FAQ
We specialize in two core products—Reflective Thermal Coatings and Thermal Insulation Coatings—each designed to solve different energy-saving challenges.
Our reflective coatings significantly reduce surface temperature by blocking solar radiation, while our insulation coatings minimize heat transfer to improve equipment efficiency and safety.
With strong weather resistance, easy application, and proven energy-saving performance, our products are widely used in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects.
We provide stable global supply, professional technical support, and high-quality solutions tailored to your needs.
Precautions for Applying Thermal Insulation Coatings?
Precautions during the application of thermal insulation coatings:
Surface Preparation:
Clean the Surface: Before application, ensure the surface is clean, free of oil, dust, rust, and other impurities. Use appropriate cleaners or solvents to ensure proper adhesion of the coating.
Surface Treatment: For metal surfaces, rust removal or a primer coat may be necessary to improve adhesion.
Mixing the Coating:
Thoroughly mix the thermal insulation coating before use to ensure uniform consistency and avoid sedimentation or uneven coating.
If necessary, the coating may need to be diluted. Use the recommended thinner and mix according to the specified ratio.
Environmental Conditions:
Temperature and Humidity: Ensure that the temperature and humidity in the application area are within the suitable range, typically between 10°C and 35°C. High or low humidity can affect drying time and adhesion.
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in the application area, especially when spraying or brushing, to facilitate drying and reduce the accumulation of harmful fumes.
Application Method:
Select the appropriate application method (spraying, rolling, brushing, etc.) depending on the surface and environment to ensure even coverage without missed spots.
During spraying, maintain a proper distance between the spray gun and the surface, moving the gun evenly to avoid over-thick or over-thin layers.
Coating Thickness:
The thickness of the insulation coating should follow the product’s specifications. A layer that is too thin may not achieve the desired insulation effect, while a layer that is too thick may lead to cracking or peeling.
It’s recommended to apply in layers, allowing the first layer to dry before applying a second layer.
Drying and Curing:
The drying and curing time should strictly follow the product’s instructions. Premature second coating or exposure to moisture may result in unsatisfactory coating performance.
Ensure the coating remains undisturbed during the drying process and is not exposed to water or other chemicals before fully cured.
Safety Protection:
When using thermal insulation coatings, especially during spraying or high-pressure spraying, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective goggles, masks, gloves, and protective clothing should be worn to prevent inhalation of mist particles and skin contact.
Ensure the application area adheres to safety standards, avoiding fire sources, heat sources, or other hazardous materials, particularly when using flammable materials.
Storage and Transport:
Unused coatings should be stored as per the product’s instructions to prevent quality deterioration from high or low temperatures.
Ensure that containers are sealed properly to prevent the coating from drying out or becoming contaminated.
By following these precautions, the thermal insulation coating can achieve optimal performance during application, extend its service life, and enhance its insulation properties.
What is the application method for reflective insulation coatings?
The application methods for reflective thermal coatings are typically as follows:
Spraying: Spraying is the most common application method, suitable for large areas. A spray gun is used to evenly apply the reflective thermal coating to the surface, covering irregularly shaped areas. This method provides a uniform coating with strong adhesion and is ideal for large equipment, pipes, and roofs.
Rolling: Rolling is suitable for smaller or medium-sized areas. A roller is used to evenly apply the coating to smooth surfaces, such as walls and floors. This method works well for flat, even surfaces.
Brushing: Brushing is typically used for smaller or more detailed areas, such as corners or irregularly shaped surfaces. This method allows for precise control over the amount of coating applied and ensures uniform coverage.
Roller Coating (or High-Pressure Application): Roller coating or high-pressure application is suitable for industrial pipes and large equipment. The coating is applied through high-pressure equipment, providing excellent coverage and is ideal for areas requiring high-performance thermal insulation.
Dipping: Dipping is used in specific cases where the item to be coated is fully immersed in the reflective thermal coating. This method ensures uniform coverage and is ideal for metal parts and other specific materials.
Application of Reflective Thermal Insulation Coating on Industrial Storage Tanks
Reflective thermal insulation coatings are widely used on industrial storage tanks to reduce heat absorption, improve energy efficiency, and enhance equipment safety. By reflecting a large portion of solar radiation, the coating effectively lowers the surface temperature of storage tanks exposed to sunlight, helping industries achieve significant energy savings.
Typical Application Areas
Reflective thermal insulation coatings are suitable for various tank types, including:
•Oil and fuel storage tanks
•Chemical and solvent tanks
•Water storage tanks
•LNG/LPG tank exterior surfaces
•Food and pharmaceutical liquid tanks
•Cement and bulk material silos
The coating is compatible with both metal and concrete tank surfaces.
