The light reflective paint (IRPOL) is an insulator made from unique ceramic nanocomposite formulations, water-based. This light reflective paint contains very low amounts of volatile substances and combines anti-corrosion, insulating, and anti-condensation properties. This single-component insulator is easy to use in various applications.
The thermal insulating paint from Ista Polymer Sharif is mass-produced using the latest nanotechnology. The mechanism of thermal insulating paint works by reducing the rate of heat transfer through the entrapment of a large volume of air within the nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity of IRPOL coatings is around 0.035 watts per meter Kelvin.
What is Thermal Insulating Paint?
Light reflective paint, also known as thermal insulating paint, consists of two main components. The primary component is nanoparticles that minimize thermal conductivity by trapping air. The second component of the thermal insulating paint is acrylic-based resins. The combination of these materials results in light reflective and insulating paints that can be used for both cold and hot insulation.
Applications of Thermal Insulating Paints
Light reflective paint used as thermal insulating paint can be applied in various locations, including:
- Thermal insulating paint for use in commercial and residential buildings
- Thermal insulating paint for industrial equipment
- Thermal insulating paint (light reflective paint) for use in tanks
- Thermal insulation for pipelines and equipment in chemical plants and water treatment facilities
- Insulation for high-temperature industrial equipment
- Anti-absorptive thermal insulation and light reflective paint
- Cold and heat insulating paint for walls and other surfaces
Advantages of the Multifunctional IRPOL Insulating Coating
The light reflective insulating coatings offer many benefits, including:
- Low thermal conductivity
- No condensation buildup under the insulation surface (prevents corrosion underneath)
- High chemical and corrosion resistance of the thermal insulating paint
- Sound dampening
- Cost-effective over a long period with a short return on investment
- Easy application of thermal insulating paint
- Easy to apply on surfaces using rollers or spray
- Can be applied while the equipment is in service
- Single-component nature of the thermal insulating paint reduces drying and application time
- Ability to apply on equipment with complex geometry
