1 mm of NANO MATERIALS = 50 mm Conventional Insulants


★ reduces heat loss

★ averts frost penetration and formation of condensate and mold

★ protects from corrosion

★ protects from overheat

 

WHAT IS NANO MATERIALS

- this is ultrafine liquid thermal insulation;

- contains unique ceramic and silicon microspheres which have incredibly low thermal conductivity rate;

- due to liquid consistence it can be applied by brush, roller or spray gun on surfaces of any shape and structure in the most hard-to-reach places;

- as for the cost of operations it saves 25% - 40% in comparison with conventional insulants, and as for the terms of operations – savings are several times more!

- 1mm of NANO MATERIALS has the same efficiency as 5cm of traditional mineral wool insulants, that’s why its use from internal side does not reduce usable space of premises;

- can be applied at any surfaces – metal, concrete, brick, plaster, plastic, glass, wood, etc.;

- forms flexible polymer water proof surfaces;

- resistant to drops in temperature and ultraviolet rays;

- its service life is several times longer than of traditional insulants;

- it has high durability, resistant to mechanical effects and does not require additional coating layer for thermal insulation of pipelines or protective plastering for thermal insulation of building structures;

- due to high flexibility it is resistant to dynamic effects (blows, mechanical pressure etc.);

- in case of mechanic damages it is easy to recover, while conventional types of thermal insulation materials require dismantling of dozens of square meters of insulation;

- can be applied at temperatures from - 60℃ to +250 ℃ , this provides its use in places where foamed polyurethane and other “foam” materials cannot be used;

- can be applied on surfaces with temperatures +7 ℃ …+150℃ , which allows carrying out work with no downtime;

- easy to use (does not require additional specialists), which provides additional savings;

- environmentally friendly, does not require additional ventilation during operation;

- not flammable, that’s why it can be applied at hazardous facilities;

- supplied in white color, but can be tinted to any color and the aesthetic view is equal to any other paint;

- contains only environmentally friendly components, that’s why it can be applied inside the premises as well, including catering establishments and child welfare institutions;

- ready NANO MATERIALS coating cannot be damaged or stolen.

 

HISTORY OF NANO MATERIALS FORMATION

Liquid ceramic thermal insulator (LCTI) owes its creation to the space!

Way back in the 1970s space exploration scientists in the USA and the USSR worked on creating materials for outer coating of reusable space shuttles (Shuttle in the USA, and Buran in the USSR ).

Ceramics is known to be material which can resist temperature over +1000 ℃ , however mounting and maintenance of ceramic sheets which were firstly planned to be used for coating of space vehicles, turned out to be not quite producible procedure.

As alternative for ceramic sheets, technology of producing ceramic vacuumized microspheres was developed. They could become a lightweight, producible and unique thermal insulation material being a part of special mastic or paint.

In the course of time such liquid thermal insulation materials became widely used in the USA and other countries of the world and later in Russia as well.

Thus the specialists cooperating with leading academic institutes of Russia, have been developing and advancing liquid ceramic thermal insulators and implementing this most progressive technology into construction, industry and heat power engineering for many years.

Having implemented thermal insulation actions at tens of living and industrial buildings, facilities of fuel and energy complex, petrol industry and many others, we can certainly declare that liquid ceramic thermal insulators are the present and the future of energy saving technologies.

 

PRINCIPLE OF NANO MATERIALS OPERATION

First of all – thermal conductivity coefficient of NANO MATERIALS ultrafine thermal insulation coatings is 0.001…0.0015W/m*С˚.

Many people will not believe these figures, because thermal conductivity coefficient of the air is 23 times higher!

Yes, we absolutely agree – however even such fine thermal insulator as air has thermal protection rate ten times worse than NANO MATERIALS !

But unique properties of NANO MATERIALS result from its complex structure.

NANO MATERIALS consists for 80% from ceramic and silicone microspheres with diameter of 10-30μm and 50-80µm respectively, and for 20% from mixture of acrylic cohesive and special additives.

Hollow silicone microspheres located in acrylic composition in suspension turn to be "besieged" by hollow ceramic microspheres with rarefied air inside. As a result substance is formed consisting of special clusters each one of which is hollow silicone microsphere, besieged by several vacuumized ceramic microspheres.

Such structure is necessary so that NANO MATERIALS composition could operate as a multilayer thermos, which has rarefied air as layers. Ceramic microspheres have high reflecting power, and silicone microspheres form finest layer between them. Thus 1mm thick 1m2 of NANO MATERIALS surface reflects the same volume of infrared light as 50 m2 of special foil with cells from rarefied air between layers.

It is known from the course of physics that the air is the best thermal insulator on Earth because air has the least density and the lowest thermal conductivity coefficient (thermal conductivity of the air is 0.023...026 W/m*С˚).

But if the air is rarefied so that its condition is close to vacuum, its thermal conductivity increases sufficiently.

Precisely this condition of the air is reached inside ceramic microspheres. Thermal conductivity of ceramic microspheres is specified in the guide “Physical Quantities. The Guide”, “Energoizdat”, Moscow, 1991.

According to the aforesaid guide thermal conductivity coefficient of ceramic microspheres with diameter of 10-30 µm is equal to 0.00083 W/m*С˚.

And NANO MATERIALS materials consist of these microspheres for 75-85%.

Due to high efficiency of materials in respect of both heat transmission methods at the same time, NANO MATERIALS liquid ceramic thermal insulation coatings have thermal conductivity coefficient much lower than the air.

Thermal conductivity coefficient of NANO MATERIALS liquid thermal insulator is 0.0011 W/m*С˚, which is 23 times less than thermal conductivity coefficient of the air!
