Insulating Paint Additive

Insulating Paint Additive

HyTech Insulating Paint Additive when mixed into paint the painted surface dries to a tightly packed layer of the hard, hollow "microspheres", ( Hy-Tech's exclusive CVM, ceramic vacuum matrix technology.) The tightly packed film reflects and dissipates heat by minimizing the path for the transfer of heat. The ceramics are able to reflect, refract and block heat radiation (loss or gain) and dissipate heat rapidly preventing heat transfer through the coating with as much as 90% of solar infrared rays and 85% of ultra violet-rays being radiated back into the atmosphere.

The ceramic materials in Insuladd® have unique energy savings conservation properties that reflect, resist, and dissipate heat. The hollow ceramic micro-spheres reflective quality affects the warming phenomenon called "Mean Radiant Temperature," where heat waves from a source such as direct sunlight cause a person to feel warmer even though the actual air temperature is no different between a shady and sunny location. It is the molecular friction within the skin caused by the sun's radiant energy waves which makes the body feel warmer.

Did you know... The average wood frame home has a measured exterior whole wall R-value of only R 9.6, even though it has R-11 fiberglass insulation! The average cement block home has a measured exterior whole wall R-value of between R-3.6 and R-8.6 Two coats of house paint with Insuladd® applied to these walls will improve the effective R-Value of the walls by over 50%!

What is Insuladd e-coat? Insuladd e-coat is an elastomeric, energy saving, flexible 100% water based acrylic coating. When applied as directed, this product bridges minor surface imperfections, protects against driving rain, provides out-standing durability, and offers long lasting protection, as well as offering energy saving in both cold and hot climates.

Key Features: Saves up to 40% energy by reducing heating and cooling demands. High Impact Resistance Resistant to atmospheric pollution Stable over a wide range of temperature variations Non-toxic & environmentally friendly Remains intact on flexible surfaces Excellent crack bridging Exceptional film durability Resistant to UV degradation Bonds well to a wide range of surfaces Gloss retention & Mildew resistant.
