Today, energy efficiency is not just a requirement of the times — it is an indicator of a modern approach to construction, production, and operation of buildings.
Modern buildings and industrial structures are increasingly designed with energy efficiency in mind.
Reducing heat loss is not only a resource-saving measure but also a way to extend the lifespan of structures.
One of the most effective solutions is thermal insulation coatings, which combine decorative, protective, and energy-saving functions.
The company DEFENS offers professional coating systems that enhance the energy efficiency of buildings without the complex installation of insulation materials.
What is a thermal insulation coating and how does it work
Thermal insulation paint differs from regular industrial paint in that it contains hollow ceramic or glass microspheres evenly distributed in a polymer base.
These microspheres create an air barrier that reduces the thermal conductivity of the surface, reflects infrared radiation, and prevents overheating of structures.
Thanks to this, DEFENS thermal insulation coatings reduce surface heating in summer and help retain heat in winter.
A layer just a few hundredths of a millimeter thick is sufficient to achieve a noticeable energy-saving effect without increasing the weight or thickness of the structure.
Example: the system DEFENS AK.UR-03 creates a reflective coating that reduces surface temperature by up to 20 °C even under direct sunlight.
Where DEFENS thermal insulation coatings are applied
Materials of this group are used for:
- roofs and facades that heat up under the sun;
- tanks, pipelines, and metal structures where temperature stabilization is needed;
- concrete and brick surfaces that come into contact with a humid or hot environment;
- industrial facilities where it is important to combine thermal insulation with corrosion protection.
In production conditions, this allows for reduced energy costs, decreased risk of condensation formation, and extended equipment lifespan.
In residential and commercial buildings, it creates a comfortable microclimate without additional load on heating and air conditioning systems.
Advantages of thermal insulation coatings over traditional insulation
Unlike mineral wool or polystyrene, thermal insulation coatings do not require frames or special installation. They are easily applied with a brush or spray gun, creating a monolithic film without seams and “cold bridges”.
Main advantages:
- reduction of heat loss and increase in energy efficiency;
- lightness and simplicity of application on any surfaces;
- high adhesion to metal, concrete, wood, brick;
- moisture, ultraviolet, and temperature resistance;
- additional anti-corrosion effect;
- durability and color stability.
Tests confirm that the DEFENS systems meet the ISO 12944 requirements for anti-corrosion protection of metal structures.
Energy efficiency and anti-corrosion protection in one solution
The company DEFENS develops multifunctional systems, where thermal insulation paint combines the properties of anti-corrosion, hydro- and fire protection coatings.
This systematic approach provides long-term protection and reduces maintenance costs.
In DEFENS laboratories, materials undergo comprehensive testing for:
- thermal conductivity;
- resistance to ultraviolet radiation;
- waterproofing and adhesion;
- thermal stability and color stability.
The result is energy-efficient industrial coatings, that actually work in field conditions and demonstrate the effectiveness of Ukrainian technologies.
