New Generation Insulation Solutions
The key to effective insulation is to recognize strengths and weaknesses of all types of materials and using them productively. The first step is to recognize what you're dealing with in terms of heat transfer.
- Is it solar heat loading on a structure causing AC equipment to cycle continuously?
- A cold surface condensing moist air and causing corrosion?
- Steam pipes and valves that whose insulation is subject to washdown and soaks up water?
- Cooking equipment that's enveloped in steam continuously? Anything in 95% humidity?
- Fuel storage tanks in a tropical marine environment?
Traditional insulation has been failing in these conditions from the first day it was installed. In many, if not most cases, ceramic insulation coating will perform by itself or can also be combined with other materials to yield optimal thermal results.
Preventing contact with moisture is the best way to prevent corrosion. Using insulation that can't absorb moisture is another. Unfortunately, fiberglass, rock wool, calcium silicate and other traditional insulations all absorb moisture and promote corrosion. By covering surfaces, they also prevent visual inspection of the substrate. Insulation coating protects surfaces from corrosion while providing insulation value.
Ceramic insulation coating can provide energy savings of 30%-60% depending on ambient temperature, weather conditions and application thickness. Conventional materials cannot be kept dry from rain or free from moisture and high humidity.
Surfaces in the temperature range of 140F will burn bare skin. Insulation coating can be used to reduce skin temperatures allowing companies and their employee's a safer working environment with lower liability concerns and complete visual inspection on all coated lines, tanks or equipment.
Sound Damping coating can reduce mechanical resonance in the structure of a vessel itself or things in the room. Our damping coating reduces metal structure-based transfer of noise energy and lowers surface acceptance and transmittance to provide decibel reductions of 10-12 dB in the 150-1000 Hz range. That equates to reduction of over half the noise energy.
