Therma-Guard Insulating Paints save you money on your heating and air conditioning bills, help preserve our natural resources, and improve the comfort level of your home or business.
Why Therma-Guard? Our connections to, the largest energy efficiency research institute in the United States, and as active members of the American Ceramic Society and SAMPE, the Society For the Advancement of Material
and Process Engineering, our research associate is provided with up to the minute technological advancements in the fields of energy, chemistry, and the environment which
are applied to our insulating paints.
Space Age Insulating Ceramics
When you hear the word "ceramic" you tend to think of a fine piece of porcelain, floor or wall tiles or a bathroom plumbing fixture however, new generations of ceramic materials have tremendously expanded the number of possible applications. Many of these new materials have a major impact on our daily lives and on our society.
Since the early 1960s, heat reflecting ceramics have been used mainly in heat-resistant components of civil aircraft, spacecraft and satellites. In space technology, ceramic materials and cements are
used to provide heat protection for the space shuttle.
Ceramics are good thermal insulators, have good electrical properties, heat dissipation, long life, strength and hardness, they are non corrosive, non-toxic and lightweight.
These properties, along with their high melting points, make ceramics attractive ingredients for insulating paints,
coatings and mastic's.
Until recently the application of ceramic coatings required a high level of technical skill and specialized equipment. Now due to advanced manufacturing techniques, Therma-Guard is able to make available an easy to use, non-toxic, inexpensive ceramic paint with the same heat reflecting properties that are used to reduce heat on painted surfaces by the military, major corporations and Industry.
Therma-Guard Insulating Ceramics are the cure for:
Poorly Insulated homes or garages
Un-insulated homes

You can be assured that these time tested and proven products are your best dollar value on the market today.
Easy to Apply, Long Lasting AND They INSULATE!
Therma-Guard insulating paint is high strength ceramic "microspheres".
Each single ceramic microsphere is so small that it looks to the naked eye as if it is a single grain of flour,
(slightly thicker than a human hair).
The microspheres in the Therma-Guard insulating paint have compressive strengths from 6500 to 60,000 PSI, a softening point of about 1800° C., and good chemical resistance, with low thermal conductivity of 0.1 W / m / Deg. C. Therma-Guard went one step farther and improved on the ceramic microspheres by removing all the gas inside which created a vacuum. Physics law states that nothing can move by conduction through a vacuum, since it represents an absence of matter. In effect we have a miniature thermos bottle... a microscopic hollow vacuum sphere that resists thermal conductivity and suppresses sound.
The painted surface dries to a tightly packed layer of the hard, hollow "microspheres". This tightly packed film reflects and dissipates heat by minimizing the path for the transfer of heat. The ceramics are able to reflect, refract and block heat radiation (loss or gain) and dissipate heat rapidly preventing heat transfer through the coating with as much as 95% of solar infrared rays and 85% of ultra violet-rays being radiated back into the atmosphere. Therma-Guard ceramics are completely inert and in coatings provide improved fire resistance, protection of coated surfaces from harmful UV rays, repulsion of insects such as termites and increased durability of the coating.
Additional Benefits of Therma-Guard Insulating Ceramics
Ceramics provide long lasting durability which means you paint less often.
Improved stain resistance and scrub ability.
Does not change the application, or adhesion of paint.
Ceramics are Non-Toxic & Fire Resistant
Helps deaden sound
Use on Interior or Exterior
Reduces heat and cooling loss!
Why Therma-Guard?
Therma-Guard insulating ceramics are selected for their chemical compatibility with paints and coatings and their thermal reducing properties. Therma-Guard insulating ceramics are not a waste by-product of some other industry nor are they an inexpensive filler as are many of the insulating paint additives being marketed today. We have seen dark dirty gray ceramics, thick gritty ceramics, and fragile, lightweight "fluffy" glass beads intended for use as fillers in plastics all being marketed as "Insulating Paint".
A great majority of ceramic and glass "microspheres" or "beads" being produced today are for applications ranging from medical, optical, electronic and every day household use each having different chemical and physical properties. Many of these applications require ceramics that will INCREASE the transfer of heat so it is crucial that you buy from a company who specializes in insulating paints and thermal reduction coatings.Ceramic Insulating Paint & Coatings
