Abstract
A coating material containing borosilicate flake glass is disclosed, together with methods for the preparation and use thereof.
Claims16
A coated substrate comprising a non-metal substrate and a coating material disposed on at least a portion of the non-metal substrate,
- wherein the coating material is a paint that comprises flaked borosilicate glass, substantially all of the flaked borosilicate glass has an aspect ratio of at least 100:1, and wherein the coating material is at least partially impregnated in the non-metal substrate, and wherein the coating material does not comprise a cross-linkable silicone component, and wherein the non-metal substrate comprises a textile;
- wherein upon exposure of the coated non-metal substrate to a source of thermal radiation for a period of time, the coated non-metal substrate has a temperature that is less than a temperature of a comparable non-metal substrate that is not coated with the coating material and similarly exposed to the source of thermal radiation.
A method for improving the thermal properties of a material, the method comprising:
- contacting a coating composition that is a paint comprising flaked borosilicate glass, substantially all of the flaked borosilicate glass comprising an aspect ratio of at least 100:1, with a non-metal substrate to form a coated non-metal substrate;
- and
- exposing the coated non-metal substrate to a source of thermal radiation for a period of time, wherein the coated non-metal substrate has a temperature that is less than a temperature of a comparable non-metal substrate that is not coated with the coating composition and similarly exposed to the source of thermal radiation;
- wherein the non-metal substrate comprises a textile, and wherein, after contacting, the coating composition is at least partially impregnated in the non-metal substrate, wherein the coating composition does not comprise a cross-linkable silicone component.
