Thermal Insulative Coating (TIC) vs Heat Resistive Paint

Thermal insulation coating (TIC) paint is designed to reduce heat transfer and lower surface temperature by using low-thermal-conductivity fillers and is applied as a thick, high-build layer. In contrast, heat-resistive paint is formulated to withstand high temperatures without degradation but is typically thin and provides little or no thermal insulation.

Recent development in heat insulating research

Conventional heat insulating materials like expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foams or mineral wool are low cost and lightweight but high flammability. Other non-flammable insulating materials like fiberglass, rockwool and glass wool are heavy and … [Continue reading]

Aerogel : new lightweight composite materials

Lightweight-thermal insulation composites were prepared using unsaturated polyester resin and silica aerogel. Preservation of pores in the aerogel was achieved by modification of the silica aerogel into closed pores, core-shell structure. … [Continue reading]
