SPI Coatings designs, formulates, and manufactures the world’s most innovative coatings and solutions that solve major industrial problems. We help reduce energy usage, stop corrosion, give personal protection, and so much more.
Transforming the world with innovative coatings
SPI Coatings is the only insulation-coating manufacturer that developed both thin-film and thick-film ceramic systems, each engineered for a completely different heat-control function.
Thin films are designed to block radiative heat at the surface.
Thick films are designed to hold and control conducted heat on hot substrates.
They are not interchangeable.
No matter what a manufacturer claims, a thick coating cannot block radiative heat the way a properly engineered thin ceramic film can. The physics doesn’t allow it.
Most insulation-coating suppliers only offer an average-performing thick film and market it as a universal solution. Industry is now discovering the limitation.
Between 1989 and 1995, SPI Coatings worked directly with NASA in a six-year research program led by the company’s founder, focusing on ceramic compound behaviour. That work identified which ceramic structures function in thin films and which are required for thick insulation systems.
That knowledge gap still exists today.
There is no other manufacturer with 37 years of continuous ceramic insulation research producing coatings that perform exactly as claimed. Not four years. Not marketing hype. Proven performance, delivered for decades.
