Highly reflective ceramic thermal insulation coating for superior energy efficiency and corrosion protection.
harCoat CTI is a high-performance, thin-film ceramic thermal insulation coating designed to provide exceptional insulation, reflectivity, and corrosion protection. Applied directly to substrates like piping, tanks, roofing, or steel structures, it reduces energy loss, enhances efficiency, and eliminates corrosion under insulation (CUI). Its advanced formulation incorporates vacuum-filled ceramic and silicon microspheres, delivering true insulation properties far beyond standard reflective coatings.

Its advanced formulation incorporates vacuum-filled ceramic and silicon microspheres, delivering true insulation properties far beyond standard reflective coatings.
CharCoat CTI creates a thermal barrier by combining vacuum-filled ceramic microspheres, silicon microspheres, and specialized pigments to slow heat transfer through the coating. This mechanism mimics a hybrid of double glazing and traditional insulation, reflecting radiant heat while minimizing conductive heat flow. The coating can be applied to substrates at temperatures up to 70°C, allowing application without halting production. Its flexibility and adhesion ensure durability across complex geometries and extreme environments.
