This product just landed on my desk to be researched. I've found several websites listing this product and characteristics. Have any of you had experience with Ceramic Cover that you would like to share? Thanks!

Heather, I have no idea what kind of product this is? Can you elaborate a bit? |

I did a quick search using Google and found a description of ceramic cover. See: http://thermalprosystems.com/ Also do your own search of Google using "ceramic cover." There are several other websites. |

In addition to the website John mentioned, here are the other three that I've found useful in my research... www.phoenixthermal.com/ceramic_cover.shtml www.ziegler-industries.com/ZPages/new.html www.envirorem.com/thermalinsulation.html Here's the short description I've put together from the websites I've surfed: Ceramic-Cover™ is a radiant heat barrier protective coating with insulation properties. Ceramic-Cover™ provides protection from corrosion, eliminates radiant heat and in comparison testing has out performed 4 inches of R 20 foam with just a 20 mil application. Ceramic-Cover™ also maintains its high tensile strength and elasticity throughout a very wide temperature range. |

I noticed that it talks about repairs to what is coated stating that you can easily make any repairs to anything coated since all you have to do to remove the coating is scrape it off with a putty knife and put it in the trash. Then just recoat and its like new. That would make it very soft. From a technical point of view, its pretty interesting stuff. Mostly used in the processing industry and pipeline industry for its insulation properties. |

I saw the same statement, William. On another website I found the following statement: "In the event that the product needs to be removed, it can be cut and scrapped or sanded. The dust created from sanding the product is considered nuisance dust and contains no harmful material." After reading this statement, I came to the conculsion that the statement about removing the coating with a putty knife and put it in the trash was getting at the same point. Now I'm really interested to see what the rep will bring with him when he visits me this Friday! |
