Temp-Coat® has been approved and used by the US Navy and Coast Guard. Temp-Coat® is an innovative and environmentally safe ceramic insulation. 

Temp-Coat® was first developed for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration -USA) as an insulated coating for the U.S. Space Shuttle. Its’ success in those applications has brought it to the forefront of commercial, industrial and residential applications.

The ceramic coating is light, thin  and improves the looks of most trailer roofs. Climb up and look at most brands of horse trailer roofs, looks like 3rd grade applied the sealant. Temp-Coat® has an elastic finish that moves with your roof. Trailer manufactures have constant problems sealing aluminum roofs because of the expansion and contraction of aluminum, causing stretching rivets, bolts and sealant.

Think about the black streaks that roll down the sides of your aluminum horse trailer. Temp-Coat®  prevents oxygen and condensation from reaching the roof, preventing corrosion. Liquid Ceramic insulation is non toxic, totally green for the environment. Materials Analytical Services, LLC Certified Green, Temp-Coat® 101. Made from air filled ceramic and silicon beads, impervious to mold and mildew, acoustic dampening barrier and flame retardant. The ceramic coating sticks to almost anything.

Readings from Brighton Colorado in May. One of the many tests we recorded. Graph below are readings inside the trailer under the roof with ceramic coating and untreated aluminum skin. Read the difference in temperature. The inside temperature dramatic difference, shows how much heat radiates to the inside of a trailer.

Summer is almost here and it's about toasty trailer time. Ever ride in the back of your horse trailer on a hot day? Normally application of this product would be done in a factory or a shop, but Brian Jaeger is mobile and can come to you. He came to my yard, washed the trailer, scuffed the surface and taped it. Two coats of Temp-Coat® put the thickness at 40 mil with R20 insulation equivalent. Two hours to dry, pulled the tape and plastic, now I have a cool quiet trailer. When Logan Coach installs my Living Quarters, Brian will coat the inside of my trailer for sound deadening and more insulation. We'll use the probes again to measure what temperature differences we get.
 
 

                                                            

Brian mixes Temp-Coat product and did a great job taping and protecting my trailer decals. This is our tape mark between ceramic coating and non-coated. The roof was easily cleaned with soap and water thoroughly. Temp-Coat® is applied in layers and dries quickly.
 

                                       

Temp-Coat® has low overspray, so trailers and barns are easily protected. In the wind with no building to help, we kept busy keeping the plastic in place. The first coat applied is 20 mil, second coat is 40 mil and equivalent R20. When sprayed on first layer, it looks like a smooth textured bathroom wall. The second coat smoothes out even more, the roof is protected, quiet and cool.

 
 

Applying the second coat, looks like you painted the roof.

Next we'll insulate the the inside of the trailer in whatever color I want.

Treated and

untreated roof
 

Ceramic coating your buildings like your horse barn or shop, have the same benefits for noise and insulation.

Think about the polyurethane foam you see globbed on the roof and walls of some buildings. It looks like bird droppings and is thick. Compare that to sheet metal thin Temp-Coat® that looks like a textured paint on a bathroom wall.
