FAQ TK88 Thermal Heat Coating
What Surfaces does Thermal Coating adhere to?
It has excellent adhesion on clean surfaces i.e.
- carbon steel,
- aluminum,
- galvanized metal,
- wood,
- fiberglass,
- concrete as well as on
- most industrial primers and automotive paints.
Always test before applying.
Ideal for insulating roofs and walls of refrigerated
trucks, building roofs, roll-up doors, RV’s, etc
Can this be used on roof exterior of a fiberglass travel Trailer?
The Thermal coating adheres very well to fiberglass substrates without primer application. However, a couple of factors are at play. If the Casita is older it might have some deterioration from UV exposure. This white chalky residue needs to be removed before the Thermal coating is applied.
- Scrub the area with a citrus based cleaner ( ie ZEP, Citrus Blast, Simple Green, etc) and a Clean scuffing pad.
- Rinse well and let dry.
- Sand with 150 grit sand paper.
- Remove sanding dust.
The coating is thick and can be rolled but difficult to get a nice even finish when rolled. It is a lot easier to spray. Because the coating is heavy, overspray is no issue like with other automotive paint.
In this case, more is better.
Our testing was done with samples that were sprayed with 40 mils of coating. However, heat blocking results will improve if the coating is sprayed thicker . Do not apply more than 80 mils.
How thick should the coats be?
Our testing was done with samples that were sprayed with 40 mils of coating. However, heat blocking results will improve if the coating is sprayed thicker. Do not apply more than 80 mils.
Is the coating UV resistant?
TK88 has excellent UV resistance.
Can the coating be painted over?
Yes.
- Can be Painted after Curing
Can it be sprayed on forba smooth finish? Is it used on motor cars?
The application of this coating will result in a light "orange peel" texture, not flat like a house paint.
Yes, it is used as an undercoating on cars in black.

How much area does one bottle cover?
One quart bottle covers approximately 10–15 square feet of surface area with 2 coats
I am looking for a paint for metal handrails in the color black which will reflect or reduce the surface temperature in direct sunlight.
Our Thermal coating (flat black) will reduce the hand rail heat however...this coating is very thick and will not flow out like regular acrylics do. Getting a nice finish with a brush or roller is very difficult. The nicest texture ( orange peel) is obtained by spraying with our undercoating gun.
