ASTM C236: For R Value with Fiberglass Batt insulation (pdf - 1,500kb)
R19.3 and R28.5 Rating given to Supertherm in a test by VTEC Laboratories. Supertherm proved to be 240% better than fiberglass insulation in a test designed to favor fiberglass. Fiberglass Batt insulation is only tested at 70F and with no moisture in order to give it's highest rating. Supertherm performs equaly from -50 to 300F and is never affected by moisture.

US Navy Testing and Approval, SP 2001F , High-Temperature Insulative Coating. SP2001F protects aluminium from melting. Rust Grip rating at 6750 psi surface tensile strengh (harder than concrete on some surface metals). Epoxotherm used to prevent condensation air ducting throughout ship. Sound dampened by 68% on hulls of ships. Use of Supertherm or Hot Surface Coating in the engine room to hide heat signature from being detected by enemy missiles. This means a missile with heat seeking capabilities cannot hit the heart of a ship.
