Is this the product ?

Are there any other specialty products used that may be of interest ?

Yes, that is the product. In insulation form, it is make up of tiny beads that are impregnated into the fabric. The stuff is phenomenal.
Other specialty products are the different alloys we used in making the car. Maraging 300 comes to mind for one off gears and other parts that need incredible amounts of high strength without the worry of cracking when quenched. The price of the metal is pretty steep--but certainly less than a failed part.
