    Super Therm Ceramic Paint Insulation

    Developed in conjunction with a division of NASA, this technology contains several ceramic components. When applied as a coating to walls, roofs, etc., it will provide a non-toxic, non-flammable, durable coating that keeps heat out. The coating is water based and environmentally friendly. It is applied in spray or roller form.

    Super Therm® Insulation Coating Solutions

    Super Therm®is our best-selling solar heat block insulation coating that has been proven by case studies from around worldwide. It is the ultimate solution that provides insulation and heat reflection to prevent heat transfer.

    Super Therm® has been tested and proven to be an effective Energy Conservation Measure(ECM) by many multi-national organizations and governments worldwide, which have applied millions of square meters since its release in 1989. In addition, it has continued to deliver long-lasting, award-winning, and sustainable results for over 30 years.

    The benefits of using Super Therm® are extensive, including:

    ● Significant surface temperature differences
    ● Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
    ● Increased thermal efficiency
    ● Reduced maintenance costs
    ● Increased occupant comfort

    Line of Insulation Coatings

    Volta Coatings energy-saving solutions are designed to help clients achieve maximum energy efficiency. The company offers a wide range of advanced coatings to help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy consumption.

    Tame the Sun with Super Therm® – Case Studies

    Super Therm® is a revolutionary coating that has proven highly effective in reducing solar heat absorption. Countless case studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this coating.

    Used by Multi-national Organizations and Governments

    Super Therm® is not just for commercial buildings. The coating has been used in various applications, including shipping containers, marine vessels and even NASA spacecraft. Multi-national organizations and governments have also adopted Super Therm® as a way to lower their carbon foot print.

    Florida Solar Heat Block Coatings Test – Department of Energy

    In 2005, the Department of Energy conducted a study to test the effectiveness of SuperTherm®. The study found that the coating reduced the temperature of the test surface by up to 110°F, resulting in a 50% reduction in energy consumption. The coating also helped extend the roof's life by reducing the amount of heat it was exposed to.

    Denver Solar Heat Block Coatings Test – Department of Energy

    In 2008, the Department of Energy conducted another study to test the effectiveness of Super Therm coating against white paint, this time in Denver CO on a cloudy day. The study found that the Super Therm assembly out performed the white paint, resulting in a 30% reduction in energy consumption, even on a cloudy day.

    The coating also helped reduce expansion and contraction as well the amount of UV radiation the roof was exposed to, which helped extend its life of the building materials.

    Super Therm® Field Retrofitted Shipping Containers Test

    Tests have also been completed on retrofitted shipping containers. In one study, the company retro fitted a shipping container with Super Therm® and monitored its performance over two weeks. The study found that the coating reduced the temperature of the container's interior by up to 15°F, resulting in a 38% reduction in energy consumption.

    Volta Coatings is committed to providing cutting-edge solutions to help our clients reduce their energy footprint and save money.

    Our coatingsare backed by solid data and real-world case studies, demonstrating their effectiveness around the world.



    Letters of Recommendation

    "After meeting your company at the Off Shore Arabia Conference in April 2010, we decided to use Rust Grip on the deck of our ABS Class vessel Mubarak Challenger. It has now been over a year, and there are still no signs of corrosion development as originally promised by your company."

    "We also coated the roof of the engine room with Super Therm to reduce heat and sound transfer to the upper living quarters. Additionally we used 3mm of Hot Surface Coating to reduce the surface temperature of the hot pipes running throughout the engine room. Both Super Therm and Hot Surface Coating have done exactly what you promised, and continue to perform under extreme marine environments."

    "We look forward to using the same products on other vessels in the near future."

    "Have carried out the surface temperature measurement as per given instruction. Temp. Instrument used - IR thermometer (as the most handy)"

    Three decks coated with different paint have been measured at 13.00hrs on surfaces exposed to direct sunlight and the readings are as follow:

    According to your request please find the following:
    Outside temp 93.2°F

    1. Red standard paint (ship’s port wing) – 133.52°F
    2. Monkey island standard white paint – 112.28°F/104.54°F underneath surface from bridge compartment
    3. Super Therm paint (above C/E cabin) – 107.6°F/82.94°F underneath surface from C/E cabin

    Our Observations:
    Although only D-deck and C-deck tops have been coated with SuperTherm there is a significant temp. difference in the cabins, which are fully exposed to sunlight. It would be better effect of course if such product could be used on accommodation bulkheads too. In my personal opinion it was a right decision to apply such H-Tech coat.

    "Further to our discussion, this letter will confirm the occurrences in Kirkland, Quebec, at our existing twin sheet ice arena. In October of 1998 we applied 7 dry mils of Super Therm ceramic insulation coating to the exterior of our stress skin metal building. Everyone in Kirkland was skeptical that the product would insulate the building due to the harsh climate. After two years of operations I was convinced to insulate the building with standard insulation to see if the hydro and gas costs would be reduced. The building has now been in operation for a further two years and I can tell you that the hydro and gas bill did not change at all. The application of $30,000 of additional insulation did nothing. This of course re-affirmed my faith in your product and I have decided to use it on our Surrey expansion and all other future ice arena development.

    I extend my personal thanks and appreciation for your support of the Air Force Renewable Energy Symposium in Tucson on June 28 and 29th. The Air Force is committed to be a leader in developing and using renewable energy to support our mission and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. We can only meet this objective with the involvement and support of a wide range of government, regulatory and renewable industry leadership. Your presentation on Innovative Use of Ceramic Coatings to Alter the Approach to Building Heat Gain was very informative and valuable to our efforts."
