Nano-Insulation Polymer Microspheres

ThermIQ Technology
Explained in Detail

What is ThermIQ
Nano-Insulation?

ThermIQ insulation represents the top class of modern thin-layer insulation. Inspired by advanced technologies from the aerospace industry, ThermIQ sets new standards.

It is no longer just about "insulating through thickness", but about intelligent energy management using high-tech polymers.

Heat Shield Icon

Heat Shield

ThermIQ works on the concept of an advanced heat shield. With an outstanding TSR (Total Solar Reflective) value, ThermIQ reflects 93% of solar energy.

Pure Polymers

We rely on polymer microspheres (no ceramics). These small, powerful particles are excellent energy reservoirs and guarantee the longevity of the coating.

93% Reflection

93% Reflection

ThermIQ actively blocks heat entry through its extremely high reflection rate, rather than just slowly letting energy pass through material mass.

The ThermIQ Advantage

An Efficient UV Protection Mechanism

ThermIQ's composition includes polymer microspheres with a diameter of only 4 μm (a human hair measures approx. 60 μm).

When cross-linked, they act as a barrier against electromagnetic waves: from UV rays to visible light and far infrared. The energy is reflected multiple times and diverted.

Building Heating in Summer

In summer, the sun emits intense radiation. Surfaces heat up and conduct heat inside. Even with thick insulation, heat accumulation often occurs within the material and is released with a delay.

Physics Principle:
Energy always flows from a place of high energy (hot) to a place of low energy (cold).

Energy Loss in Winter

In winter, the energy potential inside (e.g., 22°C) is much higher than outside (-10°C). Thermal bridges allow energy to escape. ThermIQ reflects the heating's thermal radiation from the wall back into the room.

How It Works: A Comparison

Why we rely on technology, not thickness.

🧱

Conventional Insulation

Works on the principle of resistance. It uses mass and thickness (air pockets) to slow down heat conduction and convection. Heat penetrates but is slowed down.

🛡️

ThermIQ Technology

Works on the principle of reflection. The thermal coating reflects thermal radiation (infrared) at the surface. Heat does not penetrate deep into the material or leave the room.

Radiation Share of Heat Sources

Where ThermIQ works most efficiently:

The Sun 100% Radiation
Infrared Heating ~100% Radiation
Ceiling Heating approx. 90% Radiation
Underfloor Heating 70-80% Radiation
Convection Heating < 20% Radiation

Im Detail

What is ThermIQ
Nano insulation?

ThermIQ insulation represents the top class of modern thin-film insulation. Inspired by advanced technologies that were originally used in the demanding space industry, ThermIQ sets new standards in insulation technology.

Heat shield

ThermIQ works on the concept of an advanced heat shield that effectively reflects radiation. With an outstanding TSR parameter (Total Solar Reflective), ThermIQ stands out from the competition and reflects an impressive 93% of solar energy from facades and roofs.

Pure polymers (no ceramic)

In the ThermIQ systems, we use polymer microspheres — these small but powerful particles are excellent energy storage devices. Their integration not only ensures high efficiency, but also the longevity of ThermIQ insulation.

The ThermIQ advantage

AN EFFICIENT UV PROTECTION MECHANISM.

The unique composition of ThermIQ includes polymer microspheres that are only 4 μm in diameter — in comparison, a human hair has a diameter of around 60 μm. These microspheres, when connected, act as efficient barriers against electromagnetic waves — from UV rays to visible light to far infrared. When such a wave hits this network, it is reflected several times until it is finally redirected.

The shield for your building

Visualize the effect of these networked microspheres on the outer skin of a building. Together, they form a tight shield, which effectively protects the building from harmful solar radiation. That is the secret behind ThermIQ. ThermIQ thermal insulation creates an insurmountable energy barrier — a true shield for your property.

03

Building heating and energy loss

How is it in summer?

During the summer months, the sun emits intensive radiation, which hits building surfaces such as facades and roofs and heats them. These heated surfaces then transfer the heat to the interior of the building. The result: Hot air circulates inside and rises upwards due to the principle of convection.

But what are the effects of this energy movement?

During the hot summer months, the effects are particularly noticeable, especially in the attic. Even if the best conventional insulation materials currently available on the market are used, heat can build up in a short period of time. According to EU standards, a room is considered overheated as soon as temperatures of 26°C and above are reached.

Haus Dämmung Sommer

Remember
Energy always flows from a place of high energy (e.g. high temperatures) to a location of low energy (e.g. lower temperatures). While energy flows from outside to inside in summer, it is exactly the opposite in winter.

How is it in winter?

In winter, the energy potential inside the building (e.g. at a room temperature of 22°C) is significantly higher than outside (e.g. at an outside temperature of -10°C). This difference results in energy being lost from the interior of the building and results in increased heating costs.

Haus Wärmedämmung Winter

The heater emits heat, which hits the wall and warms it up. However, this energy then escapes back outside through heat conduction. In the case of radiators, the convection phenomenon must also be considered: Cool room air is drawn past the radiator and heated by the hot water in the radiator fins. This now warm air then rises. However, if the radiator is mounted too close to a wall, this convection process takes place directly behind the radiator, which can affect efficiency.

04

Did you get cold?

That's where ThermIQ comes in.

Unlike conventional insulation materials, ThermIQ does not rely on pure resistance to energy. Instead, it establishes an effective barrier that massively reduces the penetration of energy. A special feature of ThermIQ is the TSR parameter (Total Solar Reflective), which indicates the reflection rate of the radiation. With ThermIQ, this value is remarkably high and significantly exceeds other insulation materials.

93% Total Solar Reflectance

In our previous illustrations, we have shown that radiation occurs first, followed by heat conduction and convection. This is where ThermIQ stands out from the competition: It focuses on preventing heat absorption and not just on post-penetration treatment. The result? ThermIQ reflects an impressive 93% of the heat energy that hits a surface, be it a wall or a roof.

ThermIQ in comparison

Traditional insulation materials work by creating resistance in their composition, which slows down the loss of thermal energy.

ThermIQ takes a different approach.

Instead of simply decelerating, ThermIQ actively reflects thermal energy. The effectiveness of this approach is impressive: Even a 1 mm thick ThermIQ coating achieves the insulation effect of 25 cm of conventional insulation materials.

Dicke Vergleich von BAUTER Wärmedämmung und herkömmlicher Wärmedämmung

Many suppliers on the Austrian market are currently using insulation materials with a thickness of 15 to 20 cm in order to meet building regulations. From 2023, the heat transfer coefficient of an outer wall must be at least U=0.20 W/m²K compared to U=0.23 W/m²K in 2020. This new regulation requires an increase in insulation thickness by a few centimeters.
