class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Execution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.1 Protection \/ Preparation of Substrate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1&nbsp;<\/strong>Protect adjacent surfaces and equipment from damage by over-spray, fallout and dusting. Mask adjacent work as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong>Repair any damaged areas first by caulking, patching, sealing, grouting, welding, taping, priming, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3&nbsp;<\/strong>Clean substrate to remove dirt, dust, grease, oil, waxy substances, release agents, loose material such as flaking paint or rust or other matter which would affect bond of ceramic insulation coating. Surfaces must be clean, dry and sound before application. High-pressure water blasting with TSP is as effective as light sand blasting in removing loose or old flaking paints or corrosion. As a rule, \u201c<em>a coating is only as good as the surface it covers.<\/em>\u201d Old paints can remain if bonded solidly to surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.2 Environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1&nbsp;<\/strong>Application temperatures range from a minimum of&nbsp;<strong>10\u00b0C&nbsp;<\/strong>to a maximum of&nbsp;<strong>65\u00b0C&nbsp;<\/strong>but the optimum application temperature is&nbsp;<strong>22\u00b0C.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong>Never apply if it\u2019s raining or there is a chance of rain the day of application. If applied when humidity is high or it rains constantly for 3-4 days after <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/eaglecoatings.com\/products\/thermal\/supertherm\/\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae is applied you may notice some bubbling effects on the coating. <strong>DO NOT PUNCTURE these bubbles<\/strong>. This is normal as the formula is water based and is absorbing the moisture and, therefore forming bubbles. After the rain stops, the sun will dry out the coating and allow it to cure down naturally. As the sun draws out the moisture, the bubbles will settle down and allow the coating to adhere in its normal dry down without problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.3 APPLICATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae can bond to metal, wood, masonry and other porous surface substrates, and can be best applied by airless or air pot sprayer, roller and by brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>&nbsp;If rolling, it may take two coats to apply required mils. A 3\/4-inch nap roller is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/applying-super-therm-with-an-airless-sprayer\/\" title=\"\">Spraying airless<\/a> requires a .028 \u2013 .033 steel carbon tip.&nbsp;<strong>Remove all filters from spray equipment before using<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4<\/strong>&nbsp;Do not apply very thick on a single coat. If thickness is desired, apply in multiple coats. A thick coat will allow the top-coating surface to dry before the bottom thus creating cracks in the coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.4 Coverage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae is applied at a rate of 95 square feet per gallon. This gives a mil thickness of 17 mils WFT that equals&nbsp;10 mils DFT being 60% solids by volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>&nbsp;On a horizontal substrate this is easily achieved in one coat using the cross hatch method of up and down and side to side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3&nbsp;<\/strong>On vertical substrates it is possible to apply 17 mils WFT in one coat but it\u2019s easier and better to apply it in 2 coats of 8.5 mils WFT each. This prevents any possible sag by going a little too thick and allows you to cross hatch (side to side then up and down) to achieve a&nbsp;better seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.5 Drying \\ <\/strong>Curing Time and Recoat Windows<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae is a waterborne coating which contains no co-solvents and dries by evaporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong>Drying time is generally 1 hour to touch and 2 hours to recoat but these times will vary depending on relative humidity and ambient temperature. More dry time is required in a very cool or damp climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae completely cures is 14 \u2013 21 days again depending on relative humidity and ambient temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\u00ae contains 8% water. Water is a thermal conductor as opposed to a thermal resistor consequently the performance increases over time until all the water has evaporated out of the coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.6 COLOURS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1&nbsp;<\/strong>First and foremost colour of course has an effect on heat build up. The darker the colour the more heat it absorbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong>Unlike paint, which contains 25% \u2013 50% water, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong>\u00ae only has 8% water for a high quality water based universal tint to work with. Consequently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong>\u00ae may be <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/super-therm-colour-tinting-chart\/\" title=\"Super Therm\u00ae Colour Tinting Chart\">tinted<\/a> to a light pastel or earth tone. The exception to this is GREY because the tint required is&nbsp;<strong>black<\/strong>&nbsp;which has a tendency to cover the ceramics and affect the performance. The least desirable colour is&nbsp;<strong>black<\/strong>&nbsp;providing heat conductance all the way through the coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3&nbsp;<\/strong>If a dark colour is desired then the recommendation is to double the mils to 500 microns DFT and topcoat with the dark colour. At least this way the ceramics will throw the absorbed heat back into the topcoat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 <\/strong>Even with a pastel colour it\u2019s better to topcoat but then you only need 250 microns DFT of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">Super Therm<\/a><\/strong>\u00ae<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-insulation-coating\/\" title=\"Super Therm\u00ae Insulation Coating - Reflects 95% of Solar Heat\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Super-Therm-NEOtech-Coatings-95-pc-Heat-Reflective-Insulation-Coating-Stop-The-Heat.jpg\" alt=\"Slide 1\" width=\"100%\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"kw-savings-from-super-therm-actual-dollar-savings\"><strong><a class=\"aioseop-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/save-money-with-super-therm\/\">KW Reduction from Super Therm<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> <a class=\"aioseop-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/save-money-with-super-therm\/\">= Actual Dollar Reduction<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a class=\"aioseop-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/save-money-with-super-therm\/\">KW Reduction from Super Therm<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/super-therm-ceramic-coating-developed-with-nasa\/\">NASA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/super-therm-energy-star-savings\/super-therm-usa-energy-authority-reports\/\">USEA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/eco-friendly\/super-therm-eco-friendly-solar-heat-block-coating\/\">EPA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/international-organisations-that-use-super-therm\/\">Corporations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/super-therm-testimonials\/\" title=\"Super Therm\">Super Therm<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/super-therm-testimonials\/\" title=\"Testimonials\">Testimonials<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/super-therm-solar-heat-block-coating\/\" title=\"About Super Therm\">About Super Therm<\/a><sup style=\"color: initial;
