About Insuladd E-Coat
INSULADD® insulating e-coat utilizes the very latest in ceramic micro-spheres technology originally developed by NASA for use on the heat insulating Space Shuttle tiles.
This technology has now been adopted for use in the domestic and industrial environment for insulation needs. Research and development has lead to the production of a light elastomeric liquid solution, which is not only easy to apply to most structures but also capable of reducing the solar loading of very large surfaces in extreme sunlight. In fact INSULADD® insulating e-coat has been shown to reduce heat gain from the sun by up to 40%.
Applications of INSULADD® insulating e-coat
Waterproofing and thermal insulation to new and existing roofs, sidings, and other surfaces on a wide range of substrates such as:
Precast and in-situ concrete
Smooth masonry
Plaster and smooth stucco
Fibre-cement and GRC panels
Sprayed PU foam
Bituminous sheeting and coatings
Galvanised steel and alum sheeting
Fibreglass and plastic water tanks

How INSULADD® e-coat works
INSULADD® insulating coatings contain tiny ceramic microspheres of 30-100 microns in diameter.
The tiny microspheres act as highly efficient thermal barriers, so that when the coating dries, they form an insulating barrier against heat transfer.
The layer is created by the microspheres coming closer together as the coating dries, until they eventually touch each other, forming a single, very thin, thermal insulating barrier.
This barrier reflects, refracts, and dissipates heat, thereby insulating the structure, keeping heat in the structure during the cold months and out of the structure during the hot months.
As they are true microspheres, the ceramic particles do not add weight but increase the strength of the insulating coating. This helps to keep down the weight loading on the structure being coated.
Insuladd has ceramic micro-spheres which
create a thermal barrier. They refract, reflect and
dissipate heat. Below is a typical surface where
Insuladd e-coat has been applied.
Advantages of INSULADD® e-coat insulating roof coating over current roof coatings:
Energy Savings - INSULADD® insulating e-coat can save up to 40% on energy costs.
Labour Savings - Insuladd insulating e-coat is applied by paint brush, roller, and paint spray gun and does not require any specialist equipment. The time needed to coat the structure is also reduced, as a single coat of INSULADD® e-coat dries in 2-3 hours for recoating.
Lightweight - INSULADD® insulating e-coat provides the thermal properties required for insulating, but has a mass of only 0.73kg/m². Being much lighter than traditional insulation boards and insulating batting, it is ideally suited to areas such as lightweight roofs, or thin sheet panels that would not be able to withstand any large weight loading the more traditional insulation forms would add.
Superior Flexibility– INSULADD® insulating e-coat can flex over a wide temperature range (even bend 90° at -37°C). Its durability and flexibility makes it ideal for surfaces that will bend or move through flexing or expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling. It will elongate, bend, and recover with the surface without cracking or flaking, thus ensuring that the surface will remain coated and protected at all times.
Ultraviolet Blocker- INSULADD® insulating e-coat blocks solar ultraviolet radiation allowing less harmful UV rays to reach the living and working areas of a building.

Uses of INSULADD® Insulating Coatings:
INSULADD® light insulating e-coat is ideal for areas that will be subjected to moisture, as it is a waterproof coating and will not only insulate, but also protect against moisture ingress. The elastomeric coating is ideally suited for areas that will flex, such as steel sided buildings, steel roofs, or boat hulls. INSULADD® Insulating Coatings are effective in both hot and cold climates, reducing cooling and heating demands by enhancing a structure's insulating capacity. They are safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. INSULADD® Insulating Coatings can be used to quickly and easily insulate buildings and structures that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible to insulate with more traditional insulation methods.
