RaceTEX thermal acoustical insulation applications

The management of the high temperature, gas flow, along with noise output and vibration pressures are critical factors in all internal combustion engine exhaust system designs. These factors are particularly challenging in high performance and heavy duty vehicles and equipment.

RaceTEX brand products utilitze unique high temperature continuous filament materials, proprietary manufacturing processes and custom designs. BCI is the proven, innovation leading producer of RaceTEX muffler packing for a wide range of high performance exhaust systems applications.

For Power Sports, to High Performance Vehicles, to Industrial equipment and power generation using free flow or hybrid absorption insulated mufflers, RaceTEX thermal acoustical is your best solution for meeting your performance & durability requirements.

01

RaceTEX for Power Sport Mufflers

Power Sport Vehicles including;

• Auto Racing / Motorcycle Racing / Motocross 
• ATVs / UTV / Snowmobiles

Power Sports Vehicles are often the most demanding applications for mufflers for a range of reasons. Exhaust gasses in these systems are extremely hot, turbulent and high pressure.

Maintaining higher power with increased temperatures, gas velocities and noise levels must be managed effectively for competition.

Meeting noise level regulations, minimizing exhaust system weight and surface temperatures for performance and safety require design flexibility and optimization.

Absorption muffler designs using RaceTEX thermal acoustical insulation customer engineered to the specific vehicle design requirements can deliver the performance and durability needed for these challenging requirements.

02

Other High performance Vehicles

Including;

• Passenger Automobiles / Trucks / Road Bikes

RaceTEX packing insulation is currently used in many higher performing vehicles where the power loss due to back pressures of mechanically baffled mufflers is undesirable.

Where sound quality, low maintenance, fuel efficiency and exterior exhaust system temperatures are important design requirements.

Hybrid mufflers which combine mechanical baffles along with RaceTEX high temperature thermal insulation packing, are used to reduce emissions and enhance the performance of the catalytic converters.

03

Industrial Equipment Exhaust Systems and Power Generations

Including;

• Tractors / Tow Motors / Farming and Mining Equipment
• Boilers / Incinerators / Industrial heat process equipment
• Power Plants / Stand-By Generators / Portable Generators

Exhaust systems for Industrial thermal processing equipment are often subject to performance requirements and environmental regulations for worker safety, fire protections, air quality and noise control.

Regulated by OSHA, the EPA and the NFPA, equipment builders use RaceTEX thermal-insulation material to meet these regulations.
