Insulation
Applied Technical Services, Inc. in Marietta, GA performed a comparison test with Ceramic
Cover CC Systems 100 material versus a sample of R-20 (R-5/in) Styrofoam for Temperature
Resistivity/Heat Reflection. The procedure was to construct two identical galvanized steel boxes
in the form of miniature houses. House A was filled with four inches of the identified styrofoam
insulation and House B's exterior was coated with Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 to a thickness
of 0.016 of an inch. Each house was insulated in the same areas to simulate identical uninsulated
volume.
Certified Test Results • Applied Technical Services, Inc.
Note: Maximum Air Temperature Achieved Adjacent to House: 170º F.
For this particular test, the temperatures in the house coated with the Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 were on the average 7.8ºF cooler than the temperatures in the house filled with the R-20 Styrofoam.
based on thinnest measured thickness on a 12 x 12 test square.
Due to the differentiating measurements of density from sprayed application, it is difficult to get a consistent R Value. Therefore, R values must be equated by averaging the combined test results. According to OCM Laboratories, Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 has an R Value of 14.4 per inch remarkably out performing all insulation's charted below from the National Bureau of Standards and the ASHARE 1977 Fundamentals Handbook. However Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 has never been needed in a thickness over 1/4 of and inch.
Test results have proven that one coat or 20 mil of Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 eliminates radiant heat and reduces temperature greatly (60ºF to 80ºF degrees) on hot surfaces. Additional coats contribute a reduction in temperature between 40ºF to 45ºF. See Delta T Chart below for more information regarding mil thickness based on temperatures.

Ceramic Cover CC System 100
Insulation
Test results have proven that one coat or 20 mil of Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 eliminates radiant heat and reduces temperature greatly (60ºF to 80ºF degrees) on hot surfaces. Additional coats contribute a reduction in temperature between 40ºF to 45ºF.
Protection from UV Rays
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 can be applied directly over composites with 100% adhesion and no chemical adverse effect (i.e. tar roofing, asphalt shingles, paint, etc.) providing protection against UV Rays as well as insulating.
Adhesion
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 reaches full adhesive strength prior to final cure. Also based on disbondment within the coating, Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 shows an actual stronger bond to the substrate surface.
Flame Resistance
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 flame spread is rated 5 out of 100 according to Southwest Research Institute, Department of Fire Technology in San Antonio, TX and MSDS sheet reports flash point noncombustible. Therefore, Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 can be applied directly to hot surfaces in a wide temperature ranging from 34ºF to 400ºF without shut down.
Corrosion Protection
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 has no air pockets, therefore it impedes condensation, stops corrosion and has no loss of insulation properties when wet.
Condensation
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 has properties that are impervious to the environment such as a fungal-pesticide resistance - rating of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest). Additional tests have been administered: wind driven rain, hot/cold cycling, and chemical resistance. In each test and/or analysis, Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 "tested in the highest percentiles" of available products.
Chemical Resistance
Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 is an 84% solid latex high density material low in viscosity coating with high insulating properties and chemical resistance.
Chemical Content
Harland Associates Research Lab in San Francisco, CA, reports Ceramic Cover CC Systems 100 as having
0 (zero) grams of volatile organic compounds, (VOC's) less water per liter, and "is a compliant
coating with regard to VOC content requirement of the Bay Area,
Air Quality Management District," one of the strictly controlled air quality management districts in the U.S.A.
