SUPER THERM CERAMIC INSULATION COATING SUPERTHERM OUTPERFORMS PAINT

BUYER BEWARE!!! Not all CERAMIC INSULATION COATINGS are created equal! There is also a vast difference between an insulating coating and a "reflective paint". As with any and all world class technology there will inevitably be cheap imitations that will claim to do the same or better and cost half the price. These companies put up pictures of Space Shuttles and slick statements on their web site to lead one to believe they use the same technology as NASA. While our competitors may be able to spell NASA, they've never been there ( NASA TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ). You can't just throw some ceramic ( usually cheap Perlite or other reflective ceramic ) into some kind of paint and say " ME TOO ". Some will even go so far as to sell mere bags of ceramic powder to the unsuspecting public with the notion that the user would simply add this to their own paint and get the same results. These cheap imitations are making exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims that have resulted in lawsuits by the Federal Trade Commission against KRYTON COATINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC. and PROCRAFT, INC. in the United States and against Para Inc. by the Competition Bureau in Canada! When pressed for documentation ( ie. ASTM ) from certified testing facilities to back up these claims however they are unable to produce any or at best produce some hokey unrecognized and unaccredited test they designed themselves and conducted by unaccredited NON THERMAL labs following the customers directions. These kinds of practices unfortunately hurt the legitimate product as we have seen because it's the bad news that people will always remember.

The product that was developed from NASA-aided research is known as SUPERTHERM ® . Since the development of the product, SUPER THERM ® has been in extensive field testing to judge its effectiveness beginning in 1990 until present. Uses have ranged from applying to metal building roofing, homes, industrial furnaces, oceangoing vessels, from tropical climates to Alaskan freezes, from normal weathering to the inside of acid-burning furnaces, from the UAE to the Pacific Rim and as far away as Russia and Japan ( 70% market share ).

THESE MULTI ~ CERAMIC INSULATION COATINGS
ADDRESS ALL THREE MODES OF
HEAT TRANSFER!

REPEL RADIATED HEAT~REFLECT CONVECTED HEAT~RESIST CONDUCTED HEAT

SUPERTHERM ® consists of a specially tuned compound of 4-different ceramics thermo-dynamically tuned to cover the IR, UV, & Visible Light Spectrum, the Thermal Spectrum from -40°-F to 450°-F; as well as 68% of the Sound Spectrum! SUPERTHERM ® is a Thermal Barrier NOT a Thermal Absorbent! It stops the thermal vibration continuance by its ultra low density. Fiberglass & Foam Insulation are NOT a thermal barrier, they absorb heat until they are saturated then discharges the built up heat into a structure!

UNLIMITED APPLICATIONS :
There are few limits to the application possibilities for ceramic insulation coatings. They qualify for anywhere from 2 - 14 points on the LEED ( Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ) rating system. They can be used on metal substrates such as mobile homes, livestock barns, grain bins and oil tanks, refrigeration units, trucks etc., to help reduce the HEAT LOAD \ LOSS by as much as 25°- 40° Heat Lamp Video Clip (0.7mb). This translates into reduced heating \ cooling needs, less loss of animal life due to escalating ambient temperatures, greater protection for storage contents, greater comfort and increased productivity for personnel and greater life expectancy for the structure itself. Other substrates likewise, enjoy greatly reduced temperatures, from metal pipes in the industrial field to the concrete surrounding the family swimming pool - anything that people come in contact with. Additionally, as part of a roofing system, there is no comparison for SUPER THERM ®'s ability to withstand basic weathering for 20 - 25 years minimum, resisting everything from the normal stresses of expansion \ contraction, to hail stones, to ponding water, to UV's. Besides normal insulation uses, the combination of RUSTGRIP ® and SUPERTHERM ® , can survive exposure to the inner workings of an acid incinerator to stop the heat and dripping acids from corroding the steel walls. All this with a USDA-approved, environmentally safe formula that lends itself to possibilities limited only by one's intellect and imagination.

Heavy Industry:
In the US, Hoechst-Celanese Chemical Plant in Houston, Texas had been having problems with keeping their hazardous waste incinerators ( operating @ 1600F ) on-line due to the heat and dripping unburned acids ( during the cooling on shut down ). The combination of heat, condensation and unburned acids caused the bottom of the incinerator to totally corrode, forcing complete replacement approximately every 4-6 months. Costs exceeded $.25 million USD per shut down for repairs and lost production which occurred twice per year. The engineer decided to try using our RUSTGRIP primer and then SUPERTHERM ® as the top coat at 30 mils DFT to protect the skin of the incinerator from the heat and effects of the condensation and acid. They were applied in February 1992, and to this date, has not required downtime due to corrosion of the skin. During this time period, approximately $6 million USD has been saved in downtime alone by using the designed protective coating system. SUPER THERM ® was tested and approved by Ontario Hydro in Ontario, Canada as the most effective insulator available for their tanks, pipes and buildings. Infrared video was filmed showing the effectiveness of SUPERTHERM ®'s insulation ability over fiberglass, polyester foam, white paint and other types of conventional insulation by visually demonstrating the escape of heat for the protected surface. SUPER THERM ® outperformed all other insulation materials. The blast furnace door at the GVRD waste incinerator was coated with 28 mils DFT of SUPERTHERM ® to bring the surface temperature down from 150C to 70C to meet Canadian codes for any surface exposed to human contact. After coating but before full cure a check was made with the computerized control room and the operator immediately cut back the jets due to the increased heat retention again paying for itself in reduced energy consumption.

Recreational Facilities:
As reported in Rink Magazine SUPER THERM ® is substantially reducing utility costs on various arenas.

As stated by director Dwayne Lowdermilk, National Training Rinks ( pre-engineered stress skin metal structure ) experienced a " 30% reduction in utility costs, which we sure appreciate ".

As noted by Kirk Fisher, P. Eng. , MBA, and the Development Manager for the Lark Group, the application of $30,000 of bulk insulation ( foam ) at the Excellent Ice facility ( pre-engineered stress skin metal structure ) located in Kirland, PQ and " the gas and hydro bill didn't change at all ". The SUPERTHERM ® was doing all the work and consequently it is specified on the Surrey, BC expansion and all other ice arena developments.

On the Alberni Valley Multiplex ( tilt up concrete ) a system of SUNSHIELD 2000 ® and SUPER THERM ® was applied. In May 2002 the first year audit was completed on this facility and of special interest was the fact that the cycles on the compressors were far below expectations thus resulting in major energy savings as well as longer life for the equipment itself!

At the Bonaire Golf Club the application of SUPERTHERM ® " saved the purchase of another air conditioner plus all it's related energy and maintenance costs, plus we are using the existing two units less and our building is more comfortable. Your product will help Ontario's energy problem. "

Manufacturing Facilities:
To date more than 5 million square feet of roofing has been protected in Japan alone using SUPER THERM ® for such companies as Canon, Hitachi, Kirin Brewery, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Sony, Sumitomo, to name a few. Sony Engineering group conducted field studies at the Koda factory and determined that the kW usage was reduced from 3,764 kW in May 1994 to 519 kW in May 1995 a reduction of 3,248 kW or 86%. The kW usage in June 1994 was 5,647 kW which was reduced to 1,869 kW in June 1995 which was a reduction of 3,778 kW. This resulted in a payback of 13 months. As a consequence SUPER THERM ® was specified on their new 700,000 square foot facility in Malaysia.

SUPERTHERM ® was applied on a manufacturing facility in Kansas that was experiencing a great deal of difficulty in cooling various unconditioned buildings of the factory due to variance in size and significant volume. The results were an immediate reduction by 12 degrees Fahrenheit on the lower levels, with an even greater reduction to the attic storage and overhead work zones on the second story. This temperature reduction enabled the facility to utilize simple ceiling fans for cooling during the summer months, and thereby lowering the overall expense of energy.

Transportation Industry:
SUPERTHERM ® is being applied in numerous areas in the Transportation Industry. It is reducing the fuel consumption on Reefer units by 30%. It is being applied to all the UPS trucks. It is specified by Vancouver Shipyards on all new construction to control condensation such as all the passageways on the new Kootenay Lake Ferry. It is applied to the interior of yachts for acoustical insulation as well as to increase comfort. It was also applied to the exterior superstructure of an oil tanker for thermal control.

Oil Fields:
After testing against all known reflective coatings in Japan, Korea and the USA, Cosmo Trade and Service Company Ltd. - a multibillion dollar concern in Japan - contacted Superior Products International II, Inc. to sign exclusive sales agreements for Japan, and is currently representing Superior's products into China and Russia. Representation to date has also been signed with India, Oman, Qatar and Iran through an Indian-based engineering group. SUPER THERM ® in combination with bulk insulation is being tested on the Russian pipelines as an insulator in order to maintain internal heat, to reduce the melting threat to the tundra, and to aid in the flow of crude oil through severe winters. Chevron Oil is using the new HOTPIPE COATING ® to insulate steam valves some running at 600°F (315°C), which had never been able to be insulated before. Temperatures have been reduced as low as 135°F (57°C).

Uninsulated Tanks putting out Pollution in the form of Evaporation:
These videos show gasoline vapors at a service station (290k AVI) and a big storage tank. (1 Mb AVI) The big tank is in Corpus and shows vapors escaping during the day. The seal is weak in this case. These pictures were taken with a $100,000 infra-red camera. This seems very appropriate for Valero. I got these pictures from visit with Agent's from TCEQ-Texas Commission for Environmental Quality. Who are involved with all environmental compliance in Texas.

As noted by J.E. Prichet President Superior Products International II, Inc "This was exactly what I worked with the Diamond Shamrock group back in the early nineties and found to be the case. This is the reason the boots were put on the gas nozzle at the pumps was to hold the fumes from escaping so easily. At that time, it was estimated that 25% of the actual air pollution was from gas fumes. At that time, gas was cheaper and no one cared. Now is different. When we coated the tanks with SUPERTHERM ®, we stopped practically 100% of the evaporation due to heat build up on the tank. What evaporation did happen was very little and only the fumes that are associated with gasoline in it's liquid state. Now, gas is expensive and this is more of an issue. What happened during this time was that evaporation was not important but the cost of blasting and recoating tanks every 4.5 years was. We could do a RUSTGRIP ® / SUPER THERM ® in place of the blast, zinc primer, epoxy middle coat and urethane final coat and save a total of $300,000,000 over a 10 year period covering a 3000 tank field. Stopping evaporation at the time was only going to save $30,000,000 per year so it was decided to not be important. This $30M was at the pricing back then. It has tripled today. Now, it is important."

Agricultural:
SUPERTHERM ® has many cost-reducing, profit-enhancing Agricultural benefits. Testing has shown the use of SUPERTHERM ® on Farm and Poultry houses greatly lowers inside temperature and humidity levels, which reduces the death-rate of livestock (due to heat stress) by up to 75%. Cooler Farm house temperatures allow for regular feed consumption by livestock, which helps to increase average livestock weight and profits.

Condensation and moisture inside a Farm house quickly deteriorate existing insulation materials, and can be a breeding ground for disease. SUPERTHERM ® on houses and cold water pipes will eliminate condensation and moisture, extending the life of existing materials and preventing loss of livestock. Use of SUPERTHERM ® on Bin Feeders also prevents condensation and moisture contamination of the feed, resulting in less feed waste.

General Construction:
A worldwide construction company based in England has specified SUPER THERM ® and is applying it around the world on jobs from South Africa to Asia where insulation is needed and the batt-style cannot hold up to the weathering conditions and applications. Numerous Canadian construction companies have specified SUPERTHERM ®.

Below are images of how heat in the winter can transfer (thermal bridging) through the wooden studs to the outside. The heat from the inside comes into contact with the surface of the wallboard. The fibreglass between the studs loads with heat and dissipates through the wall system to the outside. Keeping in mind that warm air molecules always move towards the cold. The studs will be much colder as they are not insulated and offer little thermal resistance. Wall Shadowing is caused by Condensation on the wooden studs.
