New materials that occur in the construction market, provide an opportunity to carry out repair and construction work at a higher level of quality. Liquid paint thermal insulation for pipes - a modern thermal insulation of new generation, which today insulated pipes, heating and water systems, as well as equipment with a high temperature carrier. This material is designed to reduce heat transfer surfaces, which are covered with them.
According to the manufacturer of the paint, it has higher levels of thermal insulation. It brings more economic benefits to enterprises, despite the high cost. To verify the authenticity of these statements, you need to know a little bit technical parameters of paint, to get acquainted with the components belonging to it, to know the process of application and use of other nuances.
That is, how it works
Thermal insulation for pipes and paint - a substance in the form of mastic mass, consistency, like a normal cream. Used for the treatment of load-bearing structures, tanks and systems, providing a lining pipe. It innovate, initially, especially for the aerospace industry. Now used in construction and repair industries, the construction of buildings.
Heat reflecting capabilities of the coating are such that even at a thickness of only 1 mm, it prevents heat loss well where it is particularly needed. It can be applied to any surface: walls, floors, tubs and other structures.
After applying the substance polymerizing converted into elastic matte finish performing thermal barrier role. Keeping it within the system, does not radiate outwardly therefrom. To reduce heat loss occurs due to the fact that the cover has:
- A very small fraction of compounds having thermally conductive properties. It consists of only 20% of the components endowed with these opportunities.
- Loss of a convention in this substance too small. The material consists of "balls" microscopic size. Which is filled with a rarefied air currents.
- Efficacy teplosberezheniya (which is 90%) is attained due to the fact that the coating operates on the principle of the classic thermos.
In addition to heat-function serves as additional protection against corrosion and other negative processes, which can be subjected to tubular products.
Such isolation pipelines - more than a worthy alternative to traditional mineral wool and other hitherto known heat insulator.
From what is produced, which has the technical characteristics
Liquid insulation - an innovative material with very high thermal insulation. This composite coating having a polymer containing in its structure are hollow ceramic microspheres.
insulation Composition
The structure of this substance is as follows:
- Base - binder - a mixture of water and acrylic. It aims to promote the uniform distribution on the surface to enhance the ability of the adhesive surfaces.
- Filler - ceramic beads of microscopic sizes, which are filled with gas. Thanks to their presence, insulation increases significantly.
- Additional components - rubber, silicone and other components with properties that improve the water resistance and elasticity of the coating.
Warming of this insulation in combination with other species, increases the ability to retain heat and have.
After application and complete polymerization, the proportion of the voids is in the scatter - 75-80%.
Specifications
Indicators of this parameter is given in tabular form:
| Parameter | Description |
| Density (kg / l) | 0.6 (i.e., 10 liter bucket filled with paint will not weigh 10 kg, the actual weight of 6 kg) |
| Color | Lactic |
| The presence of granules | When tactile contact (touch) felt a slight roughness |
| Quality | When the bundle must be present massive layer consisting of a layer of granules. |
What kinds of shares, the characteristics of each type,
Market insulating coatings of this category offers several varieties differing between a composition and methods of application:
- ceramic
- Penoizol (polystyrene).
General advantages - speed of coverage, good insulation properties. In all other respects, these compositions are slightly different from each other: on the field of use, composition and specific properties.
ceramic teplokraska
From the mind - a substance (mastic), reminiscent of acrylic paint. On sale there are several types of items that heater. However, consistency, technical data and the composition of their identical:
- Binder - Acrylic aqueous solution.
- Additional components - silicone resin, rubber or other components with similar properties.
- Ceramic beads correct circular shape.
After application forms an ultrathin layer with very high insulation. Widely used in construction. In addition to the functions of thermal insulation is used also as a protection against corrosion.
polystyrene compounds
Also has many titles, it depends on the manufacturer and country of manufacture. Consists of:
- Urea-formaldehyde resin, which is included in the formulations still cold-curing foams.
- Foaming substance.
- Water.
- Orthophosphoric acid.
The percentage of resin ratio - the main indicator of the density. For mixing the composition ingredients used special equipment (gas-liquid apparatus that runs on compressed air). Whereby the components are mixed, it is converted into a foam-like mass.
Is applied by spraying. This will require a special spray. This technology allows applying densely fill voids, cracks, crevices. It has a slightly yellowish tint.
The coating has no seams, which gives the ability to effectively apply it at the Metakhim and areas where sealing performance, durability and reliability are very important and high.
Heat-insulating paint can warm any kind of pipe, regardless of their destination. This approach - reliable protection from: heat loss and corrosion.
Arguments in favor of the use of a liquid pipe insulation
Such a method of storing heat has many positive sides:
- Well applied to any surface types, including bends and hollows.
- It is securely held on the surfaces due to the excellent performance of adhesion.
- Inert to the components which are deposited on surfaces without entering them into any types of reactions.
- It has an attractive appearance after application.
- Completely safe for human health.
- The coating liquid of significantly increases maintainability insulation piping.
- Inert to the fire - does not burn, does not pass through the fire itself.
- It extends the life of the structure.
- It is possible to tint milky in any other color.
- It has high stability against accidental physical damage.
- Inert to high humidity, aggressive chemicals and other compositions.
Drawback - the price. In comparison with other thermal insulators it is much more expensive. However, such costs recouped properties and functions that do not exist in any of the other heat insulators.
Qualitative teplokraska makes it possible to protect the metal from damage in all weather conditions and temperatures ranging between (-6000) To (+25000FROM).
Areas of use
In all countries of the world have long liquid insulation strengthen bridges, massive metal structure of a destination. It used an innovative coating and treated with heat insulation:
- pipes for various purposes and diameter in industrial and residential buildings;
- pipelines for conveying too cold, too hot and explosive substances;
- oil and gas mains;
- air ducts of air conditioning systems;
- in facades, slopes, roofing and other architectural elements;
- shut-off valve located in the laboratory, medical, oven institutions.
Furthermore, having the ability to be firmly retained on the surfaces, it can be used in thermal insulation and concrete, masonry and polymeric structures.
Features of use - A phased processing of tubes
Teplokraska widely used one where to metrics such as the thermal conductivity of special requirements - tubes heating, water, mixtures of transportation, are very sensitive to low or conversely high temperatures. Apply makeup need to respect the rules:
- Initially, clean and degrease the surface.
- Progruntoavat them.
- Plastic pipes to check for adhesion.
- Hot pipes insulated by alternating layers of paint from fiberglass. The number of layers is about 3-5 each.
For outdoor piping fluid thermal insulation is applied mastic TM "Isollat", "Front-corundum" and other compounds with the same properties.
To maximize align the pipe, making them aesthetics, can be alternated bandage or gauze layer of paint.
The consumption of paint - how to calculate
Liquid thermal insulation - a worthy replacement of traditional mineral wool and other materials that have been used previously. This new coating has proved to be extremely positive side. It has virtually no negative properties. Buying it for private use, in addition to the costs and benefits of trade marks another important indicator - consumption of material.
As an example calculation of a preliminary ink, e.g., "Emery Classic".
1 paint cans in 1 liter:
- coating with a thickness of 0.5 mm can cover 2 square meters;
- at a thickness of 1 mm - only 1 square.
It is important here to provide and material losses on the overrun. It depends on the application:
- when working with a paint brush and the metal surface, loss will be 3-5%;
- In the same masking brush to the concrete 5-10%;
- when working with metal spray on the surface of 15-25%;
- spray composition when applied to concrete - 35-45%.
The roughness of the surface, the greater the consumption of paint, if it applied spray.
It has the meaning and location of surfaces - vertical or horizontal. Here we must pay 5% on the influx of layers in a vertical painting.
A lot of weight and has a masters qualification. Experience makes it possible to reduce the material cost overruns.
Other factors that affect the variance:
- diameter conduit;
- roughness;
- weather, if the painted street design.
Recommendations made by the selection
Skilled craftsmen are advised to be based on the following guidelines when choosing a liquid insulation for pipelines:
- Carefully read hydrophobicity, thermal conductivity and other properties. Comparing them with matching characteristics and surface material on which it is planned to apply the composition.
- Correctly calculate ink consumption in view of the application thickness and overruns. Otherwise, the coating quality may deteriorate to deteriorate.
- It is not advisable limited to one layer. Particularly if the tube is too rough and uneven.
- Check the operating temperature the composition specified by the manufacturer, to compare the conditions in which you will work.
- For outdoor work should buy the paint for outdoor use, for the internal, respectively - internal use only.
- Some compositions are limited in cycles of freezing / thawing. Pay attention to it, when it comes to outdoor use.
In general, teplokraska deserves attention, both by the professionals involved in insulation, and ordinary people are seeking to insulate not only the walls, but the lines in his home ownership. And the fact that it can be applied even on their own (after using special equipment it requires), then up to the task bude easy.
