Reflective Thermal Insulation Coatings

It is a special coating composed of a binder and filler in the form of hollow glass microspheres with a vacuum of several microns. It is designed to reflect thermal radiation and reduce heat transfer through the surfaces of buildings and technological equipment. Unlike conventional insulation, which only slows down heat with its thickness, this coating uses the principle of reflection to keep heat inside in winter and prevent overheating in summer.

They work primarily on the principle of radiant heat reflection. Thanks to their composition, they can reflect more than 97.75% of thermal radiation (TSR). The coating absorbs the rest of the radiation, but thanks to its microsphere content, it has very low thermal conductivity, which prevents further heat transfer. The microspheres ensure high reflectivity in both the visible and near-infrared spectrum. Outdoors, the coatings work on the principle of reflection, whereby all solar (thermal) radiation is reflected back into the atmosphere, and our coatings have the highest SRI value of 107.3.

TSR (Total Solar Reflectance) is the total reflectivity of solar radiation. It is expressed as a percentage (0–100%) and measures how much solar radiation a surface reflects. The higher the percentage, the more effectively the surface reflects solar energy. Our coatings have measured values of 97.75%.

The coatings contain a high percentage of microspheres, which are significantly lighter than the dispersion in which they are coated. The more microspheres the coating contains, the better its reflective and insulating properties. That is why one liter of this coating weighs only about half a kilogram.
