NIPO Thermoshield

DESCRIPTION

Nipo ThermoShield+ is designed through the state-of-the-art technology for excellent solar reflectance, thermal insulation and waterproofing properties.

Solar Reflectance

Unlike the common Hollow Glass or Ceramic Bead technology, the unique technology incorporates the synergetic effect of solar reflectance and thermal insulation of the pigment.

This brings with it, excellent results in Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) Index in order to reduce surface temperature of buildings.

RECOMMENDED USES

• Old and new concrete or metal roofs
• Refurbishment of old roofs
• Roof tiles
• Vertical (concrete/brick) wall

24 - DAY ACTUAL DATA LOGGED

These charts above showed actual temperature variation over a 24- day period :
     • On a sunny day, it is observed that the temperature between a Nipo ThermoShield+ coated and non-Nipo coated external roof experiences a 5oC to up to 12oC variance. An actual Field Record at beta-site showed 13.1oC difference. The higher the exterior temperature, the better the effect. Please refer observations below.
     • The effect is most significant on hotter days
     • It may increase the life guarantee of roof system
     • Potentially, it reduces electricity consumption

As a waterproofing coating, Nipo ThermoShield+ offers :
     • UV resistance and good waterproofing properties
     • Excellent adhesive strength to prevent peeling
     • Excellent elongation to conceal hairline cracks
     • A good sealant to fill building cracks

APPLICATION
Surface Preparation
Ensure surface is clean from dust, oil, rust, grease, loose materials, moss etc. Surface should be dry for homogeneous material quality.
New concrete must be cured for at least 28 days.
Where required, treat all expansion joints, pipe joints and down pipes with NipoClad Putty.
Protect the NipoClad Putty from rain and water when wet.
Nipo ThermoShield+ can be applied using brush, roller or sprayed.
POLYURETHANE MATERIALS ARE NOTCOMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT.

Priming
Prime the surface with NipoClad Primer.
Where substrate is old and porous, prime twice.

Coating
Once the priming coat is dry, apply the 3 neat coats of Nipo ThermoShield+; each coat at right angle to the previous coat.
Allow Nipo ThermoShield+ to dry for 1 to 2 hours in between coats.
Protect from rain and frost until cured. Materials will be washed off when not fully cured.

COVERAGE
• For vertical surface, the coverage is about
0.3 to 0.5kg/m2 per coat
• For roof (metal/concrete/tile), the coverage is about 0.5 to 0.8kg/m2 per coat
• For best result, a minimum of 3 coats will be required

PACKING
Nipo ThermoShield+ comes in approx. 19kg (20L) pail.

NOTES
Actual Measurement may vary due to the condition of the substrate. This information is only a guide.
Special PASTEL Colours are available on demand.
