Spray On Insulation Coating: HPC™ Hot Pipe Coating

Get heat protection that surpasses conventional insulation with HPC™ Coating. HPC™ Coating is a ceramic based, water-borne spray on insulating coating designed to insulate in high temperature situations up to 750°F. Use HPC™ Coating as a base coat/primer or build layers for additional protection. This video is in Spanish, but you get to see how HPC is used and can be used in combination with our other products.

Uses:

  • Reduction of external temperature of hot surfaces as an aid to worker safety
  • Reduction of heat loss for energy savings
  • Stops condensation
  • Stops CUI (corrosion under insulation)
This insulation method is much different than the traditional “wrap” insulation materials that only slow down the loss of heat (known as an R rating or “heat transfer”). The seven ceramic compounds used create a barrier to catch and hold heat on the surface of the unit—be it pipe, furnace surface, boiler, etc. Unlike wraps that use air as the insulation component, the ceramic compounds in HPC™ Coating resist absorbing heat trying to come off the surface to escape. This traps and holds the heat onto the surface for more effective insulation performance.

Benefits of HPC™ Coating:

  • Easy to Apply - Apply directly to hot pipes while operating.
  • Increased Insulation - Additional coats immediately reduce surface temperature and loss of heat.
  • Long Lasting – Does not absorb humidity or lose insulation value with overcoat of Super Therm®.
  • Safe - HPC™ Coating is non-flammable and non-toxic.
  • Coverage – Can be sprayed to fit over any configuration or shape.
HPC™ Coating must be sealed with Super Therm® before any solvent-based topcoat can be used. For exterior use, overcoat with Super Therm®. For use in a chemical environment, overcoat with Super Therm® and with either Rust Grip® or Enamo Grip (if color topcoat is desired).
  • Enamo Grip for wet situations
  • Super Therm® for ultimate insulation
  • Rust Grip® for toughness
