Not sure what is in them. In that they were made for an "under hood engine environment" its likely the diaphragms are able to take some heat, but I can't say for sure since I've never had one in my hand. They're going to see between 350F-400F to cure the powder coating so in "most" cases standard plastic parts will not survive.
