What is Insultec?

 
   
   
INSULTEC – a heat re-radiating membrane which is highly durable and flexible, allowing it to move with the substrate. INSULTEC fills and bridges hairline cracks, and can be applied to a wide variety of materials such as concrete, asphalt, timber, clean or primed fibro and properly primed metals. It is in a slightly off white colour with a matt finish to alleviate glare. The application of INSULTEC membrane ensures longer life for the substrate it is applied to.

Composition:

INSULTEC is a water based co – polymer containing inert pigments and special fillers.

21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGY…
Insultec membranes and coatings have a remarkable

ability to stop solar heat transfer. Insultec is applied to the

external surface of a structure in fluid form and dries to a solid

protective finish. Insultec can stop 90% of infrared and 85% of

ultra violet light from entering a structure, re-radiating it back

into the atmosphere.
UNIQUE FORMULA…
The formulation of Insultec is unique. It is unsurpassed in its ability to

stop damage caused by the transfer of solar heat. By a successful method of

combining a unique re-radiating component in a resin base which has inherent

special attribute, the manufacturers have developed a range of coatings

which has maximum efficiency for a wide range of applications.
TECHNICAL DATA…
Insultec is a water based co-polymer compound containing

inert pigments and special filters. It is a one component system,

with excellent adhesion, is microporous, impervious to salt spray

and airborne pollution, mould and fungus resistant and will not

flake, crack or peel. Insultec has been thoroughly tested and is

acclaimed by world authorities on heat transfer.
SOLAR HEAT TRANSFER
Throughout the day infrared and ultra violet rays

transfer through the roof and subjective walls to the infrastructure

and inside air, continually adding heat as the day progresses.

Once the heat is in, it is trapped. Long after the sun has set

and the air outside has cooled, it is still uncomfortably hot inside.

Internally fitted systems such as batts, foam, etc., only slow

the rate of heat transfer. They do not stop it.
THE INSULTEC DIFFERENCE…
The unique properties of Insultec prevent the penetration

of heat transfer to an unsurpassed level. It is unique in the principle

upon which it works. Reports of its effectiveness have shown difference

on very hot days as high as 20ºC and more. In the cooler periods,

the difference is not so great. In simple terms, with Insultec,

there is less fluctuation in internal temperature, providing a

more comfortable interior. This marked difference has direct and

indirect effects on financial benefits.
COST EFFECTIVE…
Insultec effectively reduces costs by extending

structural life expectancy and by reducing energy consumption.

Savings on air conditioning usage have been reported above 61%.

Combined savings on labour, energy and structural repair add up

to economical sense.
