SPACE AGE HEAT BARRIER

         DEVELOPED BY NASA TO COOL THE SHUTTLE
TESTIMONIAL

"I wish to thank you and your company for repairing the sub-standard work on the roofs of the Brandy Distillery at Worcester and the wine store at KWV Upington
respectively. The sub-standard work was done by others.

The Brandy Distillery at Worcester is a high profile tourist attraction. The
ineffectiveness of the previous thermal roof coating (due to product dilution) caused major embarrass-ment for KWV. The first hot days of summer have just passed and
the tour guides remarked on the pleasant cool conditions inside the distillery.

The Wine Store at Upington is used to store wine for sale to KWV members. Due to the high summer temperatures, the heat affected the quality of the wine and at times
dislodged the corks in the bottles.

The temperature inside and outside the store is being monitored. At an ambient temperature of between 37° C - 40° C, the temperature inside the store remained between 25° C - 27° C. (+- 33 %) This is a remarkable improvement and worthy of mention.
From the above it is clear that the Ceratech roof coating has solved the heat problems in 2 major KWV facilities.

Please thank your colleagues for the professional and courteous manner in which the work was completed."

Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,

The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating is a water- borne emulsion of high quality resins and plasticizers for superior adhesion for any type of roof. It dries by evaporation to yield a tough, velvety, water repellent surface with exceptional abrasion resistance, ultra-violet light stability and superior mildew resistance. It is formulated for non-metal and metal roofs and is warranted to hold occasional ponding water without deterioration.

Unlike other coatings, it contains ceramic particles. These particles are the heat dissipating elements in the ceramic coating that give it the ability to save on cooling costs. It is applied to yield a tough, watertight, roof membrane.

 

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

· Temperature reduction of up 45%
· Reduces roof degradation by up to 80%
· Non-toxic
· Water Borne
· Abrasion Resistant
· Flexible
· Mildew Resistant
· Energy Saving
· Non-Yellowing
· Labour, Time & Cost Saving
· Clean up with soap & water
· Superior Adhesion

APPLICATION ADVANTAGES

· No primer coat
· Excellent low temperature flexibility
· High firm build
· Freedom of spatter
· Excellent brush application 

APPLICATION

Surfaces should be clean, dry and sound. Existing surface dirt, oil, tar, grease and mill film should be removed prior to application. The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating may be applied to other surfaces. Examples are wood or masonry, after following preparation procedures above and in the specification manual. It is recommended that flat roofs should have some type of drain system.

The Ceramic Heat Barrier Coating can be applied by brush or roller. It should be applied evenly without build up. Multiple coats are recommended to a total wet film thickness of 500 micron (0,5mm). See our Coverage Calculation page.

MIXING

Before applying our product, the coating needs to be mixed thoroughly to insure that all chemical / non-chemical components are well dispersed. Under no circumstances can our product be mixed with a mechanical or electric device exceeding 200 RPM mixing over the recommended speed of 200 RPM will damage certain particles, prohibiting the product from functioning to specifications. Ideal mixing should be done with a plunger or a flat paddle before every application.
