It is also flame retardent except the clear. I've used it on scat tube in a number of places firewall forward on an LIV without any softening, all the bends stay bent. Obviously though, it would not be clever to use it near high temp exhaust components but that applies to many other materials as well. As a matter of interest I also installed a temperature probe mounted on the forward face of the firewall about equal in height to the top of the battery box and have yet to see a temperature in excess of 68'C.
