Heat-insulating paint: characteristics and reviews about producers

Paint heat insulation is known to the modern consumer not so long ago. However, today she has found her admirers. Among other things, it can be replaced very difficult, despite the fact that the cost of this product is quite high.

Manufacturers constantly improve their products and make the material more attractive in terms of cost and quality for their consumers. These paints include acrylic dispersion, fillers and additives, perlite, fiberglass, ceramic microgranules, foam glass and water. All this makes it possible to obtain a composition with corresponding qualitative characteristics.

Such a paint can be applied to the surface of a thickness, on average, within 4 mm. And this will be enough to replace the traditional thermal insulation in a few tens of millimeters. The technology of the use of paint, as a rule, is indicated on the packaging, every manufacturer must 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 most inaccessible places where it is not possible to strengthen the insulation in the usual way, such as for lofts or corners of buildings.

According to the consistency, the compositions described in the article resemble 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 a layer of heat-insulating paint is applied, the longer the service life will be, which sometimes reaches 40 years.

Operating conditions are determined by the temperature regime. For each composition it is different, but on the average it varies from -70 to +260 ° C.

Main advantages of heat-insulating paints

The compositions described in the article are able to undergo the action of high temperatures, they are resistant to sunlight and precipitation. The paint has a low coefficient of heat transfer, as well as a high degree of adhesion to all known materials, so that thermal insulation can be applied even in hard-to-reach places.

After drying, the surface is durable, and when used does not provide for the preparation of special equipment. It should be remembered at the same time that the layer of the obtained thermal insulation has a high resistance to mechanical loads, but it has a high degree of fire hazard.

Key Features

Heat-insulating paint differs from classic types of insulation. It can be used both inside and outside buildings. If you compare with traditional materials that are intended for insulation, the paint has a liquid structure. Such materials are delivered in special containers. The technology of their application differs from the technique of using traditional paint materials and resembles painting works.

Liquid heaters refer to the latest materials and are widely used relatively recently. In addition to paint, you can find in the range of building materials and other types of liquid insulation, which is represented by penoizolom. This is a heat-insulating paint "Corundum", which is sometimes replaced by a liquid foam or polyurethane foam. For their application, a special tool is used.

The price of a liquid thermal insulation is higher than a simple paint, so you will have to pay a significant amount for the insulation of the house. And most use of such materials is quite problematic, which means that the cost of works should be included in the cost. For example, if you use penoizol, the cost of the material is not very high, but the price of work on its application can be shocking. But if you look at the possibility of liquid heat insulation, then it can be noted that its use is justified, as it is an innovative material that fully fulfills its functions.
