ISO 21702:2019 Viral Growth Test
99.8% Reduction in SARS-CoV-2
This test used a measured number of SARS-CoV-2 virus and measured the kill rate over a 24-hour period.
UVC Light Ray Exposure
900 Hrs. Passed With No Change
CoilSafe Plus® was exposed to UVC, and pencil harness and adhesion were tested every 200 Hours, with no change in the performance noted.
ANSI/UL 723 Flame & Smoke Spread
Flame Rating of 0, Smoke Rating of 0
This test used CoilSafe Plus® applied to a cement board and then subjected to a metered flame at a specified temperature and duration. With a flame rating of 0 and a smoke rating of 0, CoilSafe Plus® is a tier 1 material and highly resistant to flame or heat.
ThermalBlock™ (or ThermalBlock by Coat Zone™) Testing
ASTM C1549 Reflectivity Testing
Rating of .89 Achieved
This test places a sample in a light chamber and measures the percentage of visible light that is reflected off the surface. ThermalBlock™ reflects 89% of visible light.
ASTM C1371 Emissivity Testing
Rating of .87 Achieved
This test places a sample in a chamber and measures its resistance to heat gain from heat sources, such as air temperature and IR heat gain. ThermalBlock™ rejects 87% of heat gain from external sources.
ANSI/UL 723 Flame and Smoke Spread
Flame Rating of 5, Smoke Rating of 20
This test used ThermalBlock™ applied to a cement board and then subjected to a metered flame at a specified temperature and duration. With a flame rating of 5 and a smoke rating of 20, ThermalBlock™ is a tier 1 material and highly resistant to flame or heat.
ASTM D3363 Pencil Hardness Test
Rating of 4B
This test is conducted on a coated sample by using specific pencils with varying lead hardness, and the pencil is drawn across the surface to determine at what point it will scratch the surface. 4B is a mid-range hardness and demonstrates resistance to medium traffic and abrasion.
ASTM D3359 Adhesion Testing
Rating of 5A/5B
This test is conducted on a sample to determine how well it adheres to the surface and to determine the durability of the bond to the surface. 5A/5B are best in class ratings and are two tests conducted with an X cut on the surface and a cross hatch cut on the surface. With these results, we have an extremely good bond and long life of ThermalBlock™ bonded to a surface.
ASTM D882 Tensile strength
Rating of 5,374 psi
This test is conducted by using a prescribed thickness of ThermalBlock™ and applying a stretching pressure until the break point of the ThermalBlock™.
ASTM D882 Elongation test
Rating of 30% Expansion/Contraction
This test was conducted by UL Labs to determine the overall strength and the expansion and contraction abilities of the product. The results are excellent and show that ThermalBlock™ is a very durable product that will stand up over time.
NFRC 201-2017 SHGC Test
93% Reduction of Heat Transfer
Performed by Intertek Solar Labs. Test showed a 83.63 w/m², 93% reduction of heat transfer through the coated surface and a SHGC improvement from .09 uncoated versus .01 for a coated surface.
Solar Reflective Index
Low Wind: 108.0
Medium Wind: 108.24
High Wind: 108.46
Achieved an SRI of 108 across varying wind conditions, indicating excellent solar reflectivity and heat resistance properties.
Thermal Conductivity Test
K- Value: 13% Reduction
R-Value: 20% Increase
Test was conducted per ASTM C518-21, the coating reduced thermal conductivity by approximately 13%(K-Value) and increased thermal resistance by around 20%(R-Value) when applied to cement boards.
K-Value/
R-Value/U-Value
K-Value: 0.1775 W/mK
R-Value: 0.0485 m2K/W
U-Value: 21.37 W/m2K
The thermal conductivity (K-value) of the cement board is 0.2048 W/mK, which improves to 0.1775 W/mK with ThermaBlock™. Correspondingly, the thermal resistance (R-Value) increases from 0.0405 m2K/W to 0.0485 m2K/W, indicating enhanced insulation. As a result, the thermal transmittance (U-Value) decreases from 24.69 W/m2K for the uncoated board to 21.37 W/m2K with the coating, demonstrating improved energy efficiency.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Test
12 Grams Per Liter
ThermalBlock™ has a very low VOC level, aligning well with eco-friendly and indoor air quality standards, enhancing its appeal for residential and commercial markets.
ASTM C1549 Reflectivity Testing – 3 Year
Rating of .80 Achieved
This test places a 3-year-old sample in a light chamber and measures the percentage of visible light that is reflected off the surface. ThermalBlock™ reflects 80% of visible light.
ASTM C1371 Emissivity Testing – 3 Year
Rating of .87 Achieved
This test places a 3-year-old sample in a chamber and measures its resistance to heat gain from heat sources of air temperature and IR heat gain. ThermalBlock™ rejects 87% of heat gain from external sources.
Formaldehyde Test
