What is Super Therm ® ?
Super Therm ® is a thermal barrier ceramic coating Super Therm® is a ceramic based, water borne, thermal barrier coating that is designed to block and reflect heat that decreases energy and maintenance cost. As the only ceramic coating developed in cooperation with NASA, Super Therm® is the most effective, durable, and long lasting ceramic coating on the market.
What makes Super Therm ® unique ?
Average Energy Savings 30%
Heat Sources from the Sun 57% 40%
How much Infrared, Visible Light, and Ultraviolet heat does Super Therm ® block?
Percentage of heat that is blocked by Super Therm ® Infrared 99.5% Visible Light 92% Ultraviolet 99%
Definitions Solar Reflectivity - Amount of incoming solar energy a material reflects (usually in a %) Emissivity – Amount of energy a material emits due to its own heat and temperature (usually in %) Sun Roof Reflected Emitted
Fear of glare Super Therm ® produces diffused reflections, not secular reflections Roof SecularDiffuse

Why is Super Therm ® preferred over other products?
Super Therm ® has a unique ceramic composition Blend of four different ceramics that block all windows of heat transfer. Other ceramic coatings only contain glass hollow spheres that reflect visual light when clean but absorb and transfer other windows of heat. Only ceramic coating rated as an insulator by BOCA (Us Building Code) Includes various resins, including urethanes for durability and longevity
