Temp-Coat® Review by Kent Sundling ~ "Mr. Truck"

Imagine you're a horse, it's August, you're in a metal trailer, it’s hot, you’re hot and sweaty. The roof is popping as it expands from the heat, keeping you worried and on edge. The whole trailer radiates with heat like a pressure cooker. All you want to do is throw yourself to the floor and Colic. Of course your owner is in the truck with the AC on all the way, listening to a Taylor Swift CD and slurping on a Big Gulp. Now, think about the trailer being 20 to 30 degrees cooler, the roof isn't popping like a loose tarp in a windstorm and there's no condensation dripping on your nose. 

Temp-Coat®  ceramic liquid insulation can make as much as 30 degrees difference inside your trailer. Our testing was in May, averaging 20 to 25 degrees most of the time. Imagine what July and August would be like? That's the difference between needing Air Conditioning and not, and not needing a generator to mostly run the AC. Dry camping could last longer.  Temp-Coat is a green product, cool to the touch. Same benefit for your barn or shop. This is cutting edge trailer, building and barn insulation technology.

Brian Jaeger, President of Innovative Green Solutions applied Temp-Coat® on my aluminum roofed horse trailer. We split the roof in

half with the front half above my dressing room and the second half above the horse stalls. We attached 2 wire probes outside, treated and untreated, the same 2 inside. The Omega data logger collected temperature from the 4 sensors.

Big difference was how much heat made it inside. The wire on untreated aluminum was open, with the majority of the untreated roof shaded by my deck. With the rear uncovered, the heat would have build up even more.  The chart below shows temperatures inside the trailer under the roof. Looking at the chart temperature difference between treated and untreated roof inside, is dramatic.

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.
