Comparing Insulative Systems-Oilfield Food Processing Example Projects

All types of insulation systems (conventional and radiation control coatings) have value; however, one does not necessarily replace the other.

Conventional insulation

Consists of mass insulation for protection of heat transfer by conduction. Insulation is applied to the perimeter, walls and ceiling of a building. Since heat travels from a hot to a colder environment, absorbed heat energy transfers into the building (day time temperatures are lower outside than the ambient air temperature). Ordinary construction materials absorb 90 to 95% of the heat from solar radiation. The thicker the mass insulation, the more resistance to energy transfers.

Ceramic Insulation Coatings

Our Ceramic Insulation coating prevent 90 to 95% of the energy from solar radiant energy ever penetrating the surface, due to its high reflectivity. The primary functions of Ceramic Coatings is to control radiant energy transfer. It's better to prevent than to cure. As a result, Ceramic Insulation Coatings has significantly cooler temperatures because it absorbs up to 85 to 90 % less heat.
