Steel fails for two main reasons. Heat and corrosion. We treat them as separate problems. They are not. If you[...]
The Problem Across Australia and New Zealand, thousands of buildings are operating under ageing metal roofs. Warehouses. Schools. Modular buildings.[...]
Heat blocking coatings work. But only when they are installed correctly. Too often, performance gets judged on the product when[...]
Thickness has dominated insulation thinking for decades. More bulk. More R-value. More material. But what if performance is not about[...]
If film thickness is wrong, performance is wrong. It’s that simple. In high-performance coatings, especially insulation and corrosion systems, dry[...]
Coatings do not fail because of chemistry.They fail because of surfaces. You can have the most advanced insulation or corrosion[...]
Application method is rarely discussed in technical detail, yet it directly affects coating performance. Spray and roller are not just[...]
Extreme heat is not a theory problem. It is a surface problem. Roofs hitting 70°C. Steel containers becoming ovens. Jet[...]
If you are specifying coatings for roofs, steel structures, containers or façades, the real question is simple. Will it still[...]
Everyone talks about performance on day one. Very few talk about performance after year ten. In building science, coatings and[...]
What Actually Proves Performance? In the coatings and insulation industry, everyone claims performance. Energy savings. Heat reduction. Fire resistance. Durability.[...]
Thermal cameras do not guess. They measure infrared radiation and convert it into a visible temperature map. When used correctly,[...]
There’s a big gap between what a product says it does and what it can actually prove. In the coatings[...]
Most people look at one number and think they understand performance. That is the mistake. Solar reflectance reports are technical[...]
In building science, the lab is controlled. The surface is not. In the lab, temperature, humidity, air movement and radiation[...]
Government field trials carry weight. They are independent, structured, and often influence policy, funding and specification decisions. But they are[...]
There is a lot of noise in the insulation coatings space. Big claims. Impressive percentages. Selective test data. If you[...]
Why surface science must now shape planning law Urban heat is no longer a design inconvenience. It is a public[...]
