Thermal insulation polymer coating ASTRATEK metal

Features of the

This innovative thermal insulator creates a barrier to energy conservation when insulating a building. By the method of application, it is similar to conventional coloring compositions. As a result of polymerization of the composition, a matte elastic coating is formed, endowed with special thermophysical properties. It is it that becomes the barrier that easily tolerates temperature changes and does not allow heat to come out.

The insulation includes the following components:

• filler (microscopic balls made of glass, ceramics, polymers, filled with rarefied air);
• a binder (most often acrylic or latex);
• additives.

Depending on the composition, the properties of the liquid insulator, the requirements for the base to be treated, and the application technology change.

One of the most effective materials is Astratek liquid thermal insulation.

Varieties of thermal insulation Astratek and application technology

Astratek can be easily sprayed with a spray bottle.

The price of thermal insulation does not differ much, but there are nuances in the composition that should be considered before use. First you need to familiarize yourself with the types of liquid thermal insulation of Astratek, reviews of which only push you to purchase this material for protection. Varieties:

• facade;
• metal;
• decor acoustics;
• station wagon.

"Facade" is used for insulation of apartments or private houses, for wall cladding outside and inside. It is used for walls and facades of buildings that are characterized by high humidity. Also used on any plastered surface. Earlier, we have already talked about how to independently insulate the facade of a house.

In rooms with high humidity, it is recommended to use Astratek Metal, which perfectly protects against corrosion.

Liquid insulation Astratek decor-acoustic has a special feature - it absorbs and scatters sound waves by almost 40%. This type is used mainly for interior wall decoration. Astratek universal is suitable for insulating any surface: wood, metal, concrete, brick and other materials. Suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Provides thermal protection in the range from -60 to +200 degrees.

Astratek insulation is applied using the following technology:

• the surface is being prepared;
• padding;
• coating is applied;
• the time is expected until the material is completely dry;
• application of the following layers (up to 15 are allowed).

To prepare the coating, remove any visible dirt. It can be dust, or pieces of plaster falling off. If there are cracks on the wall, then they must be covered with putty. After it dries completely, everything is thoroughly rubbed and cleaned. Priming is essential to improve adhesion. For this, a primer is used, which is applied to the surface with a brush or roller. For reliability, 2 layers are applied. After the preparatory work, Astratek is diluted with water in a 1: 5 ratio and mixed thoroughly. Then the insulation is applied to the wall with a paint brush. The technology is similar to using conventional paint. Ceiling insulation with this material can be viewed in the video:

It is recommended to apply the material in one direction only. Harsh strokes in different directions will bring the mixture back to the brush. The layer should not exceed 0.5 mm. After complete drying of the material, a second layer is applied. It must be remembered that each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one has completely dried.

The two main advantages that polypropylene pipes for heating are endowed with are technical characteristics and ease of installation.

Where tees for heating pipes are used and for what purpose is described here.

Liquid ceramic thermal insulation Astratek

Liquid thermal insulation Astratek is a composition based on polymer dispersion, special lightweight fillers and modifying components. Thermal insulation is a homogeneous liquid suspension (mastic) that can be applied to the insulated surfaces with a brush or spray. After the liquid thermal insulation dries, a durable elastic coating with an ordered microporous structure is formed, which has heat-shielding and anticorrosive properties.

Thermal insulation polymer coatings ASTRATEK® are modern thermal insulation materials based on polymer binder, special lightweight fillers and targeted additives.

ASTRATEK coatings are a liquid suspension (mastic), which allows them to be applied to objects of any configuration with a brush or spray.

ASTRATEK is a highly porous heat-insulating material that works by implementing a blocking mechanism (creating a high thermal resistance) of 3 types of heat transfer - convection, conduction and radiation. The microporous structure of ASTRATEK heat-insulating paint reflects and dissipates more than 76% of the input thermal radiation during heat transfer.Due to the low thermal conductivity, there is a "weakening" of the heat flux in the thickness of the material, the low emissivity reduces the level of the output heat flux and provides a decrease in heat loss.

The mixture of this brand can be used for processing concrete, polymer, brick and metal surfaces.

Challenges and benefits

The purpose of Astratex thermal insulation is to create a protective layer that protects against the formation of condensation and the development of corrosion processes.

The popularity of the material is explained by its many positive characteristics:

• safety for people and the environment (does not emit toxic substances);
• fire safety (at temperatures from +2600 ° С it charred, from +8000 ° С it self-extinguishes);
• protection of surfaces from the appearance of fungus and the formation of mold, icing, condensation.

Unlike traditional insulation materials (mineral wool, foam), the brand's liquid insulation protects the treated structures from corrosion. The installation process does not require special skills. It is applied like a regular paint and, accordingly, does not take much time.

With its help, you can completely protect the treated area, while there will be no thermal gaps. The super-thin coating formed as a result of work will save usable area, "will not eat" precious centimeters.

Liquid thermal insulation of the Astratek brand is an optimal combination of price and quality. The use of this material for processing the facades of buildings for various purposes leads to a decrease in heat loss and financial costs for air conditioning in the warm season.

Astratek liquid thermal insulation

Liquid ultra-thin thermal insulation Astratek

Astratek Is a new liquid ceramic thermal insulator, a high-tech water-based composite material consisting of evacuated ceramic spheres in a mixture of acrylic polymers. This combination makes the material lightweight, flexible, stretchable and has excellent adhesion to the surfaces to be coated. The material resembles ordinary paint in consistency, it is a white suspension that can be applied to any surface. After drying, an elastic polymer coating forms, which has unique thermal insulation properties and provides anti-corrosion protection.

Operating principle thermal insulation of ASTRATEK can be called "thermal mirror effect". In a fully polymerized coating, the concentration of evacuated voids (foam glass microgranules) is about 80%. Thermal insulation ASTRATEK allows you to both reflect the heat flow and retain it inside yourself. The material merges with the protected surface, filling all micropores, and completely eliminates the contact of the surface with the environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Thermal insulation polymer coatings ASTRATEK are applied in layers. The thickness of one applied layer of ASTRATEK liquid thermal insulation should not be more than 0.5 mm. ASTRATEK facade on plastered concrete and brick surfaces it is allowed to apply thermal insulation in layers up to 1 mm thick. If a thicker coating is applied, the formation of a continuous film of liquid thermal insulation occurs faster than water evaporates from it (water is part of the material), and the remaining water deteriorates the thermal insulation properties of the material.

ASTRATEK should be applied in successive thin layers, each layer of liquid thermal insulation should be dried beforehand. The time for complete drying of each layer with a thickness of 0.5 mm at a temperature of 20C and an air humidity of 65% is 24 hours.

Operating principle

This ultra-thin coating can be applied to any surface, it tightly envelops them. The composition works in the same way as most composite thermal insulation materials.

After it dries, the heat insulator turns from a liquid material into a film that is strong and elastic. It is she who protects the structure from heat loss, being a kind of thermal barrier. Liquid thermal insulation can be applied in several layers, but the thickness of each layer should not exceed 0.5 mm.

An exceptional feature of the Astratek heat insulator is that the 1 mm coating it forms is as effective as layers of conventional roll insulation 50 mm thick.

Application

Ultrathin thermal insulation "Astratek" has a number of nuances in the technology of application and operation. A similar composition is used to treat clean, dry surfaces, free from dust and debris, old exfoliated materials, paints not affected by fungus. Loose areas are removed, deep cracks, cracks are sealed with putty.

The prepared substrates must dry completely. After that, they are sanded with coarse and medium-grained sandpaper. Then the surface is treated with a deep penetration primer mixture.

Work with a liquid composition can be carried out at a temperature of the treated surface from +5 ° C to +60 ° C. This should not be done in windy, rainy weather, fog or frost.

The mixture is thoroughly mixed before application. If necessary, it can be diluted with a little clean water.

Apply thermal insulation with a natural bristle brush, roller, trowel or spray, letting each layer dry completely (within 24 hours) before applying the next one. Before work, the brush is moistened with water. For high-quality application of the composition of the movement, the tool is directed in one direction. The recommended thickness of each layer is 0.5 mm. On concrete, brick or plaster substrates, up to 1 mm of the composition can be applied.

The coating becomes moisture resistant in a day. After complete drying, acrylic facade paints can be applied to the thermal insulation.

The service life of the material is at least 15 years.
