Energy Saving

Over 90% of Australia's energy comes from coal fired power stations which burn fossil fuels to produce energy. Unfortunately they also produce carbon dioxide and other poisonous gases that contribute to the Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming. Saving Energy can help save the planet.

Thermilate insulating paint additive

Simply add to paint to reflect heat and save energy and money!

Heat-reflective insulating additive/powder when added to a range of paints helps to reflect heat and reduce heat transfer through a structure. Can reduce heat loss/gain by 25%. In hot climates it is to be applied to external walls and roofs. For cold climates it is applied to internal walls and ceilings to reduce heat loss. Scientifically tested and approved by leading institutions all over the world. Ideal for adding extra insulation to an extension, rumpus room or cabin.

A 550g pack is enough for 5 litres of paint - just $55-oo

The microspheres in the powder act as mini thermos flasks. Thermilate powder is mixed with ordinary paint (one pack mixes into 5 litres of paint) to make an insulating coating that can keep heat in or out. Ideal for insulating buildings, rooms, water tanks, hot or cold water pipes. Thermilate has many applications, from building to marine.
