Re: insulation/condensation

Hey - Thanks for the replies. Did some calculations.Seems a wet mil
is.001". Product is 70% solid.( 6 wet mils/coat) So best you can get
/coat dry is 4 mils = .004" or 25 coats to the 1" for R value 10. For
R value 5 need 12 coats @ $3/sq ft/coat = $36/sq ft. Is this so? Not
good. You told me so. Apologies for not signing of on first post -
easily flustered. Thanks again - Darrell
If you are useing plywood sheeting and planing on encapsulating and
putting down a sole then to fill the void with pour foam eliminates
condensation and rot. Condensation needs air flow and rot needs air and
water to fill the void removes air flow and condensation and dry rot
can't form. Foam banels will only work if tight to skin with no edge
voids to frames so air can not get behind it. any air flow or void with
air in it aginst the skin can condensate.

The product you saw would seem to be no better then useing micro
ballons in your fill coat on glassing.

Don't worry about those nanoparticles. Nature learned how to decompose
bovine excrement long ago.

Don't get too excited about using this material for any significant
insulating. It has a very high R value of 10 to 12 but that is expressed
"per inch" this material is a very thin film of paint! A half inch of
almost anything will far exceed a coat of this paint!

Hello all - found this site when looking for product for use on
corrugated iron for house roofing and walling.
http://www.industrial-nanotech.com/nansulate.htmThought it
may be of use for birdwatcher 2 instead of foam. Use thicker ply for
outer skin - cut down building time and cost.Haven't found out if it
can be overcoated with epoxy yet. Everything degrades but it never
disappears. Bit worried about where these nano particles may end up
and their consequences. Don't know about loss of floatation. What do
you think?
