Series 975
Aerolon
Generic Type
Fluid-applied acrylic insulation coating
Common Usage
An innovative, fluid-applied, thermal insulating coating ideal for insulating pipes, valves, tanks, structural steel, or other substrates where thermal improvement, condensation reduction, or personnel protection is desired. This unique formulation is highly filled with a hydrophobic, insulative particle offering exceptional thermal performance and features a durable, water-based resin system with excellent adhesion and durability. Part of a corrosion-resistant coating system that bonds to the substrate, greatly reducing the issues associated with corrosion under insulation (CUI), and mitigating thermal bridging by controlling condensation.
Special Qualifications
