This paper will introduce a new TIC filler in granule form based on this technology, which can be formulated into coatings to bring high thermal insulative efficiency. The basis of the super insulation functionality in coatings is derived from the specially engineered microporous composite, where the structure has an optimized density combined with high hydrophobicity. The combination of properties allows high filler loading levels, far above conventional fumed silica. The high thermal insulative efficiency comes from the engineered particle design leading to filler which contributes significant passivation in a coating to the three major pathways of heat transfer, which are conduction, gaseous motion and radiation.

Coatings and formulating details will be highlighted.
