Moisture insulation paint is used for a wide range of building and industrial equipment. These moisture-resistant coatings are among the products of Ista Polymer Sharif. You have probably witnessed moisture damage to pipes, roofs, tanks, and other areas multiple times. This moisture can cause major issues like corrosion, mold growth, and more. Most people, when faced with this problem, want to get rid of and stop the condensation and moisture as soon as possible.
You can solve the problem of dampness and moisture, especially in humid areas where this happens more frequently, by using this coating. This problem also exists in industry and is more challenging to solve. At Ista Polymer Sharif, we manufacture and coat water tanks to address this issue, and you can read the related article. First, we want to explain why moisture occurs and causes damage to various equipment.
Causes of Moisture
In general, when the surface temperature drops below the dew point, condensation gradually starts, and water vapor is released near the surface. To explain with an example, suppose you are in an area where the dew point temperature is 60°F, and the water pipe inside has a temperature of 40°F. The pipe will start to sweat because its temperature is below the dew point. Therefore, to prevent problems caused by moisture, moisture insulation paint is used. Moisture causes pipes to gradually corrode, and the mold formed can endanger human health.

Applications of Moisture Insulation Paint
It is important to know that this paint creates a coating that repels moisture and is resistant to mold. It is also used as an anti-rust coating. It can be used on the exterior surfaces of buildings and reduces water condensation. When applied, it ensures that the area under the coating does not corrode. Another important point is that it can be easily used on irregular surfaces. You can visit Ista Polymer Sharif to take advantage of the services related to this coating.
Application Method of Moisture Insulation Paint
Ista Polymer Sharif is one of the companies that implement moisture insulation paint projects using its products. For applying moisture insulation paint, first clean and dry the surfaces, ensuring they are free of dust and have a minimum moisture content of 7%. This process significantly affects the paint’s properties. Shake the paint can well, then use a brush, spray gun, or roller to paint according to the surface. The required drying temperature is between 5 to 40°C. Low temperatures cause slow drying, and high temperatures cause quick drying. Additionally, moisture can change the paint’s appearance. If necessary, you can apply two layers of paint.
