Getting Technical- Ceramic Insulation Coatings

Re: Active Ingredients

For those who may be interested in totally correct technical information, we will 
explain this then you can go back to the article.

Ceramic Insulation Coatings are NOT ceramic as most people know ceramic.  
To most people, ceramics are clay type products such as tiles that are kiln fired. 

The "Active Ingredients" are actually Cenospheres which are Aluminum Silicate,
not ceramic clay. Some have small pieces of Titanium, but no ceramic clay.

In fact, most people we speak to about Ceramic Insulation think it is a special
clay. ...Ceramic Insulation is far more sophisticated than clay ingredients.

The best description is Aluminum Silicate which is basically purified sand used to 
make glass. Glass isn't ceramic, it's glass. In todays world, everything we buy
is either glass or ceramic, not a combination. We just think it's a bit confusing
to most consumers, and even dealers in the construction trade.

But as you can see, the Ceramic Insulation is certainly non-toxic. It is simply perfectly 
round beads of sand with a hollow center, and hardened to an incredible strength.

Since they are technically high grade glass, the "Ceramic beads" are compatible 
with virtually any liquid or paint or chemical, either alkaline or acid.  ...almost like a 
pharmaceutical grade glass bead.

When you buy "just" the Ceramic Insulation powder to mix into a paint, the MSDE
certificate will say "alumina-silcate" or something similar--because it is, ...just super
extremely fancy and versatile.

So for now, even we know better, we will call it "Ceramic Insulation Powder", and 
when mixed in paint, we will call it "Ceramic Insulation Paint", or "Coating".

Very, very, very fantastic and versatile stuff, but not really ceramic.
