Thermal insulation coating materials

Heat is a form of long wavelength, infrared energy.  It transfers by three main processes:  conduction, convection and radiation.  Coatings which can block or modify these processes have many applications:  industrial thermal insulation for energy conversation and safety; residential and commercial insulation coatings mainly for energy conservation. 

Industrial thermal insulation coatings achieve their performance mainly by blocking heat conductivity to the surfaces, by using a thick (500 microns) dry film embedded with material of very poor heat conductivity such as aerogel silica, hollow ceramic beads etc.  Residential or commercial building thermal insulation coatings can achieve performance by blocking or modifying all the 3 processes of heat transfer, for example, using aerogel silica on glass window or commercial buildings skylight glass to block heat conduction; using aerogel silica in pigmented coating to block conduction and convection of solar heat to keep indoor temperature low, or using reflective pigments to block solar heat transfer by radiation.   

We supply a selected series of materials for the formulation of high performance thermal insulation coatings, particularly for waterborne based coatings.   Click below to check out our products.
