Building Envelope Solutions
Radiant barriers in the form of insulation coatings complement mass-based insulation by combining the strengths of both. Ceramic insulation coatings reflect solar radiation and reduce heat saturation of mass-based material during the summer. Interior surface-based radiant barriers help maintain heat levels during the winter. The hybrid combination of both materials results in a synergy based on leveraging heat retention and the blocking of heat transfer.
Building Envelope Value Propositions
- Provides an RvE (R-Value Equivalency) of R-9 – R15 with
- Addresses all three types of heat transfer- Conduction, Convection and Radiation.
- Reflects 97% of solar radiation
- Reduces solar heat loading on when used on roofs and walls
- Provides a thermal barrier and can be applied either internally or externally to provide reduction in heat transfer and maintain much cooler , steadier temperatures
- Effective as:
- Air Barrier to control air leakage into and out of the building envelope
- Thermal Barrier to block the transfer of heat or cold
- Vapor Barrier to block Moisture and Condensation
- Acoustic Barrier to dampen noise
BAE Systems Warehouse – Australia
Metal building envelopes can easily heat up to 155F/68C from solar heat loading. Using ACS CIC, that temperature can be reduced by as much as 29C/52F.
BAE Systems Warehouse Rooftop – Australia
ACS CIC applied to rooftop of a warehouse to block solar heat loading, lower interior ambient temperature. Also to control interior condensation in winter by keeping the interior ceiling above dew point temperature when it’s cold outside.
Boeing Satellite Container
CIC was used to reduce condensation dripping on satellites while descending from hot to cold air inside air freighters.
Container for Sonar Equipment Storage & Work Shop
Deck-loaded work shop for monitoring sonar equipment while at sea. ACS CIC was used successfully as primary insulation.
Dow Chemical, Pittsburg, CA Shed
Application of CIC to block solar heat loading on a metal shack housing AC equipment cooling electrical breakers.
Mobile Kitchen Application – Australia
Solar heat loading reduction of 29C/52F on exterior surfaces is reported using ACS CIC in Australia.
Muzz-Buzz – Australia
I have no idea – looks like a shelter of some kind!
Container Exterior Before – Australia
Container-based work shops and offices are easily insulated against solar heat loading during the day and heat retention at night. AC was reported to “kick on” 30% less by owners.
Container Inside -Australia
Container-based work shops and offices are easily insulated against solar heat loading during the day and heat retention at night. AC was reported to “kick on” 30% less by owners.

Tank Application – Australia
Rooftop HVAC Ducting
ACS CIC 4.0 applied to rooftop HVAC ducting to seal duct joints and block solar heat loading.
Shell Oil Work Space Containers Exterior
Shell Oil work shops and storage containers intended for their drilling platform in Alaska. Insulated for condensation control and heat retention.
Shipping Container Living Quarters
Shipping container-based living quarters intended for ship use, deck-loaded with CIC coating on interior for temperature control in hot and cold climates. This is a “hybrid” insulation project that will use ACS CIC and conventional materials. The ACS CIC will insure conventional materials stay dry and perform.
Shipping Container Welding Shop Exterior
Sound Propeller welding shop of stacked shipping containers. ACS CIC applied for primary insulation against condensation, heat retention and against summer solar heat loading. Owners report that it’s very comfortable all year round.
Shipping Container Welding Shop Exterior Winter
Sound Propeller’s welding shop of stacked shipping containers. ACS CIC was applied for primary insulation against condensation, for heat retention and against summer solar heat loading. Owners report that it’s very comfortable all year round.
Shipping Container Welding Shop Interior
Sound Propeller of Seattle built this welding shop of stacked shipping containers. ACS CIC at 40 mils/1mm was applied for primary insulation against condensation, for heat retention and summer solar heat loading. Owners report that it’s very comfortable all year round.
Storage Shed in Fire Zone – Australia
While greatly reducing solar heat loading on surfaces, ACS CIC is also applied based on it’s classification as a fire retardant.
