TC Ceramic

Product Description

Chemical Description

Single Component, Waterborne Acrylic Polymer with Silicon Microspheres

Product Usage

TC Ceramic (previously known as Thermal-Coat) is a liquid insulation, consisting of a mixture of various silicon and ceramic beads blended into a high quality acrylic polymer. TC Ceramic is designed to provide both thermal and acoustical insulation for a variety of industrial applications, providing an effective, inexpensive alternative to the high cost of typical insulation systems.  Due to its excellent reflectivity and emissivity, TC Ceramic excels at insulating structures and equipment from radiant energy gain.  99% of the radiant energy that comes in contact with TC Ceramic is either reflected or re-emitted, meaning only 1% of the radiant energy is absorbed.  TC Ceramic also performs very well at protecting personnel from burn hazards on hot or cold structures and equipment.  Because it physically adheres to the surface, TC Ceramic significantly reduces corrosion and rust formation. TC Ceramic is extremely lightweight and pliable, therefore, it expands and contracts with the surface to which it is applied.  The use of TC Ceramic, in place of other insulation, reduces both the space and weight for any given structure or piece of equipment.
