Super Therm® is a ceramic based, water-borne, insulating coating, designed to block heat load, moisture penetration, and air infiltration over a surface and to reduce energy costs. Super Therm® is the most effective and longest lasting ceramic insulation coating on the market today. Super Therm® reflects over 95% of the three radiation sources from the sun, which are ultraviolet, visual light and infra red rays.
Benefits of Super Therm®:
- Energy Savings – Super Therm® can provide energy savings of 20-70%. According to use and application.
- R-19 Equivalent Rating – Super Therm® reflects over 95% of radiation from the sun replacing the 6 to 8 inches of traditional insulation to block initial heat load.
- Blocks Moisture and Air Infliltration – Super Therm® is certified and tested as a moisture and air barrier under ASTM certified testing.
- Environmentally Friendly – Super Therm® is certified environmentally safe and eco-effective by MBDC LLC (Gold Certificate) and is approved by the USDA for use in and around food preparation areas. (The original USDA testing and approval letter is on file.)
- Class A Fire Rating – In case of fire, Super Therm® will not contribute and will resist the spread of fire. “0″ Flame and smoke.
- Long Lasting – Super Therm® has a 20+ year lifespan on roofing under normal conditions when applied as a system
Super Therm® is UL, FM, DNV, ABS, IMO, USDA, Energy Star, ICC, California Home Furnishings, and U.S. Coast Guard and CRRC approved to meet criteria.
Super Therm® is Energy Star qualified as a 20 year roof coating (page 87, Energy Star Roof Product List)
Super Therm® OutperformsTraditional Insulation
The ASTM C-236 Heat Transfer (Guarded Hot Box) test was performed with Super Therm® to determine the BTU/in./sq.ft/hour/F and conductivity performance of Super Therm® so that a comparison could be made with traditional insulation. Since this test, many facts have come to light concerning the test methods and procedures used by the traditional insulation industry to demonstrate insulation (R) rating.
These results are astounding! Super Therm® is 296% more effective than traditional insulation under identical conditions and shown to be stable all day in field studies by Sony, UPS and others. * Tested by Owens Corning Insulation for Mechanical Systems 2002. |
HSC™: Medium Temperature Coating
Get heat protection that surpasses conventional insulation with HSC™ Coating. HSC™ Coating is a ceramic based, water-borne insulating coating designed to insulate in medium temperature situations. Use HSC™ Coating as a base coat/primer or build layers for additional protection.
This insulation method is much different than the traditional “wrap” insulation materials that only slow down the loss of heat (known as an R rating or “heat transfer”). The seven ceramic compounds used create a barrier to catch and hold heat on the surface of the unit—be it pipe, furnace surface, boiler, etc. Unlike wraps that use air as the insulation component, the ceramic compounds in HSC™ Coating resist absorbing heat trying to come off the surface to escape. This traps and holds the heat onto the surface for more effective insulation performance.
Benefits of HSC™ Coating
- Easy to Apply – Apply directly to hot pipes while operating with brush, roller, or airless sprayer.
- Increased Insulation – Additional coats immediately reduce surface temperature and loss of heat.
- Long Lasting – Does not absorb moisture or lose insulation value.
- Safe – HSC™ Coating is non-flammable and non-toxic.
- Coverage – Can be brushed or sprayed to fit over any configuration or shape.
Super Therm® and HSC work well as in indoor – outdoor knock out combination punch to may insulation needs. HSC works especially well for the underside of roof decking in attics, HVAC equipment and hot surfaces below 350°F. It forms a non-conductive barrier preventing the loss of conductive and radiant heat from surfaces.
