A joke came to mind completely out of place. Although, jokes can be used however you want and for whatever you want. In general, it was during some kind of war.
Our country supplied one of the warring countries with surface-to-air missiles. After the first use, an urgent message was received from buyers: “Thank you for the surface-to-air missiles. They hit the air perfectly. Now please send the surface-to-air missiles.” What I mean is that, no matter what they say, the paint, This is what paint is, it’s not mineral wool or some kind of Ursa. That’s why it’s naive to expect the effect that we get from insulation from paint. Still, it’s not the same characteristics. But the use of such paint in your (in in this case, my farm showed that she completed her task and continues to fulfill it. So, I'm starting over...
It looks like putty, or like paste. At first it is just a paste, or cream, applied quite easily to any surface. After hardening, or drying (whatever you want to call it), it hardens. It is better to apply with a spatula or a flat scoop or brush; it is practically impossible. The minimum application layer is six millimeters; if you can apply more, the heat will be retained better. The surface on which you will apply this insulation paint must traditionally be prepared, that is, cleaned and degreased, then this paint will last better and longer. As for the composition, there is a lot there. 
The means of protection against the penetration of cold are microgranules, between which there is air, hence the heat-saving effect is achieved. And of course, this paint contains a fixative so that this, so to speak, structure does not crumble. If you believe the characteristics of the paint, described in detail in the instructions for use, then it can withstand temperatures from minus sixty to plus two hundred and sixty degrees Celsius. It can be used for both external and internal work.
1) Application thickness of no more than six millimeters allows it not to take up much space.
2) Easy to apply to any surface.
3) Sticks great and lasts a long time.
4) It lasts quite a long time - up to fifteen years, sometimes longer.
5) To apply it, you need to have a minimum amount of tools.
6) Quite low consumption. (If you still use a brush or spray bottle, then the consumption decreases even more).
7) Possibility of application at any temperature, in the range specified above.
8) Easily dissolves with water (if it is thick, then it is necessary to apply distilled water).
I know of four types of such paint-armor: classic, that is, without any intricacies, costs about four hundred rubles per liter, Anticorrosive - the word speaks for itself. The advantage is that in some cases, it can also be used to treat an uncleaned surface. Its price is about ten rubles higher than that of the classics. Paint-armor, like Winter. This word also speaks for itself. Effectively used in cold weather. Costs more than the classic. forty rubles per liter. And finally, the last type of armor paint, Facade. It is most effective for exterior work and insulation of buildings. Its price is the same as classic paint. Such are the things. To be fair, I can say that I used only the last type of paint in my household. It was about four years ago, I covered a temporary shed at the dacha with this paint. No complaints.
I found three of them. The first is, of course, the price, which is somewhat high. The second is the relatively long drying time. And the third is that, no matter what is said, when sub-zero temperature it is not advisable to work.

The term “ultra-thin thermal insulation” refers to a group of paints with fillers made of ceramic microspheres with rarefied air inside, most often on acrylic base. This insulation has unique characteristics: with a minimum weight load, it completely covers building construction while protecting them from moisture and corrosion. Recognized leader in this field - Bronya paints and suspensions of domestic production.
This is a homogeneous suspension white, forming a matte film after drying high density and resistance to most external influences. The insulation effect is achieved by retaining heat inside the ceramic granules, elasticity - thanks to the acrylic base, other parameters - by introducing catalysts, anti-corrosion and antiseptic additives. Depending on the intended purpose (specific functions are indicated in the table below), cost and properties, 11 modifications are distinguished thermal insulation compounds Armor:
- Basic: Classic, Facade, Winter, Anticorrosive.
- Budget: Station wagon, Wall, Nord, Metal (brands with similar characteristics, but cheaper).
- Specialized: Standard, Light, Fire protection.
Basic specifications thermal insulation:
- Thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.0012 W/m K according to the manufacturer’s statement.
- Vapor permeability is 0.001 mg/m·h·Pa for Bronya Classic, Anticor and 0.013 for brands that are recommended to be purchased for thermal insulation of facades and walls.
- The average density of the composition is 0.558 g/cm3.
- Frost resistance – up to 50 cycles without change appearance coverings.
- Flammability group - NG and G1 depending on the form of release.
- Adhesion to the base: 1.33 MPa - to cement mortars and concrete, 2.04 – for brick, 2.3 – for metal.
- Standard operating temperature range: from -60 °C to +200 (up to 140 for budget modifications).
- The service life of Bronya insulation is at least 15 years.
The consumption of liquid thermal insulation declared by the manufacturer is 1 liter per 1 m2 with a thickness of the applied layer of 1 mm, reviews confirm this. This indicator strongly depends on the quality of preparation and the evenness of the working base. The minimum drying time for a thin layer of Bronya paint is 1 hour; it takes a day to completely harden.
Due to its high adhesion, ultra-thin thermal insulation is optimal for insulating pipe lines, metal containers and surfaces; according to reviews, in this regard, it is better and more convenient than rolled mineral wool. The scope of application is practically unlimited and includes horizontal, vertical and inclined structures inside and outside residential and industrial buildings. It is recommended to buy Bronya paint for thermal insulation of slopes, facades, roofs, floors, ventilation, water heaters, tanks, refrigeration chambers and similar objects. According to reviews, the maximum effect is achieved when insulating hard-to-reach and limited-space systems, including underground ones.
Work begins with surface preparation: removing loose areas, old coatings, removing rust, degreasing or dusting. This insulation has good adhesion to any building materials, but installation on an uneven or unstable base unnecessarily increases consumption. The paint adheres better if the surface is pre-treated with Bronya primers. The composition is applied to clean and dry structures using an airless sprayer with a pressure of 60-80 bar or a brush with soft natural bristles.
Immediately before installation, the liquid thermal insulation is mixed (manually or with a construction mixer) and, if necessary, diluted (exclusively with distilled water). The process requires care; it is important to leave the microspheres intact. The volume of injected liquid is limited: for manual staining it should not exceed 5%, for mechanized staining - 3. The same applies to external parameters: when thermal insulation works in conditions high humidity It is better not to dilute the paint with anything. Ignoring these requirements leads to an increase in the drying time of the layer and is considered a violation of technology. An exception is made only during preliminary application (when the main Bronya composition is used as a primer), in this case up to 30% water is added.
The specific conditions of work and the recommended layer thickness depend on the brand, but it is better to apply an ultra-thin coating of thermal insulation several times than once, but thickly. According to reviews, to achieve the correct subtlety, you need to perform quick and short strokes. The number of layers of Bronya insulation is determined by a special calculation, but at a minimum the optical thickness should be achieved (0.5 mm, walls or structural elements do not show through the paint), the maximum is 6 mm. Each subsequent layer is performed only after the previous one has completely dried.
Review Reviews
“I bought Bronya Universal heat-insulating paint to insulate a balcony; it took me 15 liters for 14 m2. I applied it after sealing the cracks, in one layer with a regular soft brush. The thickness was no more than 1 mm, which helped save space. Condensation does not accumulate on the walls of the balcony; the material protects well from heat loss.”
Roman, St. Petersburg.
“I used liquid insulation of the Bronya Stena brand to insulate an extension in a private house, I am completely satisfied with the result. The material withstood the winter without being covered with condensation and frost, the room retains heat better. The paint is expensive, but it is used sparingly; on average, 1 m2 will cost 500 rubles, but there is no need for it additional protection».
Georgy, Moscow.
“I advise you to buy Bronya paint for insulation window slopes outside, any brand will do. It withstands ultraviolet radiation well, additionally insulates the opening from heat loss, moisture penetration and partially from extraneous sounds. Personally, I applied it to plaster, but it will also work plastic slope“, the adhesion of this type of insulation is very high.”
Alexey, Moscow region.
“I worked with Bronya Anticor thermal insulation last summer, used it to protect ventilation ducts and a heating pipeline between two houses with a common boiler. I didn’t notice any flaws in the paint; in my opinion, the coating does the job better roll insulation and it looks neat at the same time.”
Evgeniy, Volgograd.

Technologies for energy saving and thermal insulation of residential and industrial buildings are rapidly developing, new materials are constantly appearing, which are very different in their mechanism of action from the heat insulators that were used before.
One of these materials is liquid thermal insulation armor, or, as it is also called, thermal paint. In this article we will look at the most popular brands of liquid thermal insulation: “Bronya”, “Izollat”, “Astratek”, their characteristics and scope of application.
Liquid thermal insulation - what is it?
Warm paint is newest material, with the help of which a very thin thermal insulation layer is created on the insulated surface. Liquid thermal insulation has truly unique qualities, thanks to which it is possible to achieve a noticeable effect in saving heat with a layer of insulation 1 millimeter thick. Like many of the latest developments, thermal paint is a product of the space industry. Having proven itself well in this industry, liquid thermal insulation has begun to be actively used in construction.
Liquid thermal insulation is applied using a brush, roller, or airless spraying. After the material has completely polymerized, a layer of thermal insulation is formed on the insulated surface, which has excellent energy-saving characteristics. The coating works as a “thermal mirror”, thus ensuring heat retention inside the room.
Thermal paint consists of the following components:
Filler. It is a mixture of ceramic, glass and polymer balls, invisible to the naked eye. The inside of the balls is filled with air.
Binder. Made from latex or acrylic.
Supplements The composition of the additives depends on where exactly the thermal paint is intended to be used.
The composition of the thermal paint directly determines its properties, as well as the requirements for the insulated surface and, accordingly, the method of applying the material. Therefore, in order to get the desired result, before purchasing a thermal paint, you need to pay attention to its composition and scope of application.
How does liquid thermal insulation work?
Warmth, as everyone knows from school course physics, is transmitted in three ways:
- Thermal conductivity. Thermal energy transmitted from a warm object to a cold one. Thermal paint contains only 20 percent of components that can conduct heat.
- Convection. Heat is transferred by the substance itself. Due to the fact that most of the mass of liquid thermal insulation consists of balls, convection losses are negligible.
- Radiation. Heat is transferred due to internal energy heated substance. Thanks to the same hollow balls, the thermal paint reflects and dissipates heat. Almost 90% of thermal energy is reflected and remains in the room. The principle is somewhat similar to how a thermos works.
Liquid thermal insulation for facades
Facade thermal paint can be used for insulation of both household and industrial facilities. The most popular brands of facade liquid thermal insulation: “Astratek”, “Isollat”, “Bronya Classic”, “Bronya Facade” - are also used for insulating wooden buildings.
Isollat brand insulation contains special substances that provide the surface with a self-cleaning effect - rain washes away all dirt and dust from the surface.
Purposes of facade thermal insulation:
Reducing heat loss through the facade to a minimum, saving on air conditioning during the warm period.
Insulation of internal walls.
Insulation of balconies, loggias.
Insulation of floors and basements.
Applying thermal paint to the internal and external walls of a building helps not only to conserve heat and save on heating costs, but also prevents the appearance of fungus, mold, condensation and icing of the walls.
For buildings that require additional protection from fire, there are special modifications of thermal paints with a flammability class of “NG”: “Armor fire protection”, “Akterm Fireproof”, “Korund Vulcan”, “Akterm NG”.
Before applying liquid thermal insulation, the surface must be properly prepared, otherwise the consumption of liquid thermal insulation will increase and adhesion problems may occur. Instructions for surface treatment are included with the material, but in the vast majority of cases, a deep penetration acrylate primer is used.
If you believe numerous customer reviews, it is not advisable to cover the entire facade with thermal paint. But the treatment of individual areas with a heat insulator - for example, slopes and others hard to reach places gives excellent results.
Liquid insulation for work in winter
It differs from other analogues in that it can be applied to the surface when negative temperatures. This includes brands such as “Akterm Nord”, “Korund Zima”, “Bronya Zima”.
Thermal paint "Akterm Nord" retains its properties at a temperature of -300C. A mixture consisting of white spirit and solvent is used as a solvent for this thermal insulation material. Before applying Akterm Nord paint, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. When working with this material, there are restrictions on surface humidity: for plaster and brick no more than 5%, for concrete 4%. Humidity environment should not exceed 75-80%.
This thermal paint is a water-inactive system. It contains a mass of microgranules that have closed pores. Microgranules are in a solution of silicone-modified resin. Various plasticizers, fungicides and biocides are used as additional components.
Application of liquid thermal insulation materials to hot pipes
For insulation of various types of pipelines, chimneys, ventilation and air ducts, the following brands of thermal paint are used: “Korund Classic”, “Akterm Standard”, “Keramoizol”.
In order to achieve maximum results, the so-called “sandwich technology” is used when insulating pipes, according to which layers of liquid insulation alternate with layers of fiberglass having a thickness of 0.5 mm. A total of 4-5 layers are applied. To ensure a smooth surface, last layer apply a special varnish.
If necessary, isolate polymer pipe, first perform a grip test. If the pipe surface is dry and clean, then no problems should arise.
Liquid thermal insulation "Armor" - scope and technical characteristics
The very name of this thermal insulation material indicates what it is reliable protection. The material was developed at the Volgograd Innovation Resource Center. American developments were taken as a basis, on the basis of which it was possible to obtain an improved thermal insulation material at a price affordable for the average consumer.
Why is liquid thermal insulation armor so popular among buyers, in given time only positive ones?
The manufacturer presents a wide range of its products: “Bronya Classic”, “Bronya Anticor”, “Bronya Winter”, “Bronya Facade”, “Bronya Light”. Each type of paint has clearly defined and tested technical characteristics. Therefore, there will be no problems with the choice of insulator and method of its application.
All Bronya brand products are environmentally friendly and safe for health. Thermal insulation armor does not burn, it is easy to apply to all types of surfaces, the service life of the thermal insulation is several decades.
And if you decide to opt for this brand, then you can buy armor liquid thermal insulation much cheaper than its analogues, since this insulation is produced in Russia.
thermal paint "Astratek" - main characteristics
"Astratek" is the latest thermal insulation material on water based, which contains microscopic spheres made of ceramics. Acrylic polymers are used as a binder.
This thermal paint is used in the energy sector, in construction for insulation of walls, facades, floors, roofs, slopes, water pipes with hot and cold water, ventilation and air conditioning systems. “Astratek” creates an ultra-thin thermal insulation layer on the surface, which prevents condensation and protects the surface from corrosion, mold and fungi. The paint can be applied to concrete, polymer, brick and metal surfaces. “Astratek” can withstand temperature changes from -600C to +2500C.
The paint is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and absolutely non-flammable. At temperatures above 8000C, the insulator begins to decompose into carbon and nitrogen oxides, which significantly slow down combustion.
liquid thermal insulation "Isollat". Insulation of metal structures with liquid thermal insulation
This brand is recommended for application to the surface of prefabricated metal structures: garages, hangars, warehouses, etc. Maximum effect is achieved by double-sided surface treatment - outside and inside. Thus, the paint protects the room from the inside from heat loss, and from the outside from excessive heating during the warm season.
If it is necessary to apply Isollat to galvanized metal, the surface must first be degreased, as problems with adhesion may arise. For complete confidence, you can apply an inexpensive primer, for example, GF-1 brand, to the galvanized surface.
"Isollat" does not stick well to of stainless steel and aluminum due to the oxide film formed on the surface of these metals. Therefore, before applying thermal paint to these materials, it is necessary to pre-treat them with a primer.
Which thermal paint should I choose?
We hope that the above material will to some extent help you decide on the choice of liquid heat insulator. And in order to simplify the issue of choosing paint as much as possible, below we will give approximate prices for insulation materials intended for walls and other structural elements of a residential building.
“Corundum classic” cost 10 liters – 3700-4960 rubles.
Astartek Universal" cost 1 liter - 415-450 rubles.
“Bronya Classic” cost 1 liter – 380-415 rubles.
