Definitions

• PAINT COMPOSITION relates to coatings and paints and in particular, insulating coatings and paints which provide heat insulation.
• the paint industry has been, for many years trying to develop a thermo-insulating paint which can satisfactorily prevent heat loss or heat gain across painted surfaces.
• liquid will be understood to include amorphous, gelatinous, fluid and pourable substances.
• appearance of an asterisk (*) denotes that the substance mentioned is identified by its Trade Mark or registered Trade Mark.
• a high build coating is considered to be a coating, which when dried would be of a thickness in the range of 100 microns (approx . ) up to 5 mm (approx ) .
• an- insulating coating composition comprising:
• an insulating coating comprising:
• a method of producing an insulating coating including the steps of: (a) collecting bagasse; (b) grinding and/or particulating said bagasse to an average particle size of 0.01 mm to 5 mm; and
• Bagasse is a natural substance and is the term applied to the final crushed fibre remaining after milling of sugar cane. It consists of fibre (cellulose), water and a small quantity of sugar. It is generally used as or made into fuel, feed, and fibre board. Bagasse is the main source of fuel in the production of steam for mill operation. In some countries, bagasse is a raw material used for the manufacture of paper.
• an insulating paint comprising a paint base which produces when dried, a membrane of a substantially high build coating; and up to 60% by weight of a combination of silica and bagasse.
• the silica li ⁇ ed is a granular type having a hollow centre, whilst the bagasse is preferably dried then ground up to a consistency wherein the average size of particles is approximately 0.01 mm to 5 mm. Good results have been obtained with a silica known as Q-CEL 450* silica microspheres, which is combined with bagasse into a high build membrane paint.
• Q-CEL 450* or Q-CEL 500* are hollow organo silicon modified borosilicate microspheres and as a commercial product are sold as an odorless dry white powder.
• the microspheres are readily wetted out by organic fluids but resist wetting by water. They typically have a bulk
• liquid displacement 0.15 to 0.5 gm/cm with a mean particle size (diameter) of 65 to 70 microns ranging between 10 to 200 microns.
• silica can be utilised, such as hollow organo silicon modified borosilicate microspheres of different dimensions, solid glass microspheres, which are manufactured from A-glass, which are commercially available in graded sizes from 5 to 5000 microns; ceramic, polymeric and mineral microsperes. Further, combinations of these different "silicas" can be utilised.
• the natural substance bagasse can be replaced by an artifically manufactured substance whose chemical composition is any one of the following, or a combination of any one of the following:
• Impurities water, raw sugar and dirt
• the hardenable liquid base can be a paint or paint base such as an acrylic membrane paint, a copolymer resin, an alkyd resin and any other suitable coating, or liquid base, which will harden.
• Fig. 1 illustrates a test rig
• Fig. 2 is a graphical representation of the results of tests conducted over a 6 hour period on a dried film of a paint to the present invention
• Fig. 3 is a graphical representation of the results of tests conducted over a 48 hour period on the same film of that whose results are shown in Fig. 2.
• INSULATING PAINT EXAMPLE 1 A sample of insulating paint was produced from a paint base, this paint being of an acrylic membrane type as is commonly known in the industry. To this paint base was added 10% by weight of specially treated bagasse. This special treatment consisted of a ground down or particulate bagasse of approximately 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm. To this was further added 5% by weight of Q-CEL 450* spherical silica.
• TEST APPARATUS - (See Fig. 1) The apparatus consisted of 2 cylindrical chambers 1 and 2 fabricated from galvanised sheet steel of 1 mm thickness. Each chamber 1 and 2 has two concentric cylinders 3 and 4 of height 60 cm. Inner cylinder 3 has a 30 cm diameter and outer cylinder 4 has a 40 cm diameter with space 5 between filled with insulation 6 and end spaces sealed with galvanised sheet. Chambers 1 and 2 have galvanised sheet flanges 7 at each end, being some 60 cm square with 30 cm hole 8 in centre and 3 heat sensitive probes 9 sited 120 apart, round the periphery, spaced 5 cm from one end.
• Chambers 1 and 2 are stacked vertically. Lower chamber 2 is heated as required and upper chamber 1 is at ambient temperature of laboratory area, being open at the top.
• chambers 1 and 2 and their volume is an optimum compromise between 2 conflicting factors: 1. It should be large enough to permit valid testing (a sample of membrane say 600-1000 square cm, is a reasonable size) and avoid the difficulties inherent in arranging a very small heat supply with adequate control; and 2. It should be small enough not to require excessive heat input, with the control and insulation problems inherent in containing large amounts of heat, and particularly, circulating air currents minimized so that the temperature measured on both membrane (15) surfaces is sensibly the temperature over the total area.
• incandescent lamp 12 as the heat source in the bottom of lower chamber 2 and having an electric current supply at 50 hertz, variable ⁇ in steps of 1 volt, which is read on a meter connected across the unit input.
• Voltage variation is by WF8(G.R.) Variac* rated at 10 amps, with 60 volts connected across its 0-280V winding, so providing an effective 'band-spread' of more than 4 times that of the Variac. scale.
• Probes 9 were 5 cm from flange 7 in each chamber 1 and 2 because:
• Sample membrane 15 was clamped between flanged ends 7 of the chambers 1 and 2 and through bolted to prevent air leakage. Heat was supplied to bottom chamber 1 and temperature recorded as the.i * average between 3 probes, which differed slightly due to unavoidable air current. Chamber 2 therefore proved,* close to ideal. Probes in top chamber 1 showed no variation, as- predicted.
• the insulating paint of example 1 is a heat barrier, providing almost 99% insertion loss when tested under conditions simulating actual use on roofs and similar use.
• Fig. 2 the lefthand margin represents degrees celcius whilst the the bottom margin represents hours from the start of the test.
• the upper graph represents the temperature of the membrane whilst the lower graph represents the ambient temperature.
• the heat source remained stable at 40°C, one hour after the start of the test run.
• the 3 probes read to within 1°C of each other.
• Fig. 3 the lefthand margin represents degrees Celcius whilst the bottom margin represents the time of day with ambient temperature being varied according to natural conditions over a 48 hour period.
• the figures at the bottom margin represent the time on a 24 hour clock.
• the upper graph represents the temperature of the membrane whilst the lower graph represents ambient temperature.
• the tested membrane had one smooth and one rough surface. As the membrane tested was not of continuous cross-section, (in fact varying from approx 0.2 mm to approx 0.6 mm in some places), this exaggerated the reading for the heat gain of the membrane.
• THERMALLY INSULATING COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE CONTROL
• the tests conducted oir membrane and membrane on galvanised sheet were compared to a "Batt", which is a type of fibreglass insulation used generally by the building industry to insulate roofs and other building elements.
• the batt tested was a rated R2.5 (see Standards Association of Australia A.S. 2627 Part 1, 1983). When tested under the same conditions as the membrane and membrane on galvanised sheet, the performance of the batt was not significantly different from that of the membranes.
• the galvanised sheet metal was placed in the test apparatus and the obverse side was subjected to a temperature of 40 C.
• the initial temperature measurement on the reverse side was measured at 30.6°C at an ambient temperature of 21.1°C, and was measured one hour after the 40°C temperature had stabilised in the heat source chamber.
