Questions and Answers
IS IT DIFFICULT TO APPLY?:
No… it’s easy to apply. Nansulate® Translucent insulation is easily applied with a paint brush, paint roller, or paint sprayer.
HOW DOES IT LOOK?
It dries to a touch, smooth, durable, semi-transparent surface.
SHOULD I BUY, TRANSLUCENT PT OR TRANSLUCENT GP?
PT is for metalic surface application, and GP is general purpose for all other surfaces.
HOW CAN I BUY IT?
Click on the “Order” button and you can purchase it right over the internet with our secure order processing form.
WHAT IF I NEED HELP OR HAVE QUESTIONS?
Most people find it easy to use and apply our insulation, but if you have a question you can reach our customer service department by email or by telephone to our Customer Service Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (Please see our Contact Page for email address or phone numbers for your area.) Your questions will be forward to the technician who can best help you they respond promptly.
IS THERE A WARRANTY?
Manufacturer's Limited Warranty: is for 5 years when applied as instructed and used as a Direct to Metal Coating. See full copy of Warranty for details.
Nansulate® QUICK FACTS:
Coat Thickness:
Each coat should be applied at between 3-5 wet mils. When applied too thick, you may experience cracking when drying. Most paint stores can supply you with an inexpensive wet mil thickness gauge.
Temperature Difference Range:
With each three coat application of Nansualte you will receive an average temperature difference of 60 degrees F. Due to the nature of heat transfer, the larger the difference between your high and low temperatures, the larger difference you will see with Nansulate®; The smaller difference between your high/low temperatures, the smaller difference you will see.
What is the R-Value of Nansulate®?
The R-Value is formulated using an inch of thickness as a measure. Due to the fact that Nansulate® is made to go on in a thin layer - less than an inch thick - an R-Value cannot be calculated for it. However the R-Value is only a measure of how a material works to insulate against Conduction, and not the other two methods of heat transfer, Convection and Radiation. Nansulate® will protect against all three methods of heat transfer and help to create a total thermal barrier, not only insulate by trapping air, as other insulations do.
