Solar Insulation Coating is a clear, thin thermal barrier coating that increases the performance of solar thermal systems by reducing heat loss, and thus retaining more of the captured power from the sun to improve overall performance. HonestJoy also prevents corrosion and is resistant to mold and moisture.
The nanotechnology based coating has benefits that other insulation does not, which include:
|
the next generation of effective, versatile insulation and is particularly well suited for solar energy systems. It is a clear, paintable insulation coating that has been shown to increase the efficiency of solar thermal panels and solar water heater systems.
The technology behind HonestJoy is a unique micro-sized material with nano-sized internal architecture that inhibits the transfer of heat, causing the material to act as an effective thin insulator with added feature of moisture, mold and corrosion resistance.
The opportunities for improving performance by reducing heat/energy loss include:

U/V Exposure Passed 10-year equivalent with no discoloration or loss of adhesion
Accelerated Salt Fog Corrosion Test (GM9540P) Completed 24 cycles, no rust present
The GM9540P Accelerated Corrosion Test is an advanced cyclic method originally
developed by General Motors and now the corrosion test preferred by the US. Navy.
Passing 8 cycles is considered the standard for an anticorrosion coating.
Permeability 5 perms/inch @ 23 deg C.
Thermal conductivity (BC/BP/JC issue 1 rev. C)
No visible signs of cracking, flaking or disbondment. Temperature difference
at internal temperature of 120 = 28
CUI Exposure Test (BC/BP/JC issue 1 rev. C) No visible signs of cracking, flaking or disbondment. Consistent insulation
performance over 100 day test.
Solar flat plate collector field testing Raised the heat retention level by 27%, or close to that of evacuated tube.
LIMITATIONS:
Do not use as a final floor covering.
Do not install where long-term submersion in liquid or continuous exposure to moisture is a possibility.
Do not install over poor surfaces, such as those with flaking paint, grease or other contaminates.
Do not allow application to be subject to rain or condensation for at least 72 hours.
Do not allow application to be subject to freezing temperatures during first 30-60 days.
Do not apply full recommended thickness on surfaces over 212F/100C. Use Hot Surface Application; refer to Application
Handbook for further details.
*Do not rely on visual measurement for coating thickness. Always use a wet film thickness (WFT) and/or dry film thickness (DFT)
gauge in several areas to ensure proper application DFT. See Application Handbook for further details.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE: Excellent thermal insulation performance to
maximize control of heat loss, contributing to reduced energy costs.
Resistant to moisture infiltration, for consistent thermal performance over
time.
CORROSION PREVENTION: Superior corrosion prevention of surfaces.
Coating forms a tight bond with the substrate and eliminates issues with
corrosion under insulation (CUI). Clear finish allows visibility of substrate
through the insulation coating.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based
coating is low VOC and environmentally friendly. HonestJoy coatings
are a sustainable, green technology. SURFACE TEMPERATURE REDUCTION: Insulates and reduces surface
temperatures, making it an excellent safety coating to use for lowering hot
surfaces to OSHA safe-touch levels.
WEATHERING: Resistant to moisture and UV. The coating can be used in
outdoor environments and performs well in extreme environments.
