff?

Yeah I thought that would be the case. I hadn't heard of DEI before, do you know a UK stockist? Can only seem to find it on amazon abroad.

Is there any difference between the gold and silver stuff?

Not sure to be honest. They have the gold stuff as well though.

Reflect - A - Gold is the stuff go use, reflects over 800 degrees F......pretty sure the silver stuff doesn't reflect heat but is something to do with keeping stuff cool.
