Clearly, you don't know what product I posted about, which has no cotton or anything of the sort. Rather, it is a product specifically designed for heating duct insulation, with an adhesive-backed foam core about 1/8" thick, and aluminum foil facing, which makes it impervious to fuel, oil, etc. Seal the edges with aluminum foil tape, about $3/roll.

Mike dunno the chemical composition but most cars in the last few decades have had a fibrous material as hood underlayment that is certainly flammable.
Jute would probably go up fast if near a flame source and probably absorbs oil vapors, so maybe not a good idea for cars with vented PCV systems.
