History of SPI and Thermal Ceramic Coatings - J.E. Pritchett & SPI Coatings

Super Therm® was developed as a ceramic thermal and solar heat block coating. In collaboration with the NASA, J.E. Pritchett created a water-based paint composed of four ceramic compounds embedded in a foundation of four resins.
Creation and progress of Super Therm® was achieved in NASA when trying to develop a heat shield for space shuttles that thanks to the advanced ceramic solar heat block technology resisted extreme heat fluctuations (see the Super Therm® story and science). neotechcoatings.com/coating-p...
On the basis of this, the manufacturer SPI II Inc. USA decided to collaborate in developing of their main product Super Therm® with the research centres at NASA. Successful development of the heat block coating with inimitable characteristics succeeded in particular thanks to collaboration of the scientists and ceramic engineers from Marshall Space Center (NASA). After 2 years of testing of more than 4000 different kinds of ceramic components 3 ceramics with the greatest ability of radiation reflection and the smallest heat conductivity were ultimately selected.

They Hold Heat...We Block Heat!
The ceramics used in Super Therm® do not conduct heat. Therefore, you will not feel any heat even when those ceramics are burned on your hand with a 1200°C burner.
Physics show that ceramics melts at thousands of centigrade unlike metal, plastics and fibreglass and ceramics do not release poisonous chemicals. Ceramics are a natural insulator.
Later research proved inevitability of blocking also infrared radiation. Therefore the fourth ceramic membrane was added. Applying knowledge from space environment, a unique ceramic solar heat block coating for civil usage was created - Super Therm®.
Super Therm® solar heat block coating manufacturers, SPI II Inc. accomplished their most important task - the coating provided not only the heat reflection like other ceramic “solar heat - reflecting” coatings on the market but also blocked most of the heat transfer. See NASA Testing results.
