For insulation of various coolants, facades of houses, metal structures, containers and other structures use special substances. They are materials that are very bad heat. One of these insulation is thermal insulation armor. Due to its innovative composition, it allows you to remove losses with a thickness of one millimeter. It is used in almost all construction transactions in which protection from cold is needed.

Like most thermal insulators, is a white paste. Applied with a spatula or other devices to the surface. After frozen, for 24 hours, a solid layer is obtained. The thickness of thermal insulation armor depends on the desired effect and does not exceed 6 mm. The subsequent increase does not provide improvement in properties.

Features

So that the superflow coating of thermal insulation armor was reliable, it must be applied after special surface preparation. For this purpose, degreasing solvents are used or simply carefully remove all pollution with a brush. To protect was effective, a layer of millimeters is required. This is achieved due to the special composition:

• Acrylic-based binder.
• Ceramic microgranules with closed in them rarefied air.
• A set of catalysts and clamps.
• Anticorrosive additives and means against fungus.

It is these components that make lightness and flexibility. It also hits many surfaces. Some coating varieties are not afraid of rust and apply directly to it, but it is necessary to remove large wet detachments. For this purpose there will be a spatula. There is water in the mixture, it is added if the composition thickened from long-term storage.

Usal scope

Due to its properties, this thermal insulator has universal use on construction and repair objects and withstands temperature from -60 to +260 degrees. According to reviews, liquid isolation of the company armor reliably protects residential buildings from cold and dampness. With it, it is eliminated by heat losses in heating pipelines and tanks. It is also possible to insulate the internal partitions of liquid armor, the decoration of the walls of new rooms and roofing structures.

Compared to other options, this has obvious advantages:

• To apply it, you need a minimum of tools.
• The thickness of thermal insulation is not more than 6 mm.
• Applied to any surface.
• Has a high degree of adhesion (sticking).
• Service life - from 15 years.

In the laboratory conditions, the flow rate reaches one liter per 1 m 2, the heat insulation layer is 1 millimeter. It may vary depending on the conditions: for an uneven surface will increase.

Independent application

For this, a brush or airless sprayer is suitable. In one passage to the surface, a layer of up to a millimeter is stacked. With this use, the flow rate of liquid thermal insulation armor will be optimal, and layers are not formed.

Works are carried out at surface temperatures -35 ºC to +150 ºC. The mode depends on the brand of thermal insulation. Before applying, mix the material right in the bucket. To achieve a certain consistency, a small amount of distilled water is added.

Types of insulation and its price

There are four types of material. Depending on the needs, you can choose what is suitable for the operation environment. An overview of thermal insulation paint armor is better to start with a classic view that is most popular:

• "Armor Classic" - innovative thermal insulation, which is universal. It is used for any surfaces that need to be inspired. Delivery form: 5, 10 and 20 liters in plastic vendors. This container is characteristic of all types, except for the winter. Sold 390 rubles / l.
• "Anticorrosive" - \u200b\u200bliquid thermal insulation paint. The main advantage is that it, in addition to the prepared places, is used and on a rusty plane with coarse cleaning. A combination with the brand "Classic" is possible. Buy Isolation "Armor Antikor" will be released at an average price of 400 rubles / liter.
• "Winter" is a unique means of thermal insulation, which is applied at the surface temperature to -35 ° C. The characteristic allows you to apply it in the winter outdoors, while it works well without crystallization. Reviews about the armor of this species are positive. Release format: 10 and 20 liter plastic buckets. The cost of liters is 430 rubles.
• "Facade" is an excellent tool that is more suitable for the insulation of buildings outside, laid on the surface at once with a thickness of 1 millimeter, which can significantly reduce the time of operation for the external parts of the house. In addition, the insulation misses couples. The cost of liter of thermal insulation is 390 rubles.

It is necessary to quickly, efficiently, with lowest time, forces, and also, finance to produce thermal insulation of the roof, gender, walls or pipes in the house or garage, moreover, already in the finished, built room, without reducing its useful area?! There is nothing easier! And today, this is not a fairy tale and someone's fantasies, but proven by years of space flights, technology - liquid thermal insulation! What it is, as for which it is used, we will tell you on the example of the unique development of Russian scientists - liquid thermal insulation "Armor".

What is liquid thermal insulation

Everyone knows that many scientific developments, we currently widely applied, came to us from the military or space industry. It did not exception and liquid thermal insulation, originally used for the thermal insulation of spacecraft.

It is clear that the spacecraft is a high-precision mechanism, therefore, elevated requirements are presented to the cosmic rockets and shuttles.

Hold down low open space temperatures by reducing heat loss.
- To be light and durable,
- resistant to the effects of aggressive environmental factors, corrosion, while staying on Earth ...

And all this, indeed, can be ensured thanks to liquid heat insulation.
What is liquid thermal insulation?

Liquid thermal insulation - liquid polymer composition consisting of acrylic and rubber binders, hyperfine ceramic microspheres containing discharged air, catalysts and fixing components, with anti-corrosion additives, applied as paint, layer from 1 to 6 mm on any materials and surfaces. In a liquid form, liquid thermal insulation is paint, after applying and drying, become a polymer elastic and durable film coating. Application is carried out in several layers, and the operation of liquid thermal insulation is possible at, almost any temperatures.

Liquid thermal insulation in terms of use in energy and construction provides:

-thermal insulation of surfaces and as a result, a significant reduction in heat loss,

Protection of wooden, concrete and metal surfaces from moisture exposure, acids, alkalis, temperatures,

- Protection of people from the possible thermal effects of the coolant in pipes, boilers, etc.

- Economic area, due to a small, but productive thermal insulation layer,

- Economic time, due to fast and simple application: prepare the surface, as for the usual painting, applying liquid heat insulation we produce with a sprayer and brushes, in several layers. Drying time 1 layer - 1 day.

-Economy means.By itself, liquid thermal insulation - the product is not cheap, from 20 cu For 1 l, but, and the flow rate of liquid insulation is 1 l per 1 m.kv., in the final (multilayer version of thermal insulation). But, due to the possibility of applying liquid thermal insulation on their own, quickly, without the use of all components of the classic heat-insulating "pie": frame, hydro and vapor barrier, insulation, - with a guaranteed service life of more than 15 years, it becomes obvious that still, liquid thermal insulation is Saving funds.

Based on this, the scope of application of liquid thermal insulation is practically limitless.

Such a wide range of material is used to make its operational characteristics listed above, in particular the temperature range ranging from -60 to +250 degrees Celsius against the background of the term of use declared by the manufacturer over 30 years.

Varieties of liquid thermal insulation armor

The manufacturer offers several varieties of ceramic liquid insulation to solve a variety of tasks. List the available reservation options on the market below.

Super-thin thermal insulation "Standard" is represented as a base coating for the cost-effective treatment of surfaces and structures of any type with an increase in heat and sound insulation.

The "Classic" paint is also a basic coating modification with the main feature - excellent indicators of adhesive properties regardless of the type of surface. Among all the species presented is one of the most subtle materials.

The "Anticorrosive" coating is universally in its kind, guarantees the formation of a thin layer of the insulation, which is allowed to be applied even on rusty metal surfaces. The material demonstrates excellent thermal insulation characteristics against the background of increased corrosion resistance.

The paint "Winter" was specially designed for applying on the surface in the autumn-winter period at low temperatures. The material differs from the other types of liquid insulation with the ability to perfectly cut the surface at temperatures up to -30 degrees Celsius.

The insulation "Facade" was created to process the outer walls of the facade in order to increase the level of heat and sound insulation. Apply the paint with a layer to 1 mm in one processing.

Light is a modern putty with thermal insulation properties, irreplaceable in the course of construction and finishing work, when it is necessary to align and simultaneously insulate the surfaces from different materials with a temperature of operation in the range from -60 to +150 degrees Celsius.

"Fireproof" is the composition to increase the fire resistance of steel surfaces in industrial and domestic premises.

"Universal" is a heat insulating insulation for processing any type of surfaces, the nearest analogue described above "Standard" and "Classic". The advantage of paint is the versatility of use and affordable price against the background of excellent heat-shielding properties and economical flow.

Armor Nord is another budget version of liquid heat insulation with characteristics similar to the characteristics of the coverage of "Winter".

The insulation "Metal" demonstrates properties similar to the properties of the anticorrosive coating, that is also used to treat metal surfaces with different degrees of rust lesion.

Anti-condense Pro coating can be applied on the surface with a high level of condensate without special processing. Suitable for thermal insulation of pipelines, all sorts of equipment with a wet surface without shutdown during operation.

Liquid armor: how to apply

It is convenient for the insulation in a liquid form to use an airless sprayer. One processing allows you to apply a millimeter layer of material on the surface. Under such conditions, the consumption of thermal insulation does not go beyond the framework of the norm, there is no risk of layering effect.

Conduct work on heat insulation using armor is allowed at temperatures from -35 to +150 degrees Celsius - it all depends on the selected material brand. Before processing, the paint is kneaded in the tank before the formation of a homogeneous consistency with a small inclusion of distilled water.

The term "ultra-thin heat insulation" refers to a group of paints with fillers from ceramic microspheres with discharged air inside, most often on an acrylic basis. This insulation has unique characteristics: with a minimum weight load, it completely covers building structures, simultaneously protecting them from moisture and corrosion. A recognized leader in this area - paints and suspensions of the armor of domestic production.

This is a homogeneous white suspension, forming a high-density matte film after drying and resistant to most external influences. The effect of insulation is achieved by maintaining heat inside ceramic granules, elasticity - due to acrylic basis, other parameters - input of catalysts, anti-corrosion and antiseptic additives. Depending on the target (specific functions are shown in the table below), costs and properties are isolated 11 modifications of thermal insulation compositions of Armor:

• Basic: classic, facade, winter, anticorros.
• Budget: Universal, Wall, Nord, Metal (brands with similar characteristics, but cheaper).
• Specialized: Standard, Light, Flames.

The main technical characteristics of thermal insulation:

• The thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.0012 W / m · K according to the manufacturer's application.
• Parry permeability - 0.001 mg / m · h · Pa with armor classic, anticorrosive and 0.013 in brands, which are recommended to purchase for thermal insulation of facades and walls.
• The average density of the composition is 0.558 g / cm3.
• Frost resistance - up to 50 cycles without changing the appearance of the coating.
• The combustible group - NG and G1 depending on the form of release.
• Adhesion to the base: 1.33 MPa - to cement mortars and concrete, 2.04 - to brick, 2.3 - to the metal.
• Standard temperature range: from -60 ° C to +200 (up to 140 in budget modifications).
• The service life of the armor insulation is at least 15 years.

The liquid thermal insulation consumption declared by the manufacturer is 1 liter per 1 m2 with a thickness of the applied layer of 1 mm, feedback confirms it. This indicator is highly dependent on the quality of the preparation and evenness of the working base. The minimum drying time of the thin layer of paint armor is 1 hour, the day the day goes to complete solidification.

Due to the high adhesion, ultra-low thermal insulation is optimal when insulating pipe highways, metal tanks and surfaces, according to the reviews in this regard, it is better and more convenient to roll minvati. The scope is practically not limited and includes horizontal, vertical and inclined structures inside and outside residential and industrial buildings. The paint armor is recommended to buy for insulation of slopes, facades, roofs, floors, ventilations, water heaters, tanks, refrigeration chambers and similar objects. According to the reviews, the maximum effect is achieved with insulation of hard-to-reach and limited in system space, including underground.

Works start with surface preparation: removal of loose areas, old coatings, rust removal, degreasing or dedust. This insulation has good adhesion to any building materials, but the laying on an uneven or unstable base is unreasonably increases consumption. The paint is better kept under the condition of pre-treatment of plane with soil armor. The composition is applied to clean and dry structures with an airless sprayer with a pressure within 60-80 bar or a soft-natural pile of brushes.

Immediately before the start of installation, the thermal insulation is stirred (manually or by a construction mixer) and, if necessary, diluted (exclusively distilled water). The process requires accuracy, it is important to leave the microspheres intact. The volume of injected fluid is limited: with manual staining, it should not exceed 5%, with mechanized - 3. The same refers to external parameters: when conducting heat-insulating work in conditions of high humidity, the paint is better not to dilute. Ignoring these requirements leads to an increase in the dying period of the layer and is considered a violation of technology. The exception is made only under the preliminary application (when the main composition of the armor is used as soil), in this case, up to 30% of water is introduced.

Specific conditions for carrying out work and the recommended layer thickness depend on the brand, but it is better to apply an ultra-hot coating of thermal insulation several times than once, but in thick. According to reviews to achieve proper subtlety, quick and short strokes must be performed. The number of layers of insulation armor are determined by a special calculation, but at least the optical thickness should be achieved (0.5 mm, walls or structural elements are not transluted through the paint), the maximum is 6 mm. Each subsequent layer is performed only after complete drying of the previous one.

Review reviews

"Bought the heat-insulating paint armor universal when insulating the balcony, at 14 m2 I had 15 liters. After applied after the sealing of the gaps, in one layer of the usual soft brush. The thickness was not more than 1 mm, it helped to save space. Condensate does not accumulate on the walls of the balcony, the material protects well from heat loss. "

Roman, St. Petersburg.

"Used liquid insulation of the brand of the armor wall for the insulation of an extension in a private house, completely satisfied with the result. The material endured wintering without coverage with condensate and in anem, the room premises better heat. The paint is expensive, but exhibited economically, on average 1 m2 will cost 500 rubles, but there is no need for its additional protection. "

George, Moscow.

"I advise you to buy paint armor for insulation of window slopes outside, any brand is suitable. It is well withstanding the effect of ultraviolet, additionally isolates the opening from heat loss, moisture penetration and partly from foreign sounds. Personally, I applied it to the plaster, but the plastic slope is suitable, the adhesion of this type of insulation is very high. "

Alexey, Moscow region.

"Worked with thermal insulation Armor Antikor last summer, used it to protect ventilation channels and heating pipeline between two houses with a common boiler. I did not notice the flaws from the paint, in my opinion, the coating copes with the task of better than rolled insulation and with it gently looks. "
