Default Insulating Paint Additive

Hi all,

Anyone got any experience with this product?

http://www.thermilate.com/

It's a paint additive that's supposed to improve the insulating
properties of the surface it's applied to, but I'm a wee bit dubious
about it. I'm thinking of buying a pouch of 550g.

If you know anything about this product, I'd appreciate it if you could
let me know what you think of it.

Cheers,

Ryan




The moment I saw '*up to* 25%' I smelt a rat..as well as 'reflecting
energy back'.

The largest heat loss is via conduction: even the best insulants need
thickness. Paint isn't thick.

Unless I have missed fundamental point this one goes under 'green****
ecobollox'
