Saying carbon fiber will melt if you pout heat next to it is....well, wroIng.
I'm afraid it doesn't say it won't melt. It says it will resist catching fire longer than if the fibers weren't there. That's a far cry from "it won't melt". How long is "longer"? How long is a piece of string?
Plus, it has gelcoat and paint.
If you can heatshrink insulated wires together, maybe you can carefully do a heatshrink on a carbon frame but I would still say extreme caution is warranted.
