THERMO-SHIELD® Interior Wall Coats

Thermo-Shield® Interior Wall Coat is a highly efficient, energy-saving, flexible coating, designed to insulate and waterproof your walls. It is non-toxic, friendly to the environment, and forms a monolithic (seamless) membrane that bridges hairline cracks. It is completely washable and resists many harsh chemicals and dirt pick-up. This water-based coating is made from an acrylic resin system filled with vacuumed ceramic micro spheres that acts as a thermally efficient blanket. Thermo-Shield® Interior Wall Coat can be applied by roller or sprayer. Thermo-Shield® Interior Wall Coat has 4 times the fire resistance and 1/26th the smoke development necessary to classify for Class I rating. It has superb adhesion, chemical resistance and reduces sound transmission and echo. It helps maintain a more uniform temperature ceiling-to-floor and reduces cold weather heat loss through walls and ceilings. This coating comes in a variety of architectural colors and leaves a beautiful matt finish.

THERMO-SHIELD® Interior Wall Coat Uses

For regular indoors painting where durability, reduction of the noise factor and superb smoke protection are important. Thermo-Shield® Interior Wall Coat reduces condensation and helps maintain an even level of comfort in the room.

THERMO-SHIELD® Interior Wall Coat application

No primer is usually required but it is recommended over gypsum board. Follow instructions for proper application and film build-up. All surfaces must be clean and free from laitance (efflorescence), dust, dirt, rust, oil and grease. Minimally, surfaces must be cleaned to remove any loose or chipping paint, or any other foreign material prior to coating.

no thinning required. Clean water in small amounts of up to 0.24 Liter (1 cup) per gallon may be added to replace evaporation losses or to adjust for spray equipment configuration. Caution: excessive thinning will cause the coating to loose adhesion and elasticity 

The application of Thermo-Shield should be done with a roller or airless spray application is recommended. Very small areas may be brushed. When Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats are applied by brush, three (3) coats cross-brushed are required for adequate protection. To assure adequate and uniform coverage, the “spray and back roll” techniques are recommended - spray all coats in the same direction, do not cross spray to avoid showing undulations and other small imperfections in the walls. Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats should be applied in full wet coats.

Airless Spray:
Tip Orifice .031 inches
Atomizing Pressure 2200 - 2500 psi
Fan Spread 60 Degrees
Pump / Minimum 1 gallon per minute at 2500 psi
Filter / Remove filters & screens
Prime pump with water before attempting to spray Thermo-Shield® Exterior Wall Coats. Acceptable equipment includes; Binks Super Hornet, Graco 433 or larger, and many others.

Clean up tools and equipment with warm soapy water. Rinse with clean water; flush mineral spirits through spray equipment to prevent rusting and to lubricate packing and gaskets.
