Supertherm is a Coating/Paint! Built
with a combination of two acrylics and one urethane, which makes it flexible,
yet tough It has four different types of ceramics built in to give not
only reflective abilities but also non-conductive ability for heat and
cold. Other elastomeric reflective coatings have only one acrylic and
a single reflective ceramic. Supertherm
ceramics are not the rough multifaceted type as the one found
in other coatings, SUPERTHERM ceramics are
ground to form microscopic spheres. The spherical shape permits the 4
type of ceramics to settle very tight together and not allowing air to
interact between the ceramics thus "plating".
Therefore
this is the reason why Supertherm
is a true insulating coat not just a reflective coat as are all the
competing formulas in the market. Supertherm
Passed 450 hour salt spray test. Also tested by the Thermo
Physical Research Laboratory for comparative
R-19 insulation factor
Supertherm
blocked 99.5% of the heat. No other RE-19 insulator
can claim that!. No Fiberglass,
No Foam, No Cellulose, No other single ceramic paint!
Supertherm's
two reflective ceramics reflect sunlight and radiant heat
while the third ceramic compound works to stop heat and/or cold conduction
through the coating film the fourth ceramic blocks almost all infrared.
The combination of acrylics provide elasticity and toughness while the
urethane binds the acrylics and compounds, also providing a moisture
barrier. The fourth resin additive is what makes the complete resin
blend to combine into a single component and extends the life of the
coating.

67 grams/liter. Limit is 420 grams. Water-based |

| Spread: |
100
sq.ft./gallon on roofing and walls
New
galvanized metal/slick metal surfaces, stainless steel and aluminum
-- apply Rust Grip at 300 sq.ft./ gallon as a primer first,
then Supertherm
at 1OO sq.ft./ gallon (if rusted areas, Rust Grip at 200
sq.ft./ gallon as primer)
|
|
|
Weathered metal surfaces: |
(5-10
years old), no primer needed Apply Supertherm
at 100 sq.ft./gallon (if no rust is present). |
|
| Concrete
surfaces: |
If
painted before, just make sure all loose or flaking paint is off
first, then apply Supertherm
directly. If not painted before, seal concrete first using
Super Base (HS) at 100 sq.ft./gallon, then apply Supertherm.
|
|
| Tar/Asphalt
or Rubber Surfaces: |
Seal
first with Super
Base (HS) at 30 sq.ft./gallon, then apply Supertherm.
Tar and asphalt will bleed oil residues into the coating, turning
it brown and interfering with the insulation ability of Supertherm
if not sealed first. Super
Base (HS) is water-based and, therefore, will not soften
or harm the tar/asphalt but will completely fill and seal all holes,
cracks and broken seams. |
|
| Flat
Roof Systems: |
Remove all loose gravel and power. wash. Watch for roofs with
consistent leaking; if present, push for roofing system #1 or
#2.
System
#1--Apply Super
Base (HS) at 30 sq.ft./gallon As you apply
Super Base (HS),
lay in the polyester membrane (36" width x 360' length) as you
go. Let dry and re-apply Super
Base (HS) over the membrane at 100 sq.ft./gallon. Let
dry, then apply Supertherm
at 100 sq.ft./gallon for the insulation; and last apply SP
Clear Protector at 250 sq.ft/gallon as a top coat.
Total mil thickness will be: Super Base
(HS)-21 mils, mesh-6 mils, SUPER BASE (HS 7 mils, Supertherm-7
mils, SP
Clear Protector-2 mils 43 mills.
System
#2 (solid roof, absolutely no leaks)--Apply
Super Base (HS)
at 30 sq.ft./gallon Apply Supertherm
at 100 sq.ft./gallon. Apply SP
Clear Protector at 250 sq.ft./gallon. Total
mil thickness: 30 mils
|
|
| Walls
(interior/exterior): |
Apply
Supertherm
at 100 sq. ft./gallon. |
|
| Tinting: |
Can
tint to any earth-tone colors. Not medium to dark tones.
Never tint to grey--the black tint will cover the ceramic particles
first and block their effectiveness. Best approach is to apply Supertherm
in 2 coats, let dry, then paint a colored paint over
the Supertherm
as your finishing coat |
|
| Acid/Salt-resistance: |
Will
withstand mild acids and salt spray. |
|
| High
humidity: |
After
Supertherm
dries cornpletely, no effect on coating. |
|
| UV/Weathering: |
Very
UV-stable, will withstand basic weathering for 20-25
years minimum |
|
| "R"
Factoring: |
We
have received test figures from informal tests and the "R" equivalent
is wide. Typical effectiveness is -R-
equivalent of 19
outside and on the inside. Examples of effectiveness are in the
notebook. |
|
| Application: |
Always
power wash substrate using a minimum of 3000 psi power washer to
clean dirt, oils, etc. Use washing powders in washing systems and
rinse well. |
