Specifications Exterior Thermo-Shield Wall Coat

Insulation

Although these Coatings enjoy very low Conductance (0.06 W/mK), it is the combination of their high Reflectance (89%), high Emittance (94%) and Endothermic Effect® which make them a very good choice for protecting your exterior walls from radiant heat buildup. Unlike typical mass insulation, where heat conduction is just slowed down, this technology keeps the heat out. Sunlight only produces heat when it is absorbed by the wall surface, so being able to keep heat from forming into the surface of the walls is a very effective way to insulate. The cooling process of Endothermic Effect® ensures that the surface continues to insulate, even if Reflectance is diminished with aging, dust build-up or darker colors.

Typical Uses

For painting concrete, metal, wood, polymerized surfaces and reducing condensation. STD EXTERIOR: Used in most climatic conditions where color fading is a major concern. It has superb fire resistance, excellent chemical resistance to salt spray, strong acids, petroleum products and other harsh chemicals. TROPICAL EXTERIOR: With the same properties as STD, it is used in climatic conditions where fungi growth is a major concern. ACCENT BASE: No pigmentation. Used as a clear coat or when tinting for darker colors.

Primer

No primer is usually required. Follow instructions for proper application and film build-up.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be clean and free from laitance (efflorescence), dust, dirt, rust, oil and grease. Minimally, surfaces must be cleaned to remove any loose or chipped paint, or any other foreign material prior to coating.

Color

Tinting may be achieved with Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats by the addition of universal colorants. Darker colors will give a correspondingly lower reflectivity.

Percent Non-Volatile

54.41% by VOLUME / 54.85% by weight

Theoretical Coverage

10.4 sm per gallon at 150 microns DFT with no loss to be applied in 2 coats (130 sf/gl at 6-Mills DFT)

Drying Time

Thinning

None required. Clean water in small amounts of up to 0.24 Liter (1 cup) per gallon may be added to replace evaporation losses or to adjust for spray equipment configuration. Caution: excessive thinning will cause the coating to lose adhesion and elasticity.

Equipment

Roller or airless spray application is recommended. Very small areas may be brushed. When Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats are applied by brush, three (3) coats cross-brushed are required for adequate protection.

Airless Spray:

Methods

To ensure adequate and uniform coverage, the “spray and back roll” techniques are recommended - spray all coats in the same direction, do not cross spray to avoid showing undulations and other small imperfections in the walls. Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats should be applied in full wet coats.

Clean Up

Clean tools and equipment with warm soapy water. Rinse with clean water; flush mineral spirits through spray equipment to prevent rusting and to lubricate packing and gaskets.

Packaging

One and five-gallon pails. Lined 55-gallon drums.
