Insulating Qualities:

Thermal Coat is designed to provide thermal insulation for a variety of industrial applications, providing an effective, inexpensive alternative to the high cost of typical insulation systems.

99% of the radiant energy gain that comes in contact with Thermal Coat is either reflected or re-emitted; meaning only 1% of the radiant energy is absorbed.

The use of thermal coat, in place of other insulation, reduces both the space and weight for any given structure or piece of equipment. A single gallon of thermal coat weighs only six pounds.

As Thermal coat adheres directly to the surface it virtually eliminates the potential for surface corrosion unlike wrapping or mastic insulation.

Thermal coat can also be used to insulate valves, flanges and joints, which again cannot be effectively insulated by traditional methods.

Thermal Coat neither requires complete removal for surface inspection and it can be easily touched up after minor structural repairs.

Thermal Coat installs in much less time than other typical insulations through spraying or brushing techniques.

Burn Protection
The burn protection phenomenon of Thermal Coat is due to the low thermal inertia and heat transfer properties of the product. These unique properties make even extremely hot surfaces safer and less likely to burn a person, even at much higher temperatures. The table below demonstrates the impact Thermal coat can have on reducing the temperature of a heated surface in relation to the thickness of coat applied.

Table adapted from information provided by Capstone Manufacturing (USA)

These results show how even a heated surface of 212°c can be reduced to a level that is safe to work around. It is generally recognised that metal substrate temperatures above 70°c are considered unsafe for skin contact. However even a thin coating of Thermal Coat applied to the surface will insure that the surface is safe for contact exposure. The results in the table show the thickness in mm required to reduce a heated surface to 60°c. By increasing the thickness of Thermal Coat applied this temperature could be reduced even further to for example 30°c.
