How does N-SULATE insulate and how effective is it?
N-SULATE insulates by means of low thermal conduction, which allows it to reduce heat transfer in a clear, thin layer coating that also protects tanks from corrosion. Below are some heat figures in BTU to give you an idea of the difference that N-SULATE can make in reducing heat loss: The information below is for a 3-coat application (each coat applied at 5 wet mils) from independent laboratory testing according to ISO Standard 8990:1999. 30 degree F deltaT Ambient Temp 71.2 F Heat loss in Watts Heat loss in btu Uninsulated surface 32.003 109.198 Btu (IT)/Hour Same surface with N-SULATE 20.860 71.178 Btu (IT)/Hour This represents a decrease in heat loss by 34.8%.
