Insultec is manufactured using unique extenders and proprietary additives developed over many years, we do not wish to pass this technology outside of Insultec. For this reason, Insultec is currently manufactured exclusively at one location in Sydney, Australia, under strict quality control procedures.

From our Sydney factory, we supply and export Insultec products worldwide. The Insultec formula and manufacturing process must remain protected, as the product is unique within the market. Over more than 30 years, there have been numerous attempts by others to replicate Insultec; they have not been able to match its performance in heat re-radiation, waterproofing, durability, or long-term longevity.

Insultec is not like ceramic or conventional coating formulations. It is not a standard membrane or conventional paint product. Insultec has a highly specialised and complicated manufacturing process that has been refined over decades and is extremely difficult to replicate successfully. Maintaining strict control over manufacturing is essential to ensuring the quality, consistency, and performance that Insultec is known for worldwide.

Insultec is a high-performance thermal insulating coating and waterproof membrane designed to drastically reduce heat transfer through roofs, walls, tanks, containers, and other structures. Unlike conventional paints, Insultec is a specialised coating system developed over more than 30 years for thermal performance, energy efficiency, and surface protection.

Insultec works by reducing conductive and radiant heat transfer through the surface it is applied to. It helps keep heat out during hot weather and reduces heat loss during cooler conditions, helping buildings maintain more stable internal temperatures.

No. Insultec is not a conventional roof paint or standard ceramic coating. It is a specialised elastomeric thermal membrane with unique heat-reducing properties proven over decades of use in harsh environments worldwide.

Insultec can be applied to many surfaces including:

• Metal roofs including Colorbond
• Concrete and masonry
• Shipping containers
• Fibreglass
• Timber
• Plasterboard
• Tanks and silos
• Modular buildings
• Industrial equipment
• Walls and ceilings
• Terracotta tiles

Correct primers must be used depending on the substrate.

Yes. Proper surface preparation and primer selection are critical for long-term performance.

Typical examples include:

• Bare metal: Etch primer or anti-corrosive primer
• Masonry/concrete: Masonry sealer/primer
• Existing painted surfaces: Surface cleaning and compatibility assessment
• New Colorbond roofing: Suitable etch primer recommended

Check with Insultec when ordering to ensure you have the correct primer.

Yes. Insultec acts as a waterproof elastomeric membrane while also providing thermal insulation benefits.

Yes. By reducing heat penetration into buildings, Insultec can significantly reduce the load on air conditioning systems, lowering electricity consumption and operating costs.

BASIX and NatHERS certification

As a general guide:

• 1 x 20L drum of Insultec covers approximately 40m² using two coats.
• Coverage can vary depending on substrate texture and application method.

Insultec can be applied by:

• Airless spray
• Roller
• Brush

Most professional roof painters and commercial coating contractors can apply Insultec.
