Advanced Thermal Insulating Coatings
Gemstone offers state-of-the-art thermal insulating coatings—spray-applied coatings engineered to deliver thin-film insulation (typically 20–200 mils thick) without bulky traditional insulation. These coatings use ceramic or aerogel microspheres suspended in acrylic or epoxy binders to create a protective thermal barrier that’s safe to the touch, effective, and maintenance-friendly.
Personnel Safety & Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Protection
Our coatings keep exterior surfaces below OSHA’s 140 °F touch threshold, even when asset temperatures exceed 300 °F—preventing burns without the need for cages or thick insulation jackets. They also eliminate insulation jacketing systems that often trap moisture and lead to CUI, potentially reducing repairs and unplanned downtime.
Energy Efficiency & Heat Retention
Thermal coatings help maintain process temperatures by reducing heat loss. Industrial users frequently report energy savings up to 20–30 %, and these coatings offer added benefits like reduced condensation, slip prevention, and extended equipment life.
Typical Asset Applications
We apply these coatings to:
Steam piping and boilers
Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
Tanks, pipelines, ductwork
Processing equipment and hoppers
Coatings are rated up to 350 °F, and can be customized in thickness and color to align with project requirements
