4 Thermal Insulating Paint Nutshell Nano Emulsion is a, water based thermal insulating wall emulsion Incorporates Surfapore Thermodry Nano technology Increases the energy efficiency of your build & helps to cut heat loss Reduces temperature variation on walls thereby reducing condensation & mould growth Can be over coated with Nutshell Super Eco Emulsion, Super Eco Emulsion Plus or standard emulsion or even wallpapered over using Nutshell Wallpaper Paste Available in.5l & 5L Coverage 8-10m per Litre Nanotechnology and Microtechnology makes Nutshell Nano Emulsion, thermal insulating and water repelling. Nutshell Nano Emulsion 'blocks' thermal transfer and protects against moisture making the paint water repelling! It protects against water condensation resisting mould growth on walls. Thermal energy 'travels' through walls and other surfaces. Therefore large amounts of energy are required for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Nutshell Nano Emulsion does not only reflect thermal radiation, but resists heat transfer through various surfaces! The triple action of Nutshell Nano Emulsion, i.e. thermal radiation reflectance, the resistance in heat transfer and water repellence, contribute in the protection of interior or exterior painted surfaces and the energy efficiency of buildings. As Nutshell Nano Emulsion does not only reflect thermal radiation, but resists heat transfer, in this manner you enjoy increased energy efficiency, a reduced CO footprint and a comfortable environment! Nutshell Nano Emulsion is water repelling meaning the nanoparticles contained protect paints from moisture extending their lifetime and increase their thermal insulating ability. Further, it reduces temperature variation on walls (thermal bridges), protecting against water condensation and bacteria or mould growth!

5 International Standards Testing Independent certification agencies certify that the use of Nutshell s SurfaPore ThermoDry Nano Emulsion reduces their thermal conductivity by at least 4 times (0,19 W/(mk), EN1667) What is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology refers to the scientific field, which deals with very small structures, usually sized below 100nm. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter (10 9m). It is so small that if the earth were a meter in diameter, then a nanometer would have been the size of an apple! Nano sized materials reveal unique properties when compared to ordinary, bulk materials or even molecules.
