SUPER THERM® | Defeating the theory of ( R ) Heat Reflection, not absorption |  In conventional insulation, the measurement of resistance is based upon the transference of heat through an insulation material. This measurement is known as ( R ). Insulation materials that use this guide of resistance are a means to temper heat, but also require thickness. The thicker the material, the slower the time will be to absorb and eventually transfer the heat from the external source into the insulated environment. These materials allow a 100% loading of surface heat facing the heat source.
Super Therm® does not absorb heat and, therefore, does not require thickness-effectively eliminating a measurement of ( R ) value. Super Therm® is blend of ceramic compounds that, when applied to a surface, will reflect heat away from protected areas. Super Therm® only allows a 5% heat load of the surface facing the heat source. | | | SUPER THERM® | - Has a reflective value of 95%, effectively blocking all three windows of heat-infra red, visual light and UV (infrared emissivity rating of 0.901 to repel surface load)
- Creates moisture barrier to resist conden-sation, mold and mildew (ASTM 7088;9/10 per Buckman Laboratories)
- Has a class A fire- “0” flame and smoke. Resist fire and chemical provides insulation, and corrosion protection
- Out-performs fiberglass, cellulose, filler and polystyrene foam.
- UL, FM, ABS and USDA approved
- ICC approved, CRRC Listing-selected Energy Star® with only a 0.6% drop in three years (less than 1% loss of reflectivity on the same roof area after three years weathering
- Is a water-based coating that is VOC complied
- Reduces surface maintenance with 15+ years of expected wear
- Approved water barrier under ASTM testing D6904 and D7088
|  | The composition of Super Therm® makers it superior solution in insulation requirements. Super Therm® is a combination of high-performance aliphatic urethanes, elastomeric acrylics, and resin additives in a water-borne formula. Supers Therm® has four different ceramics, used to block 95% of the three sources of heat-visible light, ultra violet rays and infrared rays. Super Therm® creates a permanently flexible “breathing” membrane that also stops a water penetrations to help in the prevention of corrosion an surface deterioration (ASTM Tested)
| Beating the Heat : Subject: Metal roof in Sevilla, Spain; temperature reading taken 8:00 am and 2:00 pm to determine increase of heat load from the coolest of the day to the hottest. Super Therm® was applied at the beginning of the 6th day (shown on chart). A noticeable change is recorded on subsequent readings, indicating a leveling of temperature between the morning and afternoon interior readings compared to the consistent exterior temperature readings (private industry test data). | | | NASA validates Super Therm®

If the heat loss by the body takes place in empty space, the only way in which the body can lose heat is through radiation, in that case its radiated energy flux will bi equal to the absorbed flux.
Reflectivity = 1 – Absortivity
What this means is that if all energy is reflected, no energy is left to be absorbed.
Absortivity = Emissivity
What this means is that only the absorbed energy is emitted
 So if there were no absorption of energy there would be no emission of energy either.
…As a point of reference, emissivity refers to the properties of a material; emittance to the properties of a particular object that depend on the shape of the object, oxidation and surface finish. As an example, if shiny metal surface which has a low emissivity is oxidated and gets dirty, its emissivity remains the same but its emittance becomes very high.”
- Inn Choi, Phd.
>Super Therm® reflects 95% of all radiation allowing only 5% heat load. Super Therm® repels (throws off) 90% of the 5% heat load from the surface.”
