Iranian Nanotechnology Firm Produces Heat-Insulating, Sound-Absorbing Paint

‘Nilifam Rey’ company has made the acrylic resin-based paint with a high capability to insulate heat and absorb acoustic waves within the range of 400-1000 Hz.

Appling a limited thickness of the paint on any substrate can effectively attenuate the disturbing sounds in the surrounding environment.

The exploitation of nanoparticles in the paint formulation has resulted in preventing the heat transfer and reflection and deviation of acoustic waves.

The nano-based paint can be used in apartments and residential buildings, pipes, thermal chimneys, wagons, aircrafts, ships and construction equipment.

Late last year, researchers at an Iranian company active in nanotechnology field had also produced and commercialized special paints that can reduce energy consumption in buildings.

Researchers at Atlas Poushesh Mohafez Company which is active in nanotechnology field produced and then commercialized special paints that can narrow down energy consumption in various buildings.

Nano thermal insulations reduce energy consumption, protect the environment and bring significant savings in national resources by storing thermal energy in residential and industrial environments.

These insulating paints can control cold and heat and thus reduce energy consumption in different structures with different uses. In buildings, these paints can be used both in the exterior and interior. In the industrial field, specially in the oil and gas sector, these nano insulation paints can be used to reduce energy consumption in tanks and pipes.

Also, these thermal insulation paints are resistant to ultraviolet rays and have interesting feature, including quick drying and the possibility of being applied with different tools like brushes, sprays and rollers. They also enjoy self-repairing properties to meet the needs of upstream industries.
