HOW DO PermaFlex BARRIER Coatings Work?So why can our Barrier-Coatings be so thin and achieve the same goal as standard Batt type insulation?
This is a very honest question requiring a detailed description. First, we must understand what heat is and its transfer methods before we can explain why the coating is so efficient. Heat/cold is actually defined as the way in which light wave energy is transmitted into or through a particular substrate. This light wave energy is broken down into two important classifications: Visible and non-visible spectrums. The visible spectrum of light is what we see as color – red, blue, green, etc. The non-visible spectrums of light are above the visible spectrums include ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays. All substrates and materials on the earth are affected differently by these varied spectrums of light. What they absorb or reflect determines what we feel as heat. Excited molecular movement inside a material or substrate is what we feel as HEAT. As heat is generated, another principle in physics begins. This is known as Thermal Dynamic Heat Transfer (TDHT). TDHT is a never-ending process
