HOT SURFACE COATING is a ceramic based, water-borne insulator designed to insulate in medium temperature situations. HOT SURFACE COATING can be used as a base coat/primer or it can be built up layers for additional protection. HOT SURFACE COATING is specifically engineered to control hot surface temperatures up to 177 oC.
WHAT SOLUTION DOES THIS OFFER YOU?
HOT SURFACE COATING can be applied over metal, concrete, wood or all surfaces not glazed or containing polypropylene (having no pores)
HOT SURFACE COATING is easy to apply over standard steam pipes, oven wall constructions and other hot surfaces
HOT SURFACE COATING can be applied to situations where a shut down or drop in temperature is not possible during application
HOT SURFACE COATING was designed for applications whose temperature exposures falls below that which requires HOT PIPE COATING
BENEFITS
HOT SURFACE COATING is easy to apply directly to hot pipes
HOT SURFACE COATING immediately reduces surface temperature and loss of heat
HOT SURFACE COATING does not absorb moisture or lose insulation value
HOT SURFACE COATING is safe, non-flammable and non-toxic
HOT SURFACE COATING can be brushed, rolled or sprayed over any configuration
HOT SURFACE COATING is lightweight and smooth in appearance
HOT SURFACE COATING IS USDA approved
HOT SURFACE COATING is a water-borne system using a special acrylic blend with specific ceramic compounds to provide the non-conductive block against heat transfer without depending upon reflectivity. The coating will dry down on a cold surface by evaporation and can be aided in the dry down by adding heat to the environment. If the surface is already heated, the dry-down process will take care of itself without additional steps required.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The HOT SURFACE COATING insulation method is very different to the traditional wrap insulation materials that only slow down the loss of heat (known as an R-rating or heat transfer ). The seven ceramic compounds in the HOT SURFACE COATING create a barrier to catch and hold heat on the surface of the unit, e.g. pipe, furnace surface, boiler, etc.
Unlike wraps that use air as the insulation component, the ceramic compounds in the HOT SURFACE COATING resist absorbing heat trying to come off the surface to escape. This traps and holds the heat onto the surface for more effective insulation performance.
HOT SURFACE COATINGTM TECHNICAL SHEET
DESCRIPTION
HOT SURFACE COATING is designed to control heat transfer on surface temperatures up to 350 F degrees (176oC). It is water-borne, and extremely lightweight and smooth in appearance. HOT SURFACE COATING uses a special acrylic resin blend with specific ceramic compounds added to provide a non-conductive block against heat transfer. HOT SURFACE COATING offers a Green , non-flammable, nontoxic formula for medium heat surface applications over standard steam pipe or oven wall construction. The coating was originally designed for hot applications where temperature exposures fall below those that would require the use of HOT PIPE COATING. HOT SURFACE COATING is more easily applied for a smooth finish. It can be applied over metal, concrete, wood, and other substrates. TYPICAL USES
As an insulation system over hot pipes, tanks, and valves
To block heat migration into cold tanks, lines, and valves
Easily applied when a hot system cannot be shut down
APPLICATION METHOD
HOT SURFACE COATING should be used for applications 350 F degrees (176oC) or lower. Apply HOT PIPE COATING for applications between 350 F degrees (176oC) and 700 F degrees (371oC). HOT SURFACE COATING can be applied to metal, concrete, masonry and wood. The application can be by spray, brush or roller. For specific instructions on surface preparation, mixing and application, please refer to the SPE Application Instruction sheet for HOT SURFACE COATING. If HOT SURFACE COATING is applied on surfaces outdoors, you must overcoat the HOT SURFACE COATING with SUPER THERM, RUST GRIP, ENDUROOF or ENAMO GRIP according to what is needed (please contact SPE for further instructions). It cannot be left uncoated and left exposed to weather conditions. It is light-weight to insulate, which leaves it vulnerable to weather conditions.
NOTE: In situations where there is continuous cycles causing movement, and/or risk of contraction and/or expansion, or regular handling of the pipe is unavoidable, please contact SPE for further instructions to support the application of HOT SURFACE COATING. TESTS AND CERTIFICATIONS
