Heat-insulating paint is known to the modern consumer not so long ago. However, today she has found her admirers. Among other things, it can be very difficult to find a replacement for it, despite the fact that the cost of this product is quite high.
Manufacturers are constantly improving their products and making the material more attractive in terms of cost and quality for their consumers. The composition of these paints includes acrylic dispersion, fillers and additives, perlite, glass fiber, ceramic microgranules, foam glass and water. All this allows you to get a composition with the appropriate quality characteristics.
This paint can be applied to a surface with an average thickness of 4 mm. And this will be enough to replace the traditional thermal insulation of a few tens of millimeters. The technology for using paint is usually indicated on the packaging, each manufacturer should take care of this.
The composition of the paint allows it to be applied to the surface as evenly as possible and helps to insulate even the mosthard-to-reach places where it is not possible to strengthen the thermal insulation in the usual way, which, for example, concerns attics or corners of buildings.
The consistency of the compositions described in the article resembles a gray or white paste that can be tinted. Apply them best by spraying, this will ensure a uniform layer. By the way, the thicker the heat-insulating paint is applied, the longer its service life will be, which sometimes reaches 40 years.
Operating conditions are determined by the temperature regime. It is different for each composition, but on average it varies from -70 to +260 °С.
The main advantages of thermal insulation paints
The compositions described in the article are able to withstand high temperatures, they are resistant to sunlight and precipitation. The paint has a low heat transfer coefficient, as well as a high degree of adhesion to all known materials, so that thermal insulation can be applied even to hard-to-reach places.
After drying, the surface is durable, and when used, it does not require the preparation of special equipment. At the same time, it should be remembered that the layer of thermal insulation obtained has a high resistance to mechanical stress, but is characterized by a high degree of fire hazard.
Main Features
Heat-insulating paint differs from classic types of insulation. It can be used both inside and outside buildings. If carried outcompared with traditional materials that are designed for insulation, the paint has a liquid structure. Such materials are supplied in special containers. The technology of their application differs from the method of using traditional paints and varnishes and resembles painting work.
Liquid heaters are among the latest materials and have become widespread relatively recently. In addition to paint, you can find other types of liquid thermal insulation in the assortment of building materials, which is represented by penoizol. This is Corundum heat-insulating paint, which is sometimes replaced with liquid foam or polyurethane foam. A special tool is used to apply them.
The price of liquid thermal insulation is higher compared to simple paint, so you will have to pay a significant amount to insulate your home. Moreover, it is quite problematic to use such materials yourself, which means that the cost of the work should also be included in the price. For example, if you use penoizol, then the cost of the material is not very high, but the price of work on its application can be shocking. But if you delve into the possibilities of liquid thermal insulation, it can be noted that its use is justified, as it is an innovative material that fully fulfills its functions.
Main producers
Heat-insulating paint is known to the modern consumer by products of Russian, Ukrainian and German companies. Among the first can be identified: "Isollat", "Korund", "ALFATEK", "Armor". Whereas the mostwell-known companies for the production of insulating paints in Ukraine are: TSM Ceramic, Keramoizol, Thermosilat, Tezolat.
The first production of such material appeared before 2000 in Ukraine, so all products used today on construction sites in Russia are Ukrainian and domestic products. However, Thermo-Shield thermal insulation paint, which is made in Germany, can also be found on store shelves.
Reviews about the paint for thermal insulation brand "Isollat"
Liquid heat-insulating paint is produced by Isollat. This material is used to cover the facades, walls, and roofs of buildings, and, according to consumers, heat is retained inside with it quite effectively.
This composition can be used for boiler and industrial equipment, as well as for pipelines for various purposes. This includes metal structures. The operation of this mixture is possible at a wide range of temperatures, which vary from -60 to +500 °C. This provides not only heat, but also excellent sound insulation, as well as anti-corrosion protection. In addition, products will be protected from condensation.
Such thermal insulation wall paints are aqueous emulsion suspensions, which are developed on the basis of nanotechnology. According to the manufacturers, the composition is based on semi-ceramic microspheres,which are filled with rarefied air, saturating the polymeric liquid composition. Consumers note that the application of paint is easy to carry out with a sprayer or brush, and after drying, a durable polymer is formed on the base. This quality eliminates the overspending of the mixture, ensuring the uniformity of the coating. You can use paint for thermal insulation:
- pipelines;
- metal structures;
- facades;
- chimneys;
- roofs;
- technological equipment;
- valve;
- tanks;
- hangars;
- ventilation ducts;
- oil-producing equipment;
- interior.
