Common Uses For ThermaCote® Ceramic Coating
Use ThermaCote® to help seal the “Envelope” of any residential or commercial structure to minimize the loss of energy through the structure. ThermaCote® on the roof (including covering existing shingles) repels the radiant energy of the sun and dramatically lowers the roof and attic temperatures and decreases the heat island affect of dark roofs. Add ThermaCote® to both the interior and exterior walls of a building to improve the building “sealant” quotient, reduce and/or eliminate Thermal Bridges and enhance the effectiveness of base load insulation; Coat any exposed piping to keep the heat in, ensure protection from over exposure and to eliminate condensation.
ThermaCote® Solutions:
Apply ThermaCote® to modular classrooms, mobile homes, primer/topcoat on sheetrock plastic concrete steel and wood, HVAC ductwork storage tanks, silos, R/V and camper tops, cars trucks buses, glass, skylights, steel beams and framing for control of hot/cold transmission into interiors.
Other uses have included: railroad cars, boat interior hulls, race cars, and other various uses for control of corrosion, condensation, and heat retention… anywhere hot or cold present themselves as a problem to be solved.
ThermaCote® is especially effective when used for:
- roofs
- walls
- interiors
- exteriors
- coolers
- refrigerated trailers
- boiler tanks
- pipes
… and anywhere heat containment or build-up causes discomfort or high cooling costs.
Use over any of the following properly prepared surfaces:
- wood
- metal
- fiberglass
- rubber
- asphalt shingle
- plastic
- masonry finishes

Request for Information
I am doing a study of Insulative Coatings, to determine acceptable suppliers for our projects.
I have listed applicable standards, both regarding thermal characteristics and physical properties. Some of these are overlapping, so only one would be used.
Also, in some cases, the standards applies to insulation materials and does not apply directly to a coating, however, testing another material with and without coating will allow calculations of properties.
I have pasted my list into this e-mail. Please indicated to which standard, your coating have been tested and where calculated results are used, how to these results were arrived.
If other standard, such as ISO were used, please indicate so. I did look at your literature, but did not find reference standards listed.
