ThermaCels - Insulating Paint Additive 12 Gallon Box

I researched the living daylights out of this product so I knew exactly what we were getting into. The only trouble that we had was trying to find a professional painter that would agree to mix it with the paint and apply it to our home. Big strike out. We found a handyman That took no issue. He mixed it with the paint that we purchased according to the directions. We did have to buy him a new nozzle because the product did wear his nozzle down significantly. It does not look any different than if we painted without the product however it reflects/rejects/bounces back heat that would normally come from our hot Arizona sun. We purchased enough to mix with the primer that was first applied, and then mixed again the recommended amount with the paint that went over the primer. It looks truly amazing and does not provide any indication that there is anything in the paint. That really mattered because I didn’t want our home to be sparkly or have some weird additive looking effect. It just simply looks professionally beautifully painted by the handyman that did the work. I helped him throughout much of the process. I highly recommend this product. It is like having a secret barrier or shield over your home.

Therma cells work great for some applications but many people seem to miss-interpret the benefits of using it.I used it on my school bus conversion's interior walls and did some testing on it. I used Rust-Oleum bedliner and did a thick two-coat application for reference. I would highly recommend a thicker coating like a bedliner for use with this product.I found that my walls were noticeably cooler after applying the coating. My 1st control was an un painted area which was too hot to hold a hand to after sitting in the sun all day, 2nd control was bed liner with no Therma Cells and then I had the area I applied it to. The second area was about 4 degrees cooler than the first but still noticeably hot to the touch. The Therma Cell area was only another 2 degrees cooler than the second, but it was not warm to the touch.My conclusion is that it seems like Thermacells are very effective at lowering the HEAT CAPACITY of a coated material, but not necessarily it's actual temperature. This means that thermacells will make the coated area a poor condutor of heat to the air around it, but won't necessarily work wonders on the actual temperature of the material itself.I'd definitely purchase this again as it seemed to cut down radient heat and touch-surface's (perceived, not really actual) temperatures noticeably.

Did three coats around in wall stove excellent job of heat transfer outside of the wood cabinet was cool to the touch with oven on.

This stuff does help. I have a block wall which faces west in phoenix az. I tested several areas one with white paint, one white with additive and one the medium brown of the original house color. Original house was 148 degrees plus the white alone dropped temp 20 degrees and finally the white with one coat of additive dropped temp by 30 degrees . at 10 to 15 extra dollars per gallon I figure here in the hottest city in the country its gonna be well worth the money even if its on 10 - 15 degrees. With our insane heat and an uninsulated block wall every bit helps!

This product was packaged well and arrived quickly. I've heard of a product like this from a local company that does roofing,windows and house painting. They showed me the amazing insulating benefits of the paint and the amazing lack of heat transfer to prevent the suns scorching heat from heating the interior. It does make a noticeable difference. It helps keep the a/c to run alittle less. I don't have a lot of windows, but I noticed the rooms with a windows would get a little warm but not like before. The paint additive did make a difference. Oooh. That local company with this special paint wanted to charge me $20k. I'm soo happy to find this company that carries this special paint and additive to mix in your own paint for a more affordable price. Thank you. Customer for life.

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted this product to work. Saw the reviews of the nice lady with the IR gun shooting her metal panel wall with nearly a 20+ deg swing. I couldn’t believe it.My intent was to use this product mixed with two gallons of your basic Glidden interior satin paint to paint the metal structural support beams of my metal building before hanging OSB on the walls and prevent, or at least mitigate radiant heat transfer.To my surprise, and still not even sure how it’s possible… the bare metal with the sun pounding on it from the outside of COOLER than the painted portions of this product. How is that even possible?Yes, it was the two gallon kit, it was mixed with a speed paddle, and rolled on. It does have a suede/sandy like texture.It’s one thing for a product not to work as intended, it’s completely something else when they make the situation worse than the intended goal. This cost plus the $50 worth of paint.. all in the trash!ABSOLUTE SNAKE OIL! I would love to hear from the seller and their commentary on these results.

My Laser and 3D Printers are located in the sun facing side of my double wide. Last summer I could only stand to work in there in the early am and late evening. After two coats of the treated paint (ceramic beads mixed in) I am in the room comfortably so far any time of the day. Siding exterior temp before painting (using a laser temp gun) 111F. After one coat of paint dried 30 min a recorded a temp of 85F. Two hours later after the second coat I recorded a temp of 76F. The outside temp when I started painting was 75F and by end of painting was 88F.I painted my AC housing and the tin duct leading under the structure. My AC seems to have benefited from this as it works much quieter, the compressor seems to not work as hard as before.After I finish painting the entire structure I think i'll put a 3rd coat just on my work area. Very happy with this product.
