ALTIC EPOXY THERMAL INSULATION GLASS COATING is a specialized epoxy-based coating designed for industrial applications where thermal insulation and protective surface performance are required.
The coating combines an epoxy-based protective matrix with glass-based insulating technology to form a functional coating layer on suitable industrial substrates. It can be considered for equipment, structures and surfaces where reducing heat transfer and providing additional surface protection are important requirements.
The product is intended for professional industrial coating applications and should be selected according to the operating temperature, substrate, required insulation performance and complete coating-system design.

How Thermal Insulation Coating Works
Heat can transfer through industrial surfaces by conduction, convection and radiation. A properly designed thermal insulation coating can help reduce heat transfer by introducing insulating characteristics within the coating layer.
ALTIC Epoxy Thermal Insulation Glass Coating is intended to create a functional insulating barrier between the hot or temperature-sensitive substrate and the surrounding environment.
Actual thermal performance depends on factors such as:
- Operating temperature
- Substrate material
- Coating thickness
- Number of coats
- Surface condition
- Heat-transfer mechanism
- Application quality
- Environmental conditions
Therefore, product selection and coating thickness should be determined according to the specific project requirement.
Recommended Applications
The coating may be considered for suitable industrial applications such as:
- Industrial equipment
- Metal structures
- Process equipment
- Pipelines
- Tanks and vessels
- Boilers and associated equipment
- Hot industrial surfaces
- Machinery and plant components
- Thermal-management applications
- Industrial maintenance projects
The actual operating-temperature range and substrate compatibility should always be confirmed from the latest technical documentation.
Suitable Substrates
Depending on the approved coating system, ALTIC Epoxy Thermal Insulation Glass Coating may be suitable for:
- Mild steel
- Carbon steel
- Fabricated metal surfaces
- Industrial equipment
- Prepared steel structures
- Other compatible substrates
Proper surface preparation is essential before application.
Surface Preparation
For optimum adhesion and coating performance, the substrate should be properly prepared.
Remove:
- Oil and grease
- Dust and dirt
- Loose rust
- Mill scale
- Loose existing coatings
- Moisture
- Other surface contaminants
For steel surfaces, suitable mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting may be carried out according to the existing surface condition and project specification.
The prepared surface should be clean, dry and free from contaminants before coating.
Application Procedure
A typical application process includes:
- Prepare the substrate according to the required surface-preparation standard.
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Mix the coating thoroughly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply the recommended primer where required.
- Apply ALTIC Epoxy Thermal Insulation Glass Coating using the approved application method.
- Maintain the specified coating thickness.
- Allow each coat to dry or cure as recommended.
- Apply additional coats where required to achieve the specified system thickness.
- Allow the complete system to cure before placing the equipment into service.
Brush, roller or spray application should only be selected according to the latest product TDS and project requirements.
Thermal Insulation Performance
Thermal insulation performance is dependent on the complete coating design rather than the product name alone.
Important design parameters include:
Operating Temperature → Required Surface Temperature Reduction → Coating Thickness → Number of Coats → Application Method
For critical thermal insulation applications, the required coating thickness should be determined using project-specific thermal calculations or manufacturer’s technical recommendations.
Do not assume a particular temperature reduction without confirming the actual application conditions.
Coating System
Depending on the substrate and service environment, a typical system may consist of:
Surface Preparation → Compatible Primer → ALTIC Epoxy Thermal Insulation Glass Coating → Compatible Topcoat
The final system should be selected according to the operating environment and compatibility requirements.
Technical Specifications
Specific technical values such as:
- Density
- Viscosity
- Volume solids
- Recommended DFT
- Coverage
- Mixing ratio
- Pot life
- Drying time
- Recoat interval
- Maximum operating temperature
- Thermal conductivity
- Thermal resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Packaging
- Shelf life
should be confirmed from the latest ALTIC technical data sheet before product specification or application.
Important Application Considerations
For thermal insulation applications, simply increasing coating thickness does not automatically guarantee a particular surface-temperature reduction.
The coating system should be designed according to the actual heat source, substrate, ambient conditions and required thermal performance.
For high-temperature equipment, the compatibility of the complete coating system with the operating temperature should be verified before application.
Safety & Handling
- Use appropriate PPE during mixing and application.
- Provide adequate ventilation.
- Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes.
- Follow the latest product SDS.
- Keep containers closed when not in use.
- Keep away from unsuitable sources of heat or ignition where applicable.
- Do not mix with incompatible products.
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommended mixing and application procedure.
Storage
Store the product in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location.
Protect the material from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and unsuitable storage conditions.
Always refer to the latest manufacturer documentation for shelf life and recommended storage conditions.
