Suggested Industrial Applications • Suggested Applications for Corrosion Control: • Heat Exchangers and Piping • Steam and Water Tanks • Fuel Holders and Tanks • Oil and natural gas pipelines • Power Plant Equipment such as, cranes, condensers, metal structures and towers • Suggested Applications for Insulation: • HVAC Ducts • Steam Pipes • Stacks and Towers • Facility buildings • Water pipes and Boilers
Suggested Applications for Homes & Buildings Nansulate can be applied to many surfaces, such as… Drywall Plaster Wood Steel Aluminum Copper Concrete Fiberglass and more… • Walls • Ceilings • Attics • Ductwork
Suggested Automotive Applications Nansulate’s unique thermal insulation abilities offer many opportunities for increased vehicle performance. Increase Engine Performance. THE SOLUTION: Increase engine horsepower and performance by coating various parts with our Nansulate Translucent High Heat product to create a thermal barrier, and reduce heat transfer. Suggested parts include: Intake manifold, Fuel tank, Fuel pump, any others where reduction of heat transfer would be a benefit. Reduce Heat Transfer to Interior of the vehicle. THE SOLUTION: Use of Nansulate on the interior of the chassis and the firewall between the drivers compartment and the engine can help to keep the interior of the car cooler. A cooler vehicle interior reduces the workload of the A/C unit, using less gasoline.
Translucent is as Versatile as Your Design Wood Copper Steel
1. Thin Film Insulation Nansulate is a patented product, offering unique benefits not possible in a thin film coating until now. Nansulate can be applied in a variety of tight spaces and to a number of components to keep heat transfer to a minimum, thus increasing energy efficiency. The active ingredient of Nansulate is Hydro-NM-Oxide, a product of nanotechnology.
How It Works NanoParticle Conduction Knudsen Effect Thermal conduction through the solid portion of the particle is hindered by the tiny size of the connections (tunnels). Thermal transfer occurs through a complicated maze and the gas molecules within the matrix experience the Knudsen Effect, and the exchange of energy is virtually eliminated. The energy of the ball bounced through the tunnel is decreased sooner than the energy of the ball bounced outside the tunnel The insulating component of Nansulate is Hydro-NM-Oxide, a product of nanotechnology. The particle’s thermal conductivity is a very low 0.017 W/mK, which means it is not a good conductor of thermal energy, and that in turn means it is an excellent insulator.
Energy Savings Testing Two identical wooden boxes were furnished with incandescent lamps and thermocouples at the same positions inside the boxes. One box was coated with 3 coats of Nansulate GP on all surfaces inside and outside. At an ambient temperature of 13C (55F), both heating elements were switched on and temperatures were noted against time. 40C (104F) was reached in 45 minutes by the coated box, 85 minutes by the uncoated. The uncoated box could not reach 42C (108F)
2. Corrosion Prevention Nansulate offers the unique combination of corrosion prevention and insulation combined into a single coating. Nansulate solves the age-old problem of CUI (corrosion under Insulation), while offering a translucent finish that allows for ultrasound and visual inspections without need for removal. Nansulate has passed the rigorous GM9540P Accelerated Corrosion Test at 24 cycles.
GM 9540P Accelerated Corrosion Test The GM9540P has been adopted as the leading environmental corrosion test that is used universally by the Military, Auto and Heavy Process Industries because it replicates many of the worst-case environments. The cyclic process refers to the repeated changes in test conditions, ideally to replicate the changing environments where the product will be used. Passing 8 cycles of the test is considered standard for an anti-corrosive coating. 24 Cycles passed, No red rust present
3. Mould Resistance Nansulate is resistant to existing mold growth as well as resistant to new mould growth. Nansulate does not contain any potentially harmful anti-fungal agents or mouldicides. It is water-based and non-toxic. Nansulate provides a comprehensive solution for building owners who want to protect their assets from mould growth, and for commercial homebuilders who wish to offer a mould resistant solution to their customers.
Mould Resistance Testing EMSL Analytical, Inc., one of the nation's leading testing laboratories, compared mould growth on wooden surfaces coated with Nansulate™ HomeProtect to surfaces with no coating. Both were exposed to spore-producing bacteria, including Pencillium funiculosum, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Chaetomium globosum, and Trichoderma virens. After four weeks, Nansulate™ HomeProtect exhibited zero or minimal mould growths, whereas the uncoated surfaces showed extreme to 100 percent mould coverage. The testing was conducted by EMSL Analytical, Inc., an AIHA accredited laboratory, and conformed to guidelines defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials in ASTM D 5590, "Standard Test Method for Determining the Resistance of Paint Films and Related Coatings to Fungal Defacement by Accelerated Four-Week Agar Plate Assay," and ASTM G21, "Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi."
Customer Feedback “I applied four coats of Nansulate on the copper pipe coming out of our tankless water heater. Two months after the application, the pipe feels warm instead of hot to the touch when we run the water. It also cuts the time for warm water to get to a faucet if we have run it recently, because water stays warm in the pipes longer than before. I also applied Nansulate to the hot air ducts that come out of our furnace. Our furnace room is vented to the outside, so warmth in the ducts would escape into the room between each furnace run, and the fan would blow the cold air into the house every time the furnace came on. Two months after applying Nansulate GP to the ducts, there is no initial blast of cold air from the vents when the furnace kicks on, unless the system has not run for several hours. Application in this project was easy and appears to be durable…” Paul Roundy, Colorado Insulation Solution
Customer Feedback "We used Nansulate paint last year to paint a 5m³ heated stainless steel tank which is positioned outdoors at a company in Cobden. This tank is used for melting butterfat. We achieved a measurable difference in the contents of this tank ... The outside of the tank was previously too hot to touch. With three coats of Nansulate applied, the touch was now warm to touch and there was a visual improvement to the melting efficiency of the product inside. We are very happy with the performance of Nansulate and intend on using it to paint future tanks."Regards,David MorabitoProject EngineerUltraspin Technology Pty Ltd5 Monomeeth Drive, Mitcham, VIC, 3132, Australia Energy Solution
Customer Feedback Before: "I painted my container with normal paint. After a time I found much condensation and mould on the wall." Mold Solution After: "After I applied Nansulate to it, I never found condensation and mould again. I was so surprised about it. " From Customer: Young Guak of Teague, Korea
