Super Therm® is a new evolutionary product in ceramic coating technology coming from NASA research. This water-based coating with a bearer mixture of active aliphatic urethanes, elastomer-acrylic plastic substances and quality resins also contains 4 thermoceramic elements. These ceramic particles (micro-balls) withstand high temperatures, repel and reject heat entry and are made from advanced material used also in manufacturing the thermo-insulating covering for Space Shuttles.
Super Therm® is a ceramic thermoinsulative coating with extreme performance in reflecting solar radiation (95%) and with the ability to simultaneously block the passage of unwanted excess heat.
Super Therm® is an effective means of cooling buildings, intended mainly for application to roofs or walls for the purpose of reducing buildings’ internal air temperatures and also reducing surface temperatures of the roofing materials and walls themselves.
Super Therm® is a coating with a unique composition: It contains 4 different ceramic membranes which act against all types of heat transmission. Most of the ceramic coatings available contain only one reflective ceramic membrane.
Super Therm® is the first ceramic coating on the market developed in collaboration with NASA.
Super Therm® is the first ceramic coating to be rated an insulator (insulative material) by BOCA (the US National Building Code).
Super Therm® is, worldwide, the most effective thermal insulative coating intended for the protection of walls against overheating.
Super Therm® is a relatively thin coating with the thickness of a business card and outperformed 20 cm of classical batt insulation in tests.
Super Therm® is the highest-certified coating on the planet. It was subjected to the largest number of certification tests both in labs and in practice, the parameters of which it either met or dramatically outperformed.
Super Therm® is a universal multipurpose surface treatment for roofing, facades and other construction.
Super Therm® is a highly-durable coating substance, being among those with the longest lifespans.
Super Therm® is a good acoustic insulator. It repels up to 68% of sound waves.
Super Therm® is at present the most advanced coating of its type and offers the quickest return on investment thanks to high energy saving realized after application.
Super Therm® acts as a radiation barrier, a highly-efficient reflector of radiation and simultaneously a fine thermal insulator.
Super Therm® operates on the basis of the unique properties of its four types of ceramic components (thermoceramic membranes):
- With the help of the first and second ceramic elements it repels ultraviolet (UV) and visible light rays (high-frequency radiation).
- Third ceramic element repels and blocks the transmission of infrared radiation (low-frequency radiation).
- The fourth, vacuum ceramic, forms a near-vacuum space which protects against residual heat transfer not blocked by the coating.
1. Super Therm® has a high capability to repel radiant heat, thereby blocking transfer on average of 95% of the heat load created as a result of all three types of radiation:
- Ultraviolet radiation (UV) represents 3% of the heat load. Super Therm® blocks up to 99% of UV radiation.
- Visible light (high-frequency radiation) represents 40% of the heat load. Super Therm® blocks up to 92% of visible light radiation.
- Infrared radiation (IR) (low-frequency radiation) represents 57% of the heat load. Super Therm® blocks up to 99% of IR radiation.
2. Super Therm® has the ability to also guard against the transfer of non-reflected heat. The ceramic is not formed into the thick, irregular shapes used in ordinary ceramic coatings. Super Therm® ceramic membranes are comprised of regular, spherical microscopic particles. The spherical form enables the ceramic to fit very closely together and thus prevents airflow through the structure.
Heat is transferred to the underlayer in three ways: Radiation, convection and conduction:
- Radiation – repels 95% of radiant energy.
- Convection – protects against the entry of air currents into the structure.
- Conduction – vacuum ceramic protects against conductive heat transfer.
Super Therm® blocks all three modes of undesired heating.
3. Super Therm® additionally has high emissivity, allowing it to shed excess heat which was able to remain on its surface. The Super Therm® coating’s emissivity value is up to 0.91.
