Thermal Barrier Paint
cools boiler in hotel
Success story, October 2009
Bangkok, Thailand: Five Star Hotel improves
boiler and hot pipe insulation with Thermal
Barrier Paint, reducing energy costs and
improving staff working conditions as well.
One of the areas where hotels can realize energy savings
quickly is the boiler room. Because boilers must maintain
a constant high temperature and demand for steam and
hot water comes in bursts, their irregular workload
causes frequent energy consumption peaks.
After painting the boilers and hot pipes with Thermal
Above: temperature check on painted hot pipe. Barrier Paint, this hotel’s pipe surface temperature
became up to 10°C cooler than the unpainted section.
3 layers of paint are only 0.3 mm thick, which makes the
solution particularly easy to apply even in places where
access to piping is an issue.
Thermal Barrier Paint is water-based, non-inflammable
and non-toxic. It can be applied safely on all surfaces.
Targets achieved:
 make boiler more energy-efficient
 reduce piping/boiler surface temperature
Above: temperature recorded simultaneously  improve staff working conditions
on painted / unpainted hot pipe sections.
Thermal Barrier Paint key data:
 reduces building indoors temperature by 5°C minimum
 improves hot / cold equipment insulation by up to 40°C
 certified to reduce CO2 emissions, fights global warming
 easily applicable on all surfaces without primer
 no special equipment or training required
