Interior radiation control coating
- Interior radiation control coating
Interior Radiation Control Coating Systems (IRCCS), sometimes referred to as Radiant Barrier Coatings. ASTM (The American Society for Testing and Materials) and RIMA (Reflective Insulation Manufacturer's Association) have established an industry standard for evaluating paints claiming to have insulating characteristics. The energy conserving property has been defined as thermal emittance and those coatings qualified as Interior Radiation Control Coatings must show a thermal emittance of 0.25 or less. Thermal Emittance is the ability of a surface to release radiant energy that it has absorbed. The IRCCS standard of 0.25 or less means that an IRCCS will block 75% or more of the radiant heat transfer. Uses of IRCCS can vary from residential and commercial building insulation to industrial and automotive applications and much more.
