What is Insuladd E-Coat?

Insuladd® E-Coat is an insulating wall paint and roof paint that is a 100-percent acrylic product that contains the ceramic paint additive Insuladd®. Insuladd® E-Coat helps you save energy and reduce heating and cooling bills. It keeps summer heat and winter cold out of your home. In addition to acting as a roof insulation or attic insulation paint that provides long-lasting protection, Insuladd® E-Coat can smooth over minor surface imperfections while protecting against driving rain and keeping moisture out of your home.

About Insuladd E-Coat

Insuladd™ E-Coat insulating roof paint utilizes the very latest in ceramic micro-sphere technology originally developed by NASA for use on the space shuttle tiles.

The same technology is now being used in Insuladd® for paint used for painting your home or business. This research and development has produced a "light elastomeric liquid solution". Which is a ceramic paint additive mixed into a fluid rubber like paint that's easy to apply to most structures. E-Coat helps you save energy by reducing the solar concentration generated by extreme sunlight on large surfaces. Insuladd has been shown to produce a 40 percent reduction in heat gain generated in your home from the sun! This will save energy cooling demands for you in the summer thus reducing utility bills. Insuladd® E-Coat works in winter by reducing heat loss into your home as well as moisture condensation problems.

Insuladd has ceramic micro-spheres which create a thermal barrier. They refract, reflect and dissipate heat. Below is a typical surface where Insuladd e-coat has been applied.

How e-coat works

These tiny microspheres act as highly efficient thermal barriers that reflect radiant against heat, this actual happens even before the Insuladd® E-Coat and Insuladd® ceramic paint additive dries.

A highly efficient radiant barrier greatly improves your roof insulation or attic insulation. This is created by the microspheres coming closer together as the coating dries, until they eventually touch each other forming a single, very thin, thermal barrier.

This barrier reflects, refracts and dissipates heat, thereby keeping heat in a structure during the cold winter months and out of the structure during the hot summer months.

The Insuladd® microspheres are extremely strong and lightweight, the ceramic particles add very little weight but substantially increase the strength of the coating.

Uses of Insuladd Insulating Coatings

Insuladd® E-Coat insulating roof paint and insulating wall paints are ideal for areas subject to moisture because E-Coat is a moisture barrier and waterproof coating. E-Coat not only acts as attic insulation, wall insulation or roof insulation, but also protects against damaging moisture condensation problems. This Insulating elastomeric coating is ideally suited for application to steel sided buildings, steel roofs, concrete and cement block structures.
Insuladd® E-Coat is highly effective in both hot and cold climates, substantially reducing cooling and heating demands. Insuladd® products are safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
Insuladd® ceramic paint additive can be used to quickly and easily insulate buildings and structures that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible to insulate with more traditional methods.

Advantages over current roof coatings

Labour Savings - Insuladd e-coat is applied by paint brush, roller and spray gun and does not require any specialist equipment. The time needed to coat the structure is also reduced, as a single coat dries in 2-3 hours for recoating.

Lightweight - Insuladd e-coat provides the thermal properties required but has a mass of only 0.73kg/m². Being much lighter than traditional insulation boards, it is ideally suited to areas that would not be able to withstand any large weight loading, such as lightweight roofs or thin sheet panels.

Superior Flexibility– Insuladd e-coat can flex over a wide temperature range (even bend 90° at -37°C). Its durability and flexibility makes it ideal for surfaces that will bend or move through flexing or expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling. It will elongate, bend and recover with the surface without cracking or flaking, thus ensuring that the surface will remain coated and protected at all times.
