Liquid thermal insulation of the facade
The issue of outdoor insulation is becoming increasingly important every year. Because of this, new developments and technologies constantly appear on the building materials market, each of which has more advantages than the previous ones. So, among the latest developments can be distinguished liquid insulation, which is easy to apply, at the same time, it has greater efficiency when compared with other traditional methods of thermal insulation. Innovative liquid insulation of the facade immediately after the appearance on the market has gained great popularity.
Main brands of thin heat insulator
Liquid insulation is used for external insulation. It can be used for both domestic and industrial applications. In most cases, it is used for warming a house or apartment. So, in specialized stores you can find a fairly large assortment, among which the most common brands are:
- «Astratek»;
- «corundum Фасад»;
- "Teplometh";
- "Teplokor";
- "Isollat" and many others.
For example, the manufacturer introduces special surfactants into the composition of Isollate. Due to this, the applied coating gets the effect of “self-washing” paint. In other words, during rains, all unnecessary things (dust and dirt) will be washed off the walls.
In addition, you can find several brands with a class of flammability "NG", which are non-combustible modifications. Some of them are considered flame retardant materials due to their ability to withstand high temperatures. These include:
- «corundum Вулкан»;
- "AKTERM Fireproof";
- «AKTERM NG».
Many experts question the effectiveness of the use of liquid insulation for the entire facade, but they prefer to use it when processing slopes and other hard-to-reach places.
Обратите внимание! Жидкую теплоизоляцию марки «corundum Фасад» можно наносить на различные виды поверхностей, даже на фасады деревянных домов.
Teplokraska - ultrathin liquid insulation
Innovative material teplokraska, intended to create a thin energy-saving layer on various surfaces. For applying paint, you can use any traditional methods:
- rollers;
- tassels;
- sprayers (airless).
During drying, the polymerization process occurs, thereby forming an elastic matte surface, which has unique thermal characteristics. Thus, the applied layer will play the role of "thermal mirror", that is, the wall of the house will receive a stable temperature barrier.
When buying teplokraski it is necessary to carefully study the composition. It should include such mandatory components as:
- Fillers. Presented in the form of microscopic balls of ceramics, glass and polymers. The interior of each is filled with rarefied air. Each category of fillers differs in composition, uniformity, size and ratio of incoming components.
- Binders. Produced from polymers (acrylic or latex).
In addition to the main components, various additives are introduced into the heat painting. Their composition and quantity will directly depend on the application. Due to the different components, the material receives various properties, the requirements for the surface and the conditions of application change. So, depending on the purpose of the liquid insulation, several types can be distinguished:
- internal wall insulation;
- external insulation of facades;
- insulation of loggias and balconies;
- insulation of basements and floors;
- reducing heat loss and reducing the cost of air conditioning.
Note! When using modern liquid thermal insulation for facades, not only heat loss is reduced, but also the probability of fungus formation, icing and condensation decreases.
The principle of liquid heat insulation
When using teplokraska there are several ways to transfer heat. So, the most common is thermal conductivity, that is, the transfer of heat from the heated section of the wall to the cold. The paint contains about 20% of binding components that are involved in this process.
Convection is also present (heat transfer by the substances themselves). Due to the careful development of the insulating material, rather small losses are attributed to this process, due to the large presence of hollow balls. The most common principle of radiation, in which heat is transferred by the internal energy of the substance. This process is provided by microscopic balls. They play the role of reflection and heat dissipation.
Note! In the process of radiation warming about 90% goes to the formation of the effect of a thermos on the wall surface.
"Teplokor" - liquid insulation for walls
As mentioned above, a common brand of teplokraska is Teplokor. It is intended for carrying out internal and external warming. Designed on the basis of acrylic polymers, glass-ceramic empty balls, auxiliary substances, as well as various pigments. Due to the last component, Teplokor is presented in a large color spectrum. This brand of liquid insulation has the following advantages:
- highly efficient thermal insulation;
- ease of application to the surface;
- atmospheric stability;
- the possibility of applying to different types and shapes of surfaces;
- fire safety;
- environmental friendliness;
- reducing the likelihood of condensation and mold.
Применять теплокраску марки Teplokor можно для зданий промышленного назначения, домов, квартир, загородных коттеджей, дач, кровли и кровли. Кроме этого жидкий утеплитель подойдет и для внутреннего применения: подвалов, потолков, полов, стен и балконов. Слой краски равномерно наносится на любые виды поверхностей:
- brick;
- tree;
- concrete;
- a rock.
Before proceeding with the application of liquid insulation on the walls, it is necessary to carry out the preparatory work. The old paint layer is cleaned, dirt and dust are removed. For better bonding, it is recommended to use an acrylic-based deep penetration primer. After complete drying, you can proceed to staining, but first mix the material well.
Обратите внимание! Теплокраска «Teplokor» не содержит в себе растворителей, поэтому при работе с ней не требуется проведение специальных мер предосторожности. При попадании краски в глаза достаточно промыть их проточной водой.
Let's hope that the information given in the article will be useful for those who are the first to encounter a novelty on the insulation market. Undoubtedly, liquid insulation for the facade has many advantages. When choosing any brand, you should carefully study not only the composition, but also the instructions for use. This will avoid unwanted results in the form of exfoliation of the applied layer.
