Super Therm -
Ceramic Paint Insulation
The Need
| |
Insulation
is important for buildings in many
ways such as for conserving energy,
preventing fire hazards, reducing
noise to tolerable working levels
required by law, and reducing
requirements for air conditioning
and heat generating systems.
Insulation materials have been
developed for specific uses and are
produced in many forms, one of which
is coating.
Nowadays, the industry requires
not only effective insulative
materials but also the ones that
have a tough surface and provide
flexibility as require by the stress
of contraction and
expansion. Insulation paint
generally develops hairline cracks
when the surface moves, through
which moisture invades to develop
blistering and finally peeling. |
SUPER THERM barrier maintains heat
on the surface side of the building
-- will not allow penetration. |
The Technology
| |
SUPER
THERM
is the
result of years of research and
development into Thermal
Conductivity in cooperation with the
Marshall Space Center, division of
NASA.
SUPER
THERM can control heat exchange
between the inside and outside of a
building. By implementing SUPER
THERM, the effectiveness of the
insulative ability will increase
because when SUPER THERM is applied
to the exterior side of the wall, it
repels exterior heat and moisture to
prevent it from entering the wall.
At the same time, it helps to
control the loss of heat from the
inside during the winter months by
bouncing back the heat waves
travelling from the interior heated
room through the wall structure
escaping to the outside.
SUPER THERM is a combination of
high-performance acrylic resins in
water, which contain no cosolvents
and will dry by evaporation. SUPER
THERM has two reflective ceramics to
reflect sunlight and radiant heat
while the third ceramic compound
works to stop heat and/or conduction
through the coating film. The
combination of acrylics provide
elasticity and toughness with the
urethane providing the binding for
the acrylics and compound while also
providing a moisture barrier.
The SUPER THERM is perfect for
interior or exterior walls of wood,
metal, concrete, standard wallboard,
stone or stucco, and for roofing
surfaces of steel, rubber, tar or
asphalt shingles.

Other specific uses of
SUPER THERM are for:
-
Industrial / chemical plants.
-
Oil and gas storage tanks /
pipeline
-
Interior and exterior walls on
building / residential,
commercial, warehousing
-
Roofing on any structure
-
Swimming pool decking or
concrete.
-
Freezers / refrigeration units /
trucks / trains / boats.
-
Air conditioning unit outer
casings, evaporative coolers.
-
Mobile homes / motor homes /
cars / trucks
-
Poultry, cattle -- all animal
shelters

The Benefits
| |
-
SUPER THERM is
water-based. This offers
tremendous advantages to the
user of the product.
-
SUPER THERM does not
require extra effort work in
clean-up of equipment and allows
equipment longer life.
-
The product is non-toxic,
non-flammable, will not smoke
and offers--due to the
ceramics--some sound-proofing.
It has been fire-tested with '0'
flame and smoke results.
-
SUPER THERM cures out completely
in one week to an extremely
tough, durable, non-yellowing,
water-resistant coating that
also provides flexibility an
ultra-violet stability.
-
Clean-up with soap and water, or
just water by itself is
sufficient.
-
USDA-approved for use in
and around food preparation.

Status
| |
SUPER THERM is awarded NASA's
highest rating as non-toxic, passed
flammability tests to receive an
A-rating (highest non-flammable
rating), and NASA is currently
considering SUPER THERM for
application to the external tanks of
The Shuttle and the launch pad.
One of the most successful
applications of SUPER THERM is in
the treatment of roofs and walls of
commercial and residential
structures as a barrier against heat
and cold. Over the past few years
SUPER THERM has been well proven in
a variety of countries, such as
Australia, Canada, Colombia, Japan,
United Arab Emirates, and USA.
SUPER THERM is registered as
THERMSEAL under Intercoat. |
Barriers
| |
SUPER THERM
was designed and its technology is
built upon providing the insulation
effectiveness on a single coat, with
minimum of 7 dry mils or 200 microns
thickness. Two or three applications
or coats are required if there is an
intent on overcoating
SUPER THERM
with another paint product, which is
usually a particular color over the
top of the
SUPER THERM
for decoration. The extra thickness
is required because the colored
paint applied over the top of the
SUPER THERM
will catch and hold heat. |
