Insulation Coating Technology: Proven, Tested, and the Only One Backed by NASA, FEO and ASTM

For over three decades, one insulation coating has redefined thermal protection—Super Therm®. Developed in collaboration with NASA by ceramic researcher J.E. Pritchett between 1989 and 1995, Super Therm® was the first true insulation coating designed to block solar radiation waves—the very waves that heat up the earth and every structure on it.

Unlike traditional insulation, Super Therm® does not rely on R-values because it doesn’t work by absorbing and slowly releasing heat. Instead, it stops heat before it enters, making it the most effective heat-blocking solution on the market.


Why Traditional Insulation is Stuck in the Past

Most insulation materials are judged by their R-value, a measurement that only accounts for how long a material takes to absorb heat before it becomes fully loaded (heat flux). What does that mean?

R-value is only tested at one temperature—23.9°C—for the entire world’s climate conditions.
R19 insulation requires a full 6.25 inches (155 mm) of material to be effective. If compressed, the R-value decreases.
Once fully loaded with heat, traditional insulation allows a steady flow of heat to the cooler interior.

This approach does not stop heat from entering a structure—it simply delays it. Once the material reaches heat flux, it has no resistance left, and heat transfers straight through.

Super Therm® is different. It doesn’t absorb heat at all. It blocks it.

Super Therm®: The Science of Heat Block Insulation

Unlike single-particle solutions that rely on thickness, Super Therm® is a multi-ceramic heat block coating that stops heat before it enters.

✔ Tested using ASTM standards at 25°C, 50°C, 75°C, and 100°C—covering every climate condition in the world.
✔ Applied at just 250 microns—a credit card’s thickness.
Reduces heat conduction from 367.2 BTUs to just 4 BTUs—at every tested temperature.
Does not absorb moisture, compact, or degrade over time.
Proven by DOE, ASTM, U.S. Military, and used on over 10.2 million sq. meters in Japan alone.

With Super Therm®, no added thickness is required, no matter how high the ambient temperature rises. Why? Because its four-ceramic formula blocks the three radiation heat waves (UV, visual, infrared) before they can load onto the surface.

No heat load means no need for extra insulation.


The Industry’s Best-Kept Secret: Why Haven’t You Heard of Super Therm®?

The answer is simple: Building codes only recognize R-values, limiting awareness of superior technology like Super Therm®.

R-value got into the code books first, creating a monopoly on insulation standards.
Super Therm® isn’t an R-value material—it eliminates heat load entirely, so the test doesn’t apply.
Thicker insulation coatings still rely on R-value principles, requiring more material as ambient temperatures rise.

That’s why most insulation solutions follow the same outdated model—because it keeps the competition out.


Super Therm®: The Only Thin-Coat Insulation Proven by NASA, DOE & ASTM

For over 35 years, Super Therm® has been used on roofs, tanks, pipes, and buildings worldwide, consistently delivering unmatched energy savings and thermal protection.

Proven by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its Weatherization Assistance Program.
Independently tested in three U.S. geographic locations—Florida, Denver, and LaPorte, Texas—showing consistent performance.
Trusted by NASA, SpaceX, and industries worldwide for its longevity and stable performance year after year.


The Future of Insulation is Here—And It’s Super Therm®

The insulation industry has relied on outdated standards for too long. Super Therm® is the only thin-coat insulation coating in the world backed by NASA, DOE, and ASTM.

✔ No thick layers.
✔ No heat absorption.
✔ No outdated R-value limitations.

Just proven, heat-blocking performance that works anywhere on the planet.

It’s time to think beyond R-value. Super Therm® is the next generation of insulation, and it’s already here.
