We were asked if C-COAT is able to provide a protection from the extreme heat while space shuttle is returning to earth? Although without previous experience with space applications our Team at C-COAT accepted a challenge and after 2 years of cooperation, initially with The Spaceship Company (TSC) which was later re-branded to Virgin Galactic, the innovative solution with C-COAT Thermal Insulating Coating material was implemented to the one of “flying birds”.
All successful launches and returns to earth in 2022-2023 were also contributed by C-COAT! We are very proud on that our light weight thin coating insulating material is associated with revolutionary “feather technique” of landing space shuttle.
Indian distributor has demonstrated a “safe to touch” feature of C-COAT products over steamed Pipes with about 200oC plain surface temperature.
The steam pipes were coated with a thin layer of C-COAT and although FLIR IR camera was showing reduction down to 110oC – 150oC surface temperature the operator was able to touch it by bare hand. It is important to mention that anything above 58oC would cause skin burns and this was the reason for our Team to publish the comparative graph showing the Surface Temperature vs Actual C-COAT “safe to touch” Temperature and publish it together with explanation of this phenomenon
The demand for a safe transporting of chemicals exposed to Sun heat during long haulage resulted In LokoRail Slovakia – Europe contractors applying C-COAT over cisterns with sensitive materials Transport. At the same time they achieved prevention of CUI and extremely low maintenance cycle.
10th December 2020 Pulford Air & Gas has ordered more HQ structures with heat protection and due to volume and convenience the project was applied at C-COAT facilities and delivered to Pulford for assembly and shipment to Western Australia upon. The logistics and timing was of concern and delivered as planned and agreed
The sample of 4.5mm fibre-cement board coated with C-COAT was tested to strict Australian Fire standard AS1530.3 and passed with excellence. During this period we also tested our Intumescent coating material which is now complimenting our Thermal Insulating Systems, Both product have shown amazing performance and results.
