Series 975

Aerolon

Generic Type

Fluid-applied acrylic insulation coating

Common Usage

An innovative, fluid-applied, thermal insulating coating ideal for insulating pipes, valves, tanks, structural steel, or other substrates where thermal improvement, condensation reduction, or personnel protection is desired. This unique formulation is highly filled with a hydrophobic, insulative particle offering exceptional thermal performance and features a durable, water-based resin system with excellent adhesion and durability. Part of a corrosion-resistant coating system that bonds to the substrate, greatly reducing the issues associated with corrosion under insulation (CUI), and mitigating thermal bridging by controlling condensation.

Special Qualifications

Thermal Conductivity (ASTM C518 at 77°F): 0.0418 W/m-K or 0.2898 BTU-in/ft²-hr-°F (R value at one inch equals 3.5)
Flame Spread (ASTM E84): Class A
Smoke Developed (ASTM E84): Class A

Series 975 meets the requirements of LEED-Low-Emitting Materials, Collaborative for High Performance Schools-Paints & Coatings, WELL Building Standard-VOC Restrictions, and Living Building Challenge–Healthy Interior Performance. Contact your Tnemec representative for more information.
