Liquid insulation

Liquid insulation for walls is produced by several companies, in another way it can be called liquid ceramic thermal insulation or heat paint. Heat painting is suitable for insulating walls inside buildings, painting exterior facades with the possibility of subsequent finishing cladding.

The liquid insulation for walls receives mixed reviews, possibly because the material is relatively new and has not yet been appreciated. It is applied to the surface with a brush or roller. After painting the walls from the inside, you can glue the wallpaper on top.

Liquid insulation or heat paint

Advantages: Heat paint does not increase the thickness of the wall, forms a protective layer that prevents the penetration of cold inside the premises. The composition contains ceramic spheres, which together with acrylic polymers give a reflective effect. The paint is optimal for protecting hard-to-reach places where it is not possible to place a conventional sheet or roll insulation. Thermal paint provides good adhesion to various coatings.

Disadvantages: To obtain high-quality protection, heat paint should be applied evenly in several layers: about 5-6. The more layers, the more you need to maintain the interval between them, and this, as you know, all the time. To spray with a spray gun, you will need to change the diameter of the outlet: a thick texture will clog a narrow nozzle.

Experience with the use of liquid thermal insulation AKTERM Concrete and AKTERM Facade
A comment
I want to leave a review about AKTERM ultra-thin liquid thermal insulation, a little about myself: we are engaged in construction and installation works all over Russia, three years ago I learned about liquid thermal insulation when they made an object in Tyumen and purchased materials in the StroyDvor building store, there, on the recommendation of a specialist we were offered to use AKTERM Concrete for wall insulation from the inside, to be honest, there were first doubts, after the approval of the customer, we purchased this material. After applying the material to the walls, the guys immediately felt the heat in the room. Liquid thermal insulation works on the principle of thermal reflection, those heat are not dissipated in a cold room, but rather reflected! According to the manufacturer's recommendations, we usually glue the wallpaper to the finish layer or paint it with decorative paint, for large volumes we order tinting in AKTERM. In the summer, we made an object in Krasnodar, there the task was back, to reduce energy costs by using an air conditioner, in this case we use the AKTERM Facade to reflect solar thermal energy, the result was stunning, almost no air conditioning was used for the season !!! In general, liquid thermal insulation works if you have the right application !!! I also want to note the high quality of the product: there is no pungent smell when you work, it dries quickly, and is easily applied to various surfaces.
pros
An effective tool for warming walls from the inside, as well as for reflecting solar energy in the summer!
Minuses
unfortunately, not all cities in Russia have a product, you have to order from Moscow

High quality of all materials !!!!!!
A comment
I have been engaged in apartment renovation and house restoration, with Akterm LLC for more than 3 years, during this time there have never been complaints about the quality of materials, in addition to liquid thermal insulation, I often use Akterm waterproofing mastics, non-combustible paint in my work KM0 and so on.

Unlike the companies with which Akterm previously worked, all materials have a long service life, are easy to apply and more wear-resistant. I am calm with the materials of Akterm for the quality of the work performed and I boldly give a guarantee of 10 years.

I also really liked the latest development of the company, the transparent protective coating for Akterm Crystal facades, the coating dries quickly and reliably protects the facade from destruction. Thank you to NPK IT LLC for the high quality of our products and for affordable prices !!!!!
pros
Very high quality and ease of application.

The room became comfortable
A comment
After warming the walls in the room with AKTERM Anti-Condensate coating, 2 years have already passed and now I can say with confidence that the material copes effectively with its tasks and is a complete insulation, before the walls were warmed up, the room was sweating, condensation formed, and with it, fungus and mold, in the room it was always cool and there was a stale smell, they turned to the HOA, closed the inter-seam seams, but it didn’t bring any effect, to whom they didn’t turn, they all advised one thing, to insulate the facade, but considering the cost of services materials climbers came out very expensive, and no one is guaranteed a positive result.

My wife on the Internet stumbled on AKTERM Anticondensate liquid insulation, after talking with the company’s specialists, we were told in detail how the material works, how to prepare the surface and the material for application, how to apply, we did everything according to the recommendations and we have been living in comfortable conditions for 2 years now, the room has become much warmer, dampness disappeared and not some condensation, fungus and mold on the walls. We want to say a big thank you to NPK IT LLC for solving the problem, we advise everyone to contact this company for insulation materials.

Liquid thermal insulation Ackerm from condensation
A comment
I used AKTERM Anti-Condensate liquid insulation in a country house.
Paint helps against condensation and freezing walls. It does not attract rodents and insects like mineral wool.

Easy to apply on the surface with a spatula or brush, 0.5 mm long, interlayer drying 24 hours. The total layer should be 1.5-2 mm, without gaps.
Then you can easily apply decorative paint or wallpaper.
Fungus and mold inhibitors are added. The adhesion of the material is excellent!

The paint works on the principle of heat barrier, the heat does not go outside and is stored in the house. The result is excellent!
pros
Great quality, no more condensation.

Myths about the company Akterm liquid thermal insulation
A comment
They outbid non-standard, certificate fraud from other manufacturers.

Let's start with the brand for the actors. There are documents on the network confirming that Akterm, as well as NPK IT, are not manufacturers, but work under a contract with non-standard Magniterme, Teplomett and other manufacturers .. Until recently, they could not show production, it was not until March 2017. Now it seems like they launched it, but not the fact that the entire line of materials. You understand that there is no experience, the quality is appropriate, they boast that they work in a foreign market. Indeed, there is such, but their liquid thermal insulation is used mainly for light reflection from roofs, this quality is not required, a minimum number of microspheres of any quality is sufficient.Anyone can do this, since the technology for producing liquid thermal insulation is very primitive, you can do it yourself in any garage if you wish, chemical reactions are not needed there, everything is kneaded like dough, the only 3M normal spheres are needed.

Full of complaints about their products, all the positive reviews about the actors are written, if you wish, you can track all the nicknames of users leaving reviews. We worked with actors, there were a lot of complaints about the low quality of their materials. Their thermal insulation is about nothing, certificates are constantly bought and redone, first one figure stands, then another. Certificates are purchased for the complete combustibility of KM 0, for the time being, until the fire happened, then they will grab everyone in one place, few will think it, remember how the Lame Horse cafe was on fire. For example, take their actors Zinc reviews about him terrible consumers, it is indicated that there is 96% zinc at the price at which they sell it, normal zinc is not worth it, then low quality zinc or again a purchase certificate. A sample of video with normal products is shot, in fact, it’s a completely different scheme of work according to the type of China. With regard to their sound insulation, Maxforte. Also, a purchase certificate for the material of Maxforte SoundPro, non-combustible KM 0, if you happen to be provided with Magadan.

Reducing heat loss on the steam line
A comment
We want to thank the company "NPK IT" for the decision to reduce heat loss in the boiler room and the excellent materials that successfully coped with the task. Like everyone probably in our boiler room there was a problem with warming the steam and hot water pipes that we just didn’t use, we wound cotton wool every year but the cotton wool loses its heat-insulating properties after six months, the PPU shells were fastened, they turn into dust in a couple of months and crumble . As a result, the money was spent and after six months the maximum is no longer any kind of thermal insulation.

We searched for a solution for a long time and then representatives of NPK IT LLC came to us and offered to insulate the pipes with AKTERM liquid thermal insulation, we decided to try it. After surface preparation, according to the technological map, two layers of AKTERM Metal were applied with inter-layer drying at 24 hours, after which they started measuring the surface temperature with the IPP-2 device (TFAP.405126.003 RE). Measurements on the surface of the non-insulated area showed a temperature of 90.7C. Instrument data the measurements on the surface of the AKTERM Metal coated liquid thermal insulation section were 54.4 ° C. The measurement data showed that at an ambient temperature of 35 ° C, two layers of AKTERM Metal liquid thermal insulation reduced whether the temperature of the steam pipe surface 90.7S to 54.4S, which amounted to 40% as a percentage

Conclusion: the measurement data proved the high efficiency of using AKTERM Metal liquid thermal insulation on the steam line, heat loss was reduced by 40%. We recommend everyone to use AKTERM Metal liquid thermal insulation for warming steam and hot water pipes. The material shows high efficiency, reliability and is easy to use! now at all facilities we use only AKTERM Metal liquid thermal insulation and we advise everyone !!!
