Thermo guard emulsion

Ritver Thermo-Shield Emulsion is a unique single component water-based heat insulation coating specially designed for the building and architectural industry. Applicable to both external and internal surfaces, the product effectively prevents the passage of heat. When applied outside, the product prevent infusion of heat and when applied inside, it prevents the cold temperature from escaping which in turn helps in reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning. Due to the presence of high amount of polymeric microspheres, the product also exhibits very good sound absorbing properties. The product can be top coated with any water-based finish coat for added aesthetics and protection.

Substrates: Concrete, Metal, Wood
Area of Use: Exterior & Interior

Concrete
Always ensure that the surface to be painted must be free of dirt oil and grease. New concrete should be cured for at least 28 days before application. Old surfaces must be free of laitance spalling and powdering.

Wood
If applying over coated wood, ensure that the coating is compatible with an Acrylic based emulsion coating. Bare wood should be primed with a suitable Primer before application of Ritver ThermoShield Emulsion.

The recommended method of application is by Airless Spray or HVLP sprayer. Roller and Brush can also be used in small areas.

Application:
Airless Spray
Depending on the area to be covered, select the most suitable fan type, normally 4 to 8 inches and a nozzle orifice of 0.021 to 0.027 of an inch. Do not apply more than 100 microns wet at a time or the product will sag and crack. Wait until the first coat is dried before commencing with the next coat. Build the dry film thickness to 100 microns minimum by applying multiple coats.

Roller/Brush
Apply the product using a fine haired paint roller or brush, the one usually used for Emulsion Paints. Apply multiple coats to build the recommended DFT.

Under dry and cool condition, storage stability can be sound up to 18 months in original sealed containers.
