TSM CERAMIC INSULATION SYSTEM (Metal) APPLICATION DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL DATA OF TSM CERAMIC A new dimension of insulation Origin of the product The original purpose of the material was the thermal protection of the returning spacecrafts, that the institutions of NASA and the Soviet Union developed separately. Originally it insulated up to 2000 C, but the useful temperature range of TSM Ceramic - the similar material, which was developed for industrial purposes - is between -50 C to +250 C. The product appeared on the russian market in the early 2000s. After developing the original material, today it has various uses, as it adheres perfectly to metal, concrete, bricks, wood, plastic and other materials. STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL TSM Ceramic contains microscopic sized (0.03 to 0.08 mm), hollow, little ceramic balls, which are dispersed in a mixture of a liquid synthetic rubber, acrylic polymers and inorganic pigments. In these micro-sized vacuum spases the known laws of thermal expansion and heat conduction can't be applied normally. Due to the composition the insulation material will be hard but flexible. The material is strong and resistant to damage from blows that may lead to the degeneration of its insulating capacity. Thermal conductivity factors: plate-glass polystyrene concrete (ρ= 300 kg/m 3 ) polystyrene foam (ρ= 20 kg/m 3 ) mineral wool (ρ= 100 kg/m 3 ) TSM Ceramic 0,760 W/mK 0,120 W/mK 0,034 W/mK 0,042 W/mK 0,001 W/mK
FIELD OF APPLICATION: The main application area is elevation insulation, furthermore it can be used in the following fields: treatment of surfaces exposed to the damaging effects of the enviroment insulation of objects exposed to high temperatures, ensuring fire prevention. piping insulation (to reduce the heat loss of transported fluid) corrosion protection waterproofing of buildings, internal insulation of - isothermals - tanks - ships Comparison between TSM ceramic insulating and traditional insulation materials? Thermal insulation: a minimum of 25-30% of energy costs, or more, can be saved. Fire protection: The thermoceramic coating provides a fire resistant layer UV-protection: the coated surface retains its freshness, UV protecting capacity, and does not fade in direct sunlight. does not contain allergy stimulating material As TSM is a paint-like substance, the coating can be easily applied everywhere even on the most hard to get at places Color fastness: TSM is highly dust repelling and extremely resistant to UV radiation Time required to apply TSM is highly favorable when compared to traditional insulation system (less than 50% of the time) TSM is washable and resistant to abrasion. Any dirt on a suface treated with TSm can be easily washed or cleaned with a steam cleaner Adanced usabilitíy: TMS can be easily applied to almost every standard building material (concrete, plaster, brick, wood, plastic, metal). Guaranteed quality: TSM has a manufacturers quarantee of 10 year on the quality of the material, the usability lifespan is about 20 years. TSM can be pre-ordered, in the appropriate mix for its desired function.
In TSM Ceramic, the presence of a Micro-vacuum enables the ceramic balls in the material to be an insuperable barrier to heat flow. The gas, which is located in the microspheres, does not possess the ability to conduct heat. During heat transfer the first thing, which gets warmed up are the walls of the microspheres, after it heat gets transferred to the gas in the microspheres. Hereinafter, the heat spreads to the nearby microspheres so there's always energy loss. Considering, that the sphere's (microsphere's) diameter is microscopic (10 micrometers), the heat flow has a long and tortuous pathways despite the fact, that the material's thickness is 0,5mm to 3mm. Therefore, pore rarity can significantly reduce the components of convective heat transfer. Microscopic ceramic beads 0,03- Layer thickness 0,5mm TSM Ceramic is not only a good insulation material, but also - due to it's transparent nature - it also has absorption, scattering and radiative properties, which will fundamentally change the structure of the heat loss from the coated surface (convective loss). This is called convective loss. It's characterized by surface "air wash" and "over brilliance" (radiation loss). The beads brake the heat's way, so the heatflow's capacity will be reduced (...) at 100 C - depending on the thickness of the deposites material - heat"gets back" into the tube (...) there is no gap between the surface and the material, it will therefore be resistant to damp (...) the material can withstand 1500 C without ignition. (Quote from the Russian factory representative Budapest, 20. 02. 2013.). Use of TSM ceramic on outer and inner metal surfaces for heat and corrosion protection - During preparation for piping insulating, rust and dust should be removed, the pipe material should be degreased - In the heat pipes temperature range should be between +1 C and +260 C. If the surface temperature is above +260 C, the promised parameters of the thermal insulation are not guaranteed. (TSM is available in a slightly different version, which can tolerate temperatures up to 500 C) - If pipes are the material to be insulated, dilution of CERAMIC thermal-insulation is not recommended.

Application of CERAMIC CERAMIC insulation application does not require any prior training (the most important thing is the thorough preparation of the material and surface). CERAMIC can be applied manually by brush or ("air-free") airbrush machine. 'Teddy' roll, and other hair, sponge, or other rolling and / or sliding surfaced applicators (eg. XXXX2000, rubber rollers, etc.) are not recommended. A fully continuous surface is strongly recommended in terms of application. It's especially important to focus on corners, cracks, etc. There should be no gaps in the applied layer of CERAMIC. Application of CERAMIC insulation must always be done in two layers and it should be ensured that each alternate layer is applied at a 90 degree angle to the previous layer. (In reality each strip should be connected to form a complete surface. The "empty" interface between stripes in this image is only for illustration.) The appropriate temperature for application is above 6 C. The material is easy to apply and the effects of humidity or direct sunlight during application will not result in any damage or reduce liability. The recommended application thickness of a layer is 0.6 to 0.8 mm. However, to determine the application thickness in case of walls, differential calculations must be made, and the final result should be based on the heat permeability coefficient (the K-value) of the to be insulated surface. Note: "Pipes have to be based before the final sealing. 2-3 times in case of cool pipes, and complement the desired thickness. Drying time takes 2-3 days. Primers of warm tubes have to be more diluted, in direct proportion to the temperature." (Quoted from the Russian factory representative, Budapest, 20. 02. 2013.) The drying time between applications the two layers - at temperatures above +10 C is 2 hours. The complete drying at temperatures above +10 C takes 24 hours. The dried surface is highly resistant to all kinds of physical and chemical effects, that occur in normal life (impact [except for sharp, pointed objects], rain, wind, frost, dogs' wet-attack ", etc.). If pipes are getting insulated, the dilution of CERAMIC thermal-insulation is not recommended. After it's completely dried, subsequent coloring is fine. However, the physical violation of the insulating layer affects the performance of CERAMIC and will void the warranty. A surface, having been coated with CERAMIC insulating plaster will not require any special maintenance. If necessary it can be washed, nce the coating has dried. Store leftover materials: after a few days closed up in its original material bucket, CERAMIC will revert to its "initial" (deposited) state, and, in a few months - with the same preparing method - it can be used again.
CERAMIC thin insulating plaster can be stored - in the original packaging, unopened and frost-free - for one year. After one year the material will lose its warranty. Cleaning applied tools: the residuals of the material can easily be removed with water. - Surface treatment: washable with chemicals. Practical cover rate: 1 litrer CERAMIC with 0.6mm application thickness - depending on the consistency of the surface, and pore frequency - approx. 1.5 m2. Warranty: A duly and carefully prepared and applied CERAMIC insulation thickness of 1.2 mm - of course, depending on the support surface's K coefficient - the insulation effectiveness is the equivalent of a 7-inch layer of polystyrene foam. The material keeps its insulating-ability as wall-insulation within a temperature range of -40 C and +56 C, and as heat-pipe insulation between +1 C and +260 C for at least 10 years, provided that the preparation and application meet all the criteria of the standards (With pre-written application replacing the insulation will not be required for 20-30 years.)
