The THERMO-SHIELD® Protections

THERMO-SHIELD® was developed in order to protect materials from heat. By implementing ceramic bubbles in a vacuum which are only a fraction of a millimeter in size, engineers were successful in making sure that the coating could withstand temperature fluctuations of more than 2,000° C.

After it was released for civilian use, the thermal ceramic shield was further developed especially for the requirements of construction and housing whereby other important features were added. The THERMO-SHIELD® material which resembles paint, is an energy saving, long-term protection and coloration system all in one.

THERMO-SHIELD® is the most advanced insulative ceramic coating on the market. THERMO-SHIELD® is the product of seven years of relentless research to engineer the perfect ceramic coating. The benefits of using THERMO-SHIELD® are astounding and verifiable.

How Does THERMO-SHIELD® Work

The energy saving THERMO-SHIELD® coating consists of a special water-based bonding agent, which contains millions of very small vacuum glass ceramic bubbles (20 to 120 Micrometers). After drying, the film is polymerized to a 0.3mm strong, elastic, sealed but moisture permeable structure (coating).

The characteristics of this coating ensure the energy-saving feature. It sets itself apart from traditional notions which are based on the reduction of energy loss. The bubbles "filter" the thermal flow in infrared low temperatures and reflect and disperses up to 25 percent of the heat. In this way, the surface of the coating radiates three times less heat than brick or concrete for example.

The coating's water permeability with a sufficient level of vapor diffusion ("breathing activity") guarantees the drying of building materials and increases their actual thermal resistance. In addition, heat loss is reduced by 7 to 9 percent. This results in a complex of various physical effects that can all be found within the thin coating.

The scientific term for this is: "Oberflächenbeschichtung mit endothermischen Effekten®" "Surface coating with endo-thermal effects". With that, the heat loss in a building protected by THERMO-SHIELD® is reduced and the building's heating costs are lowered by 20 to 30 percent. Air-conditioning costs in the Summer or in hot climate zones can be reduced by 30 to 60 percent in those buildings where no insulation was used.
