Fireproofing
Omega Fire
A Coating Designed to Withstand 1200°C Direct Flame and Heat Transfer
Omega Fire is a single component coating having a blend of seven different ceramics combined in a water-based, acrylic/hybrid modified silicone formula to create a barrier against extreme flame impingement and heat migration. The coating can withstand direct flame up to 2200°F / 1204°C by hardening on the surface at first contact, while continuing to provide the necessary insulation value. The resin blend binds the compounds together and forms a char causing a matrix with the ceramics across the face of the coating, facing the flame. Omega Fire is designed to stay intact with constant adhesion at extreme temperatures, while remaining flexible. In this way, it can move with the surface, during expansion and contraction, without cracking and falling off as the substrate moves. > Learn More >
Super Therm®
Super Therm® is used to coat over exterior surfaces in hot climates to block 95% of the solar heat (UV, Short Wave and Long Wave). Preventing Heat Load onto the initial surface or envelope of the building or structure reduces heat entering the interior.
The “Flame Spread Index” and “Smoke Spread Index” was “0” (out of 100). That is the highest classification available, a class “A” fire resistance rating. UL, Factory Mutual and NASA also performed fire rating and subsequent toxicity test on Super Therm®. Super Therm® rated excellent in absolutely no contribution to flame or fire. This is an unusual rating for any paint product as most will score from a low of 15 up to 88. The “A” classification is the highest classification that can be achieved. This result definitely shows the quality of Super Therm®. > Learn More >

HPC® Coating
Get “High” Heat Insulation and Protection that Stops CUI
- HPC® Coating – Ambient up to 204°C / 400°F
- HPC®-INT – 204°C / 400°F up to 426°C / 800°
- HPC®-HT – 426°C / 800°F up to 650°C / 1200°F
HPC® Coating, HPC®-INT and HPC®-HT is a single component water-based coating designed to insulate hot pipes or surfaces that load up to 650°C. The coating is not a reflective coating but an insulation coating and works to block or hold the loading of higher heats and to resist the transfer of heat through the coating to the cooler side. Holds heat in the surface in which it covers. Once coated, the surface should be equal to the interior temperature. HPC®-HT has been successfully applied to hot pipe surfaces around 650°C.

HSC® – Hot Surface Coating
Get “High” Heat Protection that Surpasses Conventional Insulation
HSC® Coating is designed to control heat transfer on surface temperatures up to 350°F / 176°C. It is water-borne, and extremely lightweight and smooth in appearance. HSC® Coating uses a special acrylic resin7. blend with specific ceramic compounds added to provide a non-conductive block against heat transfer. HSC® Coating offers a “Green”, non-flammable, non-toxic formula for medium heat surface applications over standard steam pipe or oven wall construction. The coating was originally designed for hot applications where temperature exposures fall below those that would require the use of HPC® Coating. HSC® Coating is more easily applied for a smooth finish. It can be applied over metal, concrete, wood, and other substrates. Learn More >
