Thermal Barrier Coatings

Thermal barrier coatings are highly advanced material systems usually applied to metallic surfaces, such as gas turbine or aero-engine parts, operating at elevated temperatures, as a form of Exhaust Heat Management. These coatings serve to insulate components from large and prolonged heat loads by utilizing thermally insulating materials which can sustain an appreciable temperature difference between the load bearing alloys and the coating surface. In doing so, these coatings can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the thermal exposure of structural components, extending part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue. In conjunction with active film cooling, TBCs permit working fluid temperatures higher than the melting point of the metal airfoil in some turbine applications.

Features:

• Reflects 98% of heat in roofs / ceilings / walls

• Reduces Internal temperature of building up to 12°C

• Reduces evaporation losses, pollution, smog, the urban heat island effect and global warming

• Quick payback period - saves over INR 5200 / year for every 1°C temperature reduction – saves over 40% in energy bills for Air conditioner / Heaters

• Conventional insulation system only slows the rate of heat transfer - cannot stop radiant heat

• Resistant to acid rain, UV rays, Saline atmosphere & condensation
