E-COAT MSDS and Application Specs
Insulating Elastomeric Wall Coating


What is Insuladd e-coat?
Insuladd e-coat is an elastomeric, energy saving, flexible 100% waterbased acrylic coating. When applied as directed, this product bridges minor surface imperfections, protects against driving rain, provides out-standing durability, and offers long lasting protection, as well as offering energy saving in both cold and hot climates.

About Insuladd e-coat
Insuladd™ e-coat utilises the very latest in ceramic micro-spheres technology originally developed by NASA for use on the space shuttle tiles.

This technology has now been adopted for use in the domestic and industrial environment. Research and development has lead to the production of a light elastomeric liquid solution, which is not only easy to apply to most structures but also capable of reducing the solar loading of very large surfaces in extreme sunlight. In fact Insuladd e-coat has been shown to reduce heat gain from the sun by up to 40%.



Applications of Insuladd e-coat Waterproofing and thermal insulation to new and existing roofs, sidings, and other surfaces on a wide range of substrates such as;

bulletPrecast and in-situ concrete
bulletSmooth masonry
bulletPlaster and smooth stucco
bulletFibre-cement and GRC panels
bulletSprayed PU foam
bulletBituminous sheeting and coatings
bulletGalvanised steel and alum sheeting
bulletFibreglass and plastic water tanks
bulletMost previously painted surfaces

How Insuladd e-coat works.
Insuladd insulating coatings contain tiny ceramic micro-spheres of 30–100 microns in diameter.

The tiny microspheres act as highly efficient thermal barriers , so that when the coating dries, they form a barrier against heat transfer.

The layer is created by the microspheres coming closer together as the coating dries, until they eventually touch each other forming a single, very thin, thermal barrier.

This barrier reflects, refracts and dissipates heat, thereby keeping heat in a structure during the cold months and out of the structure during the hot months.

As they are true microspheres, the ceramic particles do not add weight but increase the strength of the coating. This helps to keep down the weight loading on the structure being coated.



Insuladd has ceramic micro-spheres which create a thermal barrier. They refract, reflect and dissipate heat. Below is a typical surface where Insuladd e-coat has been applied.

Advantages over current roof coatings
Energy Savings - Insuladd e-coat can save up to 40% on energy costs

Labour Savings - Insuladd e-coat is applied by paint brush, roller and spray gun and does not require any specialist equipment. The time needed to coat the structure is also reduced, as a single coat dries in 2-3 hours for recoating.

Lightweight - Insuladd e-coat provides the thermal properties required but has a mass of only 0.73kg/m². Being much lighter than traditional insulation boards, it is ideally suited to areas that would not be able to withstand any large weight loading, such as lightweight roofs or thin sheet panels.

Superior Flexibility– Insuladd e-coat can flex over a wide temperature range (even bend 90° at -37°C). Its durability and flexibility makes it ideal for surfaces that will bend or move through flexing or expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling. It will elongate, bend and recover with the surface without cracking or flaking, thus ensuring that the surface will remain coated and protected at all times.

Ultraviolet Blocker- Insuladd e-coat blocks solar ultraviolet radiation allowing less harmful UV rays to reach the living and working areas of a building.

Uses of Insuladd Insulating Coatings
Insuladd light insulating e-coat is ideal for areas that will be subjected to moisture as it is a waterproof coating and will not only insulate, but also protect against moisture ingress. The elastomeric coating is ideally suited for areas that will flex, such as steel sided buildings or steel roofs, boat hulls. The coatings are effective in both hot and cold climates, reducing the cooling and heating demands, they are safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Insuladd Insulating Coatings can be used to quickly and easily insulate buildings and structures that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible to insulate with more traditional methods.

The technology that we use in our ceramic insulating paints and additives is not as simple as it may appear. We participated in a NASA Technology exchange program in 1996 to develop the INSULADD line of products. Many of our competitors thought that our product sounded like a great idea and have attempted to duplicate not only our products but our claims to NASA participation. As you will see from the information on our website, we have numerous ASTM tests, NIL SPEC tests, Energy Star Certification, and international approvals from a number of foreign countries, Please look for proper independent test data to support the claims made by manufacturers of products like ours.
