Development of Ecological Thermal Insulation Route by using Multi Surface Chlorinated Rubber Paint

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to describe some of the important topics related to the use of chlorinated rubber paint for the thermal insulating purpose which can be applied on different surfaces. The term ‘Thermal insulation’ refers to the process of reducing the heat transfer between the surfaces using a special paint. The research aims at providing a thorough picture of the state-of-the-art in improving heat insulation property by chlorinated rubber paint. Traditional insulations absorb and slow down the travel of heat, but insulating paint reflects it. The refractive index of the paint plays an important role in reflecting sunlight rays. The higher refractive rubber paint can result in high thermal insulating paint. By using refractive binders and pigments, the overall refractivity of chlorinated rubber paint can be increased. By using such paints, thermal insulation can be done just by applying coats of paint on the different surfaces instead of using other thermal insulations. Insulating the walls with paint lowers the rate of heat transfer through the walls when the outdoor temperature exceeded the indoor temperature, and the added insulation layer also increases the retention of heat generated within the building when the outdoor temperature falls below the indoor temperature. The thermal insulating paint is made by use of chloroprene rubber and titanium dioxide which are having higher refractive index values. Different substrates like wooden slabs, cement paver, and metal sheets have been tested successfully for bonding with chlorinated paint. Hence, it serves the purpose of multi-surface paint. Different experiments have been done with cardboard and wooden boxes and noticeable temperature change is measured in interior and exterior environment. Insulating paint helps in reducing energy consumption for insulating purposes and it is economically beneficial too. To achieve thermal insulation, this application route will be advantageous in preventing adverse effects on the environment, by not adding more adverse effects to the environment. Hence, it can be the best eco-friendly green route for thermal insulation purposes.
