AkzoNobel’s International brand, a leading provider of protective coatings, linings and fire-protection products, has
introduced Intertherm 3350 into the U.S.
protective coatings market. The innovative thin film spray-applied insulation
coating was specially developed for use in
a wide variety of industrial environments.
As a highly effective, buildable formulation, Intertherm 3350 provides facility
owners with a superior option for protecting personnel from contact with hot
surfaces of up to 350° F (177° C). It is
also a highly efficient insulating material
that delivers excellent heat and energy
conservation, while reducing exposure to
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) often
associated with conventional insulation
and cladding systems.
According to Chris McMillan,
AkzoNobel Protective Coatings’ North
American marketing manager, “Unlike
bulkier multi-layer insulation systems being used in the market, Intertherm 3350
is super lightweight and easy to install.
The coating takes up minimal space, so
coated surfaces can be quickly visually inspected. When applied over an approved
anticorrosive primer, Intertherm 3350 offers outstanding long-term corrosion and
Intertherm 3350 can be applied with
standard airless spray equipment in the
desired number of coats to form a continuous thermal insulation barrier to the
underlying substrate, which brings hot
surfaces down to safe touch temperatures.
The coating’s inherent ease of application
also makes the insulation an ideal choice
for use in large and complex work areas.
