Can I use this on the back of a radiator to reflect the heat back inside?

I'd say no, cause it might burn. Essentially it's a foil with a little bubble wrap in between. It does reflect the temp. I'm using it on a slider, the metal part which gets cold and it does get cold and reflects the cold from it, so much so that I put bubble wrap over it. But with a radiator, it might melt or start a fire verses reflecting the heat from it.Hope this helps.

I just got mine a couple days ago and Iti is thin about a quarter inch thick with aluminum on both sides. I would say yes to your question as long as it dosent get to hot. Its just a guess as I have not tried it yet

I think it would work as long as there is a gap between the radiator and the wall the redlectix is mounted on. It probably would't work if you attached it directly to the radiator.

I originally wanted to use this product on top of the glass areas of my car to prevent the hot sun from heating up my car when it was parked. It worked very well. So it should work for your needs. The material is very thin, so you would need to determine a good method of attaching it to your fridge, eg tape.

Yes. My friend bought the one on the roller for a large sliding glass door & yes it blocks the sun therefore reflecting the heat.

Yes you can, but you must have some way to extract heat from the radiator. I'm using a single fan because the other upset with the memories and the case has an exhaust fan at the top

You should not. Radiator fluid is design not to freeze in the winter and has a higher boiling point than water which would evaporate at a higher rate. Plus pure water can eventually rust and degrade your cooling system.

Hello Sally, The inside has a vinyl lining however, the outside is canvas. I'm not familiar with the process of heat transfer but it would seem that it would be ok unless the process would melt the interior.

Ken, I use it indoors, but I suppose if there is not too much moisture outside when you use it it would work ok. You might need a stronger solution such as those gas powered radiators. It is worth a try. You probably could return it if it does not do the job for you. It works well indoors.

I used it on a cast iron radiator but that isn't a direct fire. Don't really know.

I don't think so. It's not reflective and attaching magnets will focus heat on the surface of the paint.

Andrea, I don't think that I would hang this touching the radiator because of the material that it's made of. I think that prolonged heat might compromise it and create a safety concern. I think that these are better suited to be installed directly to the wall. I hope this helps but hopefully others will let you know how they feel as well.

no, its not meant to be usede like that this is used more to reflect the heat away from like wires and stuff sensitive to heat,i think they make something that you can use directly on your pipes,i used it to reflect the heat from my pipes away from the bottom of my saddle bags,works excellent for that.

It can be applied over the existing mirror if it's simply cracked. My CR-V has power mirrors and it worked fine. I opted to remove the old cracked mirror which I probably wouldn't do if I had it to do over. Wear eye protection. I don't see why it wouldn't work for heated mirrors but I can't say for sure. Hope this helps.

Not much. It reflects some heat and acts as a vapor barrier. Condensation is an issue too with this product. I went out and got some reflectix after I bought this and it works better. Look into that first, home depot sells it.

I don't see any reason it couldn't be. But I will tell you, this product did not work for me. Just like the Wetter Water, & other Cool products, their all based on the same sound principal. But I've tried them All, & not one, has made any difference, in the temperature of my radiator. They All were a waste of my money! I do not recommend any cooling additives! Rodney

Not sure if it reflects heat but I used it on my exhaust wrap to seal it up and make it look more black,I think it might tho reflect heat and stick to your fuel lines if the lines are clean and dry.

I have one of these as an exhaust for my case fan, but as far as I recall the SP series are designed to be used for radiators.

Haven't used it around heat. Sorry but I doubt it would be a good idea. Soldering might not be a good idea on top of this mat. (Just my 2 cents)
