Thermal Insulating Paint

Nanotechnology and Microtechnology makes Nutshell Nano Emulsion, thermal

insulating and water repelling.

Nutshell Nano Emulsion 'blocks' thermal transfer and protects against moisture

making the paint water repelling! It protects against water condensation

resisting mould growth on walls. Thermal energy 'travels' through walls and other surfaces. Therefore large amounts of energy are required for cooling in the

summer and heating in the winter. Nutshell Nano Emulsion does not only reflect

thermal radiation, but resists heat transfer through various surfaces!

The triple action of Nutshell Nano Emulsion, i.e. thermal radiation reflectance,

the resistance in heat transfer and water repellence, contribute in the protection of interior or exterior painted surfaces and

the energy efficiency of buildings.

As Nutshell Nano Emulsion does not only reflect thermal radiation, but resists heat

transfer, in this manner you enjoy 2increased energy efficiency, a reduced CO

footprint and a comfortable environment! Nutshell Nano Emulsion is water repelling

meaning the nanoparticles contained protect paints from moisture extending their lifetime and increase their thermal

insulating ability.

Further, it reduces temperature variation on walls (thermal bridges), protecting against water condensation and bacteria or mould

growth!

Nutshell Nano Emulsion is a, water based thermal insulating wall

emulsion

Incorporates Surfapore Thermodry Nano technology

Increases the energy efficiency of your build & helps to cut heat loss

Reduces temperature variation on walls thereby reducing

condensation & mould growth

Can be over coated with Nutshell Super Eco Emulsion, Super Eco

Emulsion Plus or standard emulsion or even wallpapered over using

Nutshell Wallpaper Paste

Available in 2.5L & 5L2Coverage 8-10m per Litre

International Standards TestingIndependent certification agencies certify that the use of Nutshell’s SurfaPore

ThermoDry Nano Emulsion reduces their thermal conductivity by at least 4 times (0,1292 W/(mk), EN12667)

What is Nanotechnology?Nanotechnology refers to the scientific field, which deals with very small

structures, usually sized below 100nm. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a 9meter (10¯ m).

It is so small that if the earth were a meter in diameter, then a nanometer wouldhave been the size of an apple! Nano sized materials reveal unique properties

when compared to ordinary, bulk materials or even molecules.

At a glance..Take advantage of the unique properties of nanotechnology and solve every day

problems. By harnessing nanotechnology, we seek to create a more comfortable, safe and trouble-free living environment. We transfer innovations

from the lab to the hands of our consumers.

This technology was recognized by Bill Gates in January 2008 as one of the most stinnovative products and also received the 1 prize for innovation.
