Composition and scope of thermal insulation paints

The composition of the heat -color involves the presence of water, fillers, acrylic dispersion and additives in the form of fiberglass, perlite, foam glass or ceramic microspheres. The paint lies on the surface with a rather thick layer of 2-4 mm, which perfectly replaces several millimeters of traditional insulation. The advantage in the use of heat -insulating paint is a uniform distribution over the entire surface. Thanks to this, it is easier to insulate relief and poorly accessible objects than using traditional insulation.

In the consistency of heat -colored, they resemble a thick paste that has white or gray. Therefore, it is easier to apply heat -painting with a sprayer, for uniform distribution over the entire area.

The quality of thermal protection depends on how thick the paint layer is applied to the surface. The operational period of heat -colored is from 12 to 40 years. In heat -insulating paint, temperature characteristics are quite extensive from -70C to +260C.

The scope of the heat -shielding colors:

• insulation of facades of houses;
• protection of pipes from freezing;
• insulation of the gas pipeline, steam pipeline, water supply and air conditioning systems;
• thermal insulation of internal and external walls, roofs, ceilings;
• Car insulation;
• protection of boilers from heat loss;
• insulation of basements;
• protection of metal structures from heat loss;
• agricultural production;
• insulation of tanks, tanks and other containers;
• insulation of industrial equipment.

The scope of heat -insulating paints is quite wide, and is able to compete with traditional heat -insulating materials.

Advantages of using thermal insulation paint:

• heat resistance, resistance to atmospheric precipitation;
• resistance before exposure to ultraviolet radiation;
• the presence of a low thermal conductivity coefficient;
• Durability, with the correct application, the operational period is from 12 to 40 years;
• high level of adhesion;
• water resistance and anti -corrosion;
• For thermal insulation work, it is not required to make large physical and material efforts;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• high level of fire safety;
• The use of hard -to -reach places for thermal insulation.

Functional features of heat -saving paint

Thermal insulation paints have a wide range of functional features:

1. Protective function - protection of objects from heat loss, protection against cold penetration, prevention of corrosion, moisture, mold and fungus.

2. Strengthening stained products - paint not only protects the coating from various factors, and also extends the operational period of the painted product.

3. Heat saving is the main function of thermal insulation paint. Electroenergy savings will save money.

4. Environmental friendliness - heat painters do not secrete harmful substances and are harmless to health.

Varieties of heat -insulating paints

1. In composition, thermal insulation paints are divided into:

• water -based heat -insulating paints;
• Acrylic -based heat -insulating paints.

2. The object of application is highlighted:

• Thermal insulation paints for walls are suitable for thermal insulation of internal and external walls, ceilings and floor;
• Thermal insulation paint for pipes is used to paint water pipelines, gas pipelines, ventilation and air conditioning systems;
• Facade paint thermal insulation - is suitable only for external work, has heat resistance and moisture resistance.

Basic tips for choosing thermal insulation paint

• Decide on the functional load of thermal insulation paint;
• Calculate the required amount of material;
• Select several paint manufacturers, learn about the composition, differences, advantages and disadvantages of each of them;
• Select the type of paint: for external or internal work;
• For the facade, choose paint with minimal water resistance and maximum vapor permeability;
• When choosing paint for work indoors, check out the composition, and make sure that there are no harmful and toxic components;

• Pipe paint should have maximum heat resistance;
• When staining large rooms or objects, use a sprayer or compressor for uniform distribution of paint;
• For staining small areas, a brush or roller is suitable;
• To ensure persistent thermal insulation, apply paint in two or three layers.

Calculation of the number of heat -insulating paint

To determine the heat -insulating paint of flow, it is necessary to take into account some points:

• Coating type: concrete, expanded clay, foam concrete, wood, brick, metal;
• relief or flat surface;
• layer thickness;
• the total area of \u200b\u200bthe alleged coating;
• type and structure of paint;
• wall roughness;
• for pipes - the diameter of the pipeline;
• weather;
• The method of applying paint to the surface.

For concrete, brick and wooden surfaces, the overspending of the paint is 5-1 ° %, and for metal - from 3 to 6 %. The area of \u200b\u200beven surfaces is easy to determine, but if the surface is embossed or rough should increase the volume of paint by 15-35 %.

When applying paint outside the room in calm weather, the consumption decreases by 2-3 %. The average paint consumption per 1 square meter, with a layer thickness of 1 mm, is 1 liter.

For concrete walls, the recommended layer of application is 1.5 mm, for brick, foam concrete and expanded clay walls - 2.5 mm, for a wooden room - 2 mm, and for metal walls - 2.5 mm. Accordingly, the thicker the layer of application, the higher the consumption of the material.

The main manufacturers of thermal insulation paints

It is possible to buy heat -insulating paint in any construction market or in a store. Consider the main manufacturers of thermal insulation colors:

1. Thermal insulation paint is corundure - presents various options for thermal insulation paints.
