Created by a group of engineers from Stanford University, the new insulating paints are designed to enhance energy efficiency by reflecting up to approximately 80% of mid-infrared light and a portion of near-infrared light. These innovative paints are available in a variety of colors, including white, blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, and dark grey.

The Benefits of New Insulating Paints

The new insulating paints have demonstrated an impressive reduction of up to 36% in the energy used for heating. However, Manti Ceramic, even in its liquid paint version, offers superior performance in terms of thermal insulation.

How Do Insulating Paints Work?

How can buildings be insulated without the need for complex panel installations? This is precisely the goal of new insulating paints. These coatings feature low emissivity (or high reflectance), significantly reducing the absorption of infrared thermal radiation.

The integration of color into these specialized materials is the result of extensive research by engineers at Stanford University. Their team has successfully developed colored paints that provide coatings with low emissivity in infrared (IR) wavelengths. Specifically, these coatings reflect up to 80% of mid-infrared light along with a small portion of near-infrared radiation. This technology follows the same principles as the medium-density Manti Ceramic, which achieves even better performance levels.

A Touch of Color for Low-Emission Paints

The material consists of two distinct layers that must be applied separately. The first layer is an IR-reflective base that utilizes aluminum flakes, while the second is an ultra-thin infrared-transparent coating incorporating inorganic nanoparticles. This upper layer determines the paint’s color. Scientists have formulated this innovative paint in multiple shades, including white, blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, and dark grey. The infrared radiation passes through the colored layer, reflects off the aluminum-containing layer, and is redirected outward without penetrating the building materials.

Practical Applications of New Insulating Paints

The application process is straightforward. When applied to building facades and roofs, these insulating paints help keep indoor spaces cooler by reducing heat absorption. Experimental tests have shown that this advanced low-emissivity coating can decrease the energy required for cooling interior spaces in artificially hot conditions by nearly 21%.

Conversely, these new insulating paints also help retain indoor heat when applied to interior walls. In controlled studies, they have demonstrated the ability to reduce heating energy consumption by up to 36%.

A Competitive Alternative in the Market

While these new insulating paints offer a promising alternative for energy efficiency, they have yet to match the superior performance of Manti Ceramic. However, they represent an exciting development in thermal insulation technology, expanding the range of available solutions for improving building efficiency.

THE INSTALLATION OF HIGH DENSITY CERAMIC COVERINGS

Today we will talk about the installation of Manti Ceramic. Manti Ceramic is a nanotechnological thermal insulation system with the great advantage of very low thickness (a few millimetres), thanks to the sum of the heat shield and thermal resistance effects of the molecular lattice composed of ceramic microspheres with internal void and a binder which further inhibits the passage of heat.

The advantages of Manti Ceramic

One of the main advantages of the product is that it is not in panels, but is in paste (in the High Density version), and therefore can be applied with a spatula in several coats. This installation method guarantees a homogeneous and continuous insulation system, without leaving thermal bridges.

Another great advantage is the speed of installation. The installation of Manti Ceramic Alta density takes place in a third, sometimes even a quarter, of the time compared to a traditional high thickness coat.

Discover the installation of Manti Ceramic

The application is in fact quite simple. We check that the bottom of the walls is healthy. If not, we proceed with restoration, patching or re-plastering of the bottom plaster. When the surface is healthy (or healed), after adequate cleaning, apply the Manti fixative with a roller or brush. As soon as it has dried, the first coat of the High Density Ceramic Manti is applied with a notched trowel. The thickness of the notching depends on the final thickness to be achieved. At least 24 hours of drying are needed and then the second coat is applied with a smooth trowel, filling the channels of the toothed surface. At this point, fresh on fresh, the fiberglass mesh is applied. Wait another 24 hours at least and then proceed with the third and final coat, again with a smooth spatula.

The finish above the high density must always be thick, and therefore with a colored breathable civil plaster. We recommend Silox Plaster from Savenergy. Alternatively, you can use the medium density version (with roller application in three coats, can be painted in colour). The use of medium density also allows you to save not only on the plaster, but also on the quantity of high density, having a very high-performance insulating capacity.</p>

Many people would like to thermally insulate their home from the inside, either because they own apartments in condominiums that do not want to do the complete work, or to avoid intervening on the outside, or for other reasons. Thickness is the problem when insulating from the inside.
Conventional insulation needs significant thickness, 10 to 20 centimetres, and this would reduce the available interior space and force invasive work (presence of radiators, electrical boxes, interior window thresholds, etc. etc.). The ideal solution is certainly the Manti Ceramic microcoat. Also because it allows you to thermally insulate from the inside!

Manti Ceramic is a product in two possible versions, one in paste (with spatula application) and a more liquid one (with roller application) which allows you to create a coat of very low thickness, from 1 mm to a maximum of 10 mm (equivalent to the insulation of traditional high-thickness coats from 4 to 20 centimetres!).

It is COMPLETE WITH EVERY CERTIFICATION and has an insulating power much superior to classic thermal coats. It is a product that combines the effect of HEAT SHIELD and THERMAL RESISTANCE. It is in fact a very high performance nanotechnological product. It is very easy to apply for professional companies.
It also has many other advantages that make it ideal for in-house application. It is in fact non-toxic, anti-mold, fireproof and very breathable.

It therefore improves internal comfort as well as providing considerable insulating capacity for both winter and summer. This determines significant economic savings on heating and air conditioning (up to almost 50%).

The paste version, called High Density, with spatula application in several coats, allows you to reach the energy efficiency parameters to obtain a 65% tax deduction. The liquid version alone, called Medium Density, allows you to achieve a 50% reduction with a minimum thickness (1 or 2 mm maximum). However, the insulation result will be excellent. This version also allows you to correct the thermal bridges of the internal partitions and of the ceiling slab in the parts bordering the outside.
