Teijin starts to sell coatings with high thermal insulation properties, which can be used for thermal insulation protection of various materials such as CFRP

On August 16, Japan's Teijin Teijin announced through its official website that it will start selling "Solfrio" type thermal insulation coatings, which are characterized by high thermal insulation effect and smooth and beautiful finish
.

"Solfrio" type thermal insulation paint is developed and produced by Teijin Frontier Co.
, Ltd.
, headquartered in Kita Ward, Osaka City.
It uses special spherical fine ceramics as raw materials, which has high thermal insulation, can achieve smooth, and has a beautiful painted surface and other serialization advantages
.
Teijin Frontier has proposed the "THINK ECO" environmental strategy, which involves the development and production of materials and products that contribute to energy saving in a wide range of application fields from clothing to industrial materials
.
The company will also focus on providing energy-saving solutions in the future, starting with the "Solfrio" that has been launched this time
.

01 Background

In recent years, with the increasing trend of global warming, the degree of health hazards caused by the heat and heat has also become more serious.
Products put forward higher demand
.
Thermal insulation coatings have been well-received in the market as a strategy to prevent thermal damage and also have significant energy-saving features
.
However, for the existing product system, it is impossible to widen the application field, that is, it is usually unable to correspond to a wide range of materials, and it is difficult to obtain a smooth and beautiful coating appearance after coating treatment
.

Based on the above research background, Teijin Frontier has successfully developed the thermal insulation coating "Solfrio" which can obtain a smooth and beautiful painted surface by using special fine ceramics as raw materials.
A wide range of materials, such as CFRP, exhibit high thermal insulation effects, and this time they are planning to start mass sales
.

02 Advantages of thermal insulation coatings

This coating product has four notable features, the main features are as follows:

It has a remarkable high thermal insulation effect: the average particle size of this coating is 0.
5μm, it can effectively reflect the near-infrared rays in sunlight by forming a coating film of uniformly arranged spherical special fine ceramics, thereby effectively inhibiting the painted surface temperature rises
.

Smooth and glossy painted surface: After coating treatment with this paint, a smooth and beautiful glossy painted surface with less unevenness and high ductility can be achieved
.
Therefore, the paint can also be used for other aesthetic applications
.

The thin film thickness can form a high hardness surface: the standard thickness of the coating film is 80 μm, which can be easily handled whether it is dried at room temperature or dried within 100 ° C, thus achieving high work efficiency
.
In addition, after the coating treatment, the surface hardness of the material is pencil hardness 3H and high hardness, so the painted surface is not easily scratched and has high durability
.

Can be applied to a variety of materials: Another advantage of this coating is that it can be used for circulating materials of furnace bodies, inorganic materials such as concrete, metal materials such as iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and material systems in different fields such as plastics and CFRP
.

03 Future Planning

At present, coatings for outdoor equipment such as roofs, outer walls, outdoor units of air conditioners, and distribution panels have been sold.
Subsequently, the sales scope of this coating will be further expanded to outdoor sports facilities, appliances, containers, metal materials and other fields
.

For specific turnover, the company expects to achieve sales of 50 million yen in 2021, while sales are expected to reach 300 million yen by 2024
