JBC Technologies Launches TABShield

JBC Technologies launches TABshield, a new product portfolio of lightweight, flexible, easy-to-install composite materials for targeted thermal and acoustical protection. It is a lower cost solution to traditional metal heat shields and is perfect for applications with space constraints. Additional benefits include low cost die cut tooling, embossing for better formability, and quick delivery. JBC offers multiple customizations to its TABshield line to accommodate the varying design and performance requirements of automotive and appliance OEMs. "Lightweighting vehicles for improved fuel economy is a significant challenge for the auto industry," said Brenda Doskocil, Vice President of Business Development for JBC. "OEM's are being pushed for cost-effective options that take weight out of vehicles. Our team at JBC recognized a need in the market and, thanks to our vertical integration and technical depth, we were able to develop a composite material that both solves this issue and complements our existing light gauge aluminum product line." In addition to TABshield, JBC provides a variety of die cut solutions ideal for thermal and acoustic protection - from ceramic blankets and glass mats, to embossed and micro perforated foils, to other non-woven materials, synthetic blankets and polyurethane foams.
