I plan on using it on the inside parts of an RV in the desert. Would it melt in 120 degree heat?

I doubt the material itself would melt, but it will leave behind a lot of the adhesive if you try to remove it.I used it in certain spots of the interior of my new car on a roadtrip with my dog. it was at most 70 degrees in the car the whole time and after 3 days it left a fair amount of adhesive anywhere that had been warmed more than ambient temp (like the leather armrest under my elbow and seat the dog was on)

I life in Texas, we have around 105 degree max weather. If the RV is half way insulated, it would probably.

I would call the manufacturer and ask. I don't know if the glue would break down in the extreme heat and pull too many carpet fibers.

Very possibly.... it is pretty thin and the adhesive is tacky but not overly adhesive, so I would try it in an area for a couple of days and then take it up and replace it with some new, it's cheap enough and there's a lot on the roll I wouldn't risk it becoming a permanent fixture.

It's not plastic, it's silicone, and heat-safe up to 650 degrees (like most silicone products). It'd be SAFE enough, but I suspect you could find a better product for that purpose.

I am not positive but I think I read on the internet that most are high-heat resistant up to 500°F. Good luck.

I have left it in the car the longest one very hot (28 degree celcious)day and nothing melted. Longer than that, i do not know. Hope this helps

I am not exactly sure how this would hold up in the extreme heat. I used this on the floor board of my pickup truck, and when it's super hot in the summer months, it gets a little bit sticky feeling. This product is like rubber in a can. If you wouldn't put rubber near extreme heat, I wouldn't put this near it either.

I only use mine inside, but doubt if they would melt unless heat is extreme.

Yes, it doesn't require high heat, but you should use extreme cautious due to the mixture of led depending what you are melting

It would melt the plastic if it is thin or cheap. This is a hot plate that heats to 200 degrees.

I don't believe the plastic insulation could sustain that kind of heat. The insulation is very similar to bubble wrap used in shipping packages. Even if you were fortunate enough to not have smoke and a fire from using it with so much heat, I suspect it would quickly melt the plastic and lose most of it's insulation value. Just my opinion. I only use it on conventional heating ducts.

I agree with Susan Messer. It can be either depending upon the temperature. It will melt at body temperature.

I really can't say definitively , but I use it mostly to put heat sinks on chips for RC airplane electronics . I have not experienced those temperatures , maybe the vibration issue . I can tell you this stuff holds like a clamp , and it seems the whole part will break before this Thermal Adhesive will come loose . It says it bonds permanently , and I believe it ! I f you try it make sure to clamp the pieces together !

Ive read that the typical plastic melting point is about 300 degrees C, heaters never go above 70 C. That

It does not get that hot where it would melt anything.This is the greatest thing. perfectly safe for anywhere. my chicks only used it for two weeks, i did have a brooder light on, 100 watt regular bulb, but that was only so they could see. It was a good investment, especially when they are first born.

No, it won't melt. It did not melt in the Florida sun BUT ... it became just too sticky to keep. I tried washing it, putting talc on it, oiling it, etc ... after 1 1/2 yrs I threw it away. But if you can figure out how to overcome the stickiness, it's a great cell phone caddy.

I would not think so although I have not tried. It is durable plastic so I would think the heat would melt or alter the look.

it is made out of metal, so, it gets really hot. I use it on my outdoor range. works great at dispersing heat more evenly.i see no problem with using ir inside, just have to let it cool way down before trying to move it.

I would think so. The plastic is pretty rigid and probably the same type used in automobiles. I have one in Alabama and the summers are 95-100. I am not familiar with a summer in Arizona with the "dry heat" and higher temps. I am quite happy with mine. I use it on my deck to keep my grill and grilling accessories out of the weather. It suites my needs wonderfully.
