FAQs - Thermalmix Insulating Paint Additive
What is Thermalmix?

Thermalmix is a revolutionary paint additivethat makes paint insulate. Thermalmix uses the latest Nano insulating technologies to create an effective thermal barrier. This prevents heat loss through your walls and ceilings. Room temperatures normally increase by up to 2 to 3°C, and stay warmer for longer.

Thermalmix has been developed by our highly-skilled Research and Development team utilizing the latest NanoCNB structures so that when walls and ceilings are coated with paint mixed with Thermalmix, the surface’s ability to absorb heat from the room is inhibited, thus reflecting the heat BACK into your room.

Thermalmix is environmentally friendly and its breathability helps with condensation problems.

How does Thermalmix work?

Thermalmix creates an effective thermal barrier which prevents heat loss through walls and ceilings when used internally in cold countries, and prevents heat gain through walls and ceilings when used externally in hot countries.

Conventional insulation products only work by slowing down the rate of heat LOSS through the wall. The Nano technology within Thermalmix works by helping to PREVENT the heat getting to the wall in the first place by the formation of its unique thermal barrier.

Additional energy saving benefits are also achieved when used on previously insulated walls.

Thermalmix has been independently tested across the world to UK, EU and ASTM standards, and is used throughout the world by multi-national companies, Goverment departments and individual households.

How to use Thermalmix?

Thermalmix is very easy to use and can be mixed with virtually all paints and coatings. The contents of the bottle should be gradually stirred into 5 litres of paint or coating.

Follow best practice method used by professional decorators:

  1. Empty the paint into a bucket.
  2. Empty a pack of Thermalmix into the same bucket.
  3. Mix using a manual hand paint stirrer or use a drill based stirrer.

A minimum of two coats of paint containing Thermalmix should be applied to achieve maximum thermal efficiency. Thermalmix gives a very slight textured feel, so perfect for covering minor imperfections. However, for a flatter finish, simply apply a final third coat of paint without Thermalmix mixed in to it.

How Much Paint Does One Bottle mix with?

One bottle of Thermalmix Insulating Paint Additive will mix into one 5 litre can of paint.

What Paint Can Thermalmix be mixed in?

Thermalmix can be mixed into any good quality interior or exterior paint. You would need to apply two coats to the surface.

Does Thermalmix affect the colour of the paint?

Thermalmix does not affect the paint that it is mixed with, as it is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly product.

When Thermalmix is being mixed with lighter colour (creams and neutral) you will not notice a difference in the colour. However, when it is being mixed with darker colours (dark reds andblues), it will ever so slightly lighten it a shade.

To get over this, we recommend that you apply two coats of Thermalmix and a topcoat with no Thermalmix in the paint. This will bring back you original colour and give you a smoother and flatter finish.
