TECHNOLOGY
SUPERSHIELD THERMOKOTE system works with the implementation of common physics principles of reflectivity, conductivity and emissivity. 
Thermokote is highly efficient, energy saving, flexible coating developed from the advanced resins filled with supershield formulated vacuumed multi ceramic molecules. Thermokote uses a technology similar to the insulation tiles used in the space shuttles to withstand the re-entry heat.
How THERMOKOTE Insulates
Supershield formulated vacuumed multi ceramic molecules used in THERMOKOTE are tiny spheres(< 100 microns) with a wall thickness of about 1/10th of the sphere diameter, a compressive strength of about 300 PSI and a softening point of about 24000 C with reasonable chemical resistant , non-combustible property and poor heat conductivity.
Supershield formulated ceramic molecules are microscopic hollow vacuum spheres that resist thermal conductivity and suppress noise as the physics law states that nothing can move by conduction through a vacuum, since it represents an absence of matter.
Once the coating is applied and cured to membrane the hollow microspheres in the coating shrink down tight as the water evaporates creating a layer of sealed cells. This layer acts as a thermal barrier covering the entire structure.
With the unique characteristics of these microspheres, supershield coating easily blocks 95% of radiant heat and as much as 99% of ultra-violet rays. When this 95% of solar heat getting into the building is blocked, the 5 % of heat that enters is handled by the microspheres with its high dissipation and no conductivity character.THERMOKOTE when used in the interior walls will insulate and prevent loss of heat or cold generated inside the building in the similar manner.

THERMOKOTE attacks heat or cold penetration even before it enters the substrate. This allows the coating to deal with the thermal transfer as a problem and not as a symptom after it has already made way into your facility.
How THERMOKOTE Waterproofs
THERMOKOTE coating produces a "Cross
Linking Structure" which makes the coating stronger over time thereby increasing the bonding properties with the substrate and within itself. This way the coating gains excellent water ponding capabilities, strength, UV resistance, longevity and flexibility. CLS provides great adhesion with minimal expansion and contraction on substrates like wood, brick, concrete etc.
CLS of THERMOKOTE blocks water but allows it to evaporate in the form of vapor (Variable Permeability), this prevents the membrane from bristling when the sun heat pulls moisture out of the surface. The CLS Provide excellent dirt picking resistance and tensile strength which can very well take the foot traffic.
