A fluid-applied, high-build coating containing aerogel technology as an insulating additive is making its mark as a thermal break. When applied to structural steel members as a thermal break, Tnemec Series 971 Aerolon Acrylic insulating coating prevents condensation from occurring in the wall cavity.
"The thermal properties of Aerolon reduce condensation caused by the difference in the temperature between the two sides of the wall space by insulating the substrate's surface and keeping it above the dew point," explained Andy Hoffman, Tnemec Market Support Manager, Industrial Market. "It is a simple solution that provides condensation control while being cost effective when compared to thermal pads that require a physical break in the steel beam."
