Description

Developed from NASA technology, HY-TECH ceramic insulating paint additive is a fine, white powder blend of high strength ceramic "microspheres". Each single ceramic microsphere is so small that it looks to the naked eye as if it is a single grain of flour, (slightly thicker than a human hair). When mixed into paint the painted surface dries to a tightly packed layer of the hard, hollow "microspheres", (Hy-Tech's exclusive CVM, ceramic vacuum matrix technology.) The tightly packed film reflects and dissipates heat by minimizing the path for the transfer of heat. The ceramics are able to reflect, refract and block heat radiation (loss or gain) and dissipate heat rapidly preventing heat transfer through the coating with as much as 90% of solar infrared rays and 85% of ultra violet-rays being radiated back into the atmosphere. Hy-Tech insulating additive is completely inert and can be mixed into ANY paint, coating or composite including interior house paint, exterior house paint, roof paint, solvent base coating, epoxy, urethane, high temperature paint, elastomerics, mastics etc. The addition of the ceramics to any material provides heat reflection, insulation, improved fire resistance, and lower heating / cooling costs. We recommend that surfaces have at LEAST two coats of paint containing ceramics to get results. This is based on the small size of the ceramics and the need to have then distributed evenly on a surface. More coats will produce better results. Package size represents the amount of paint that package will treat. For example the "1 gallon package" will treat 1 gallon of paint. The "5 gallon package" will treat 5 gallons of paint, etc.

  • about 10 -15 degree drop
Size Name: 1 gallon package
This stuff does help. I have a block wall which faces west in phoenix az. I tested several areas one with white paint, one white with additive and one the medium brown of the original house color. Original house was 148 degrees plus the white alone dropped temp 20 degrees and finally the white with one coat of additive dropped temp by 30 degrees . at 10 to 15 extra dollars per gallon I figure here in the hottest city in the country its gonna be well worth the money even if its on 10 - 15 degrees. With our insane heat and an uninsulated block wall every bit helps! ... show more

  • It works!
Size Name: 1 gallon package
So I have a sun room that was an after thought built on. They put no insulation in the ceiling. Just plywood, beams and roll roof. To say in Texas 108 degrees- my sunroom was unbearable. Could not even touch the ceiling. I bought this and paint my ceiling. It’s 109 today and perfect to see if it works. Let me tell you. It works. I used almost a gallon and put a heavy coat on. It is t even hot to touch the ceiling. I am amazed. I could not believe it. Crazy good. ... show more

  • It Works
Size Name: 12 gallon package
Tried one gallon of this company's RC233 paint (one thick coat) on top of cheap unpainted lean to tin roof on side of my shed where I work. Before application could not touch bottom side of tin on a 100 degree day, was measuring 125 F to 135 F depending on where Temp gun was pointed. Next day,..after RC233 application temps dropped to 105 F and could hold my hand on underside indefinitely. Next, I mixed their powder as instructed into 5 gallons of 100% silicone roof coating (white) and applied one thick coat to both top and bottom sides of my 20' x 30' metal carport that I'm enclosing to convert to a cabin. Metal roof was factory painted white and before application was 120 F to 125 F,..after application temp dropped to 105 F on a 103 F day. A month later on 105 F day was adding wood to square metal rafter tubing inside carport and touched my bald head to roof metal many times without burning. Am hoping this application will will stop condensation from forming on underside of roof in winter temps of 35 F to 40 F. UPDATE 1/7/2021: After a heavy rain, have had two days so far where dew point was in the low 40 and high 30 degree range. ALL uncoated tin roof structures were literally raining condensation from underneath, BUT the metal carport roof that I coated on both top and bottom with their insulating ceramic paint additive powder was amazingly BONE DRY undernneath. Not one drop of water condensation was on ground nor could any be felt by hand when touching bottom of roof tin. As a side note,..dont know if this had anything to do with the successful end result but the silicone on top side was white and bottom side was dark brown. I noticed last summer (after the top side was coated white) that applying the brown to the bottom side increased temp readings 10 to 12 degrees above the previously uncoated bottom side temp. Probably not color related but rather metal roof being sandwiched with the insulating properties of the additive in silicone coating. Now I can finish my 'carbin' project without the worry of condensation dripping on to insulation and cedar boards! ... show more

  • This works
Size Name: 2 gallon package
I live in a 98 year old house. I didn’t want to cover up the wains coating in the kitchen. I painted it with this absolutely a difference. The wall feels much less cold. I also painted my screen door both sides with this as I leave my door open and the screen door has a dog door to let my dog in and out definitely helped on that part of the screen door I also put some styrofoam insulation with an aluminium coating on it, I primed the Styrofoam, insulating material and then painted it with this. I was surprised that the paint stuck to that insulating material as it was very slick, but it did, and that part of the door is not losing heat at all I think. This stuff is well worth it. I think. It really isn’t a suede finish is more a fine sandpaper finish. I am also going to try to add some of this to a clear outdoor vera thane to paint the windows on my screen door. I don’t care if I see out them as it will probably make them obscure I will another review see how that comes out. ... show more

We used this to paint the inside ceiling of our garage because the bedrooms above it are always so hot in the summer. Holy crap, it actually worked. Noticable difference after two coats. Planning to do a third coat later.

  • Dirty and loosely packaged. No idea how well it works...will have to test
Size Name: 12 gallon package
The box is 9"x 11" x 9.5" and probably 85% full. Packed in a bag placed in a box. A warning about blades would have been nice.
