1) ASTM E- 408 Infrared Emissivity Test & ASTM E -1918 Solar Reflectivity Test. How Exterior Paints and Interior Paints Can Play Roles in Conserving Energy
Test report shows interior 11.8% and exterior 37% heat reduction when using Insuladd©

2) A Comprehensive "R" value test with concluding data for 18 common wall assemblies and the improvement of R-Value that occurs when Using Insuladd® Solar Reflective Paint on Irradiated Building Walls.
Test report shows that Insuladd when added to paint more than doubles the "Whole Wall Effect R-Value" in the majority of cases.

3) Thermal Room Model Test That Defines Energy Savings via Low IR Emissivity Paints. A Study of the Energy Savings when Using Insuladd© Solar Reflective Paint on the Inside of Building Walls.
Test Report shows expected results resulting in rooms staying in the "human comfort zone" longer.

4) Thermal Wall or Roof Model test of 6 types of building envelopes that can be Used to Estimate Energy Savings when Painting Exterior Surfaces of Roofs and Walls with Solar Reflective Paints.
Test report illustrates a 13% value or advantage resulting from using Insuladd solar reflective paint on the outside of building envelopes. Specifically, the energy savings are significant.

5) Test Method for Equilibrium Fuel Tank Temperature as a result of the Solar Heating and Nocturnal Cooling Cycle.
Test Reports show a significant effect and savings

6) Tank Evaporation Test - Evaporation losses from Solar Irradiated Fuel Tanks coated with ordinary paints and the same paints with Insuladd added.
Test reports show a 20% lower evaporation losses for tanks coated with Insuladd.

7) Testing Method for Calculation of Equivalent R Value. A Study of the Energy Savings that can occur when Using Insuladd Solar Reflective Paint on Irradiated Building Walls.
The Test Report shows that the Insuladd/Primer coated panel consistently produced results showing a reduced heat flux through the R-3 panel of 33%, doubling the "R" value of the test substrates.
