1 Super R Radiant Barriers TempShield Bubble Products...for all your insulation needs...for all your insulation needs U nlike mass insulation, which only slows down or resists heat transfer, Radiant Barrier reflects heat. Heat, by natural law, always turns cold. The problem is how to keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer. There are three ways in which heat goes from warm spaces to cold spaces: Conduction is direct heat flow through a solid object like a wall or ceiling. Convection is heat movement through air, occurring when air is warmed. The warm air expands, becoming less dense, and rises. Winter heat in the house during winter s cold. In summer, just like a space suit, Radiant Barrier reflects the sun s heat before it can warm up the insulation in your attic. When the insulation stays cooler, your house will stay cooler. Think of it like a Thermos Bottle... a near perfect insulator. The tight seal and air space prohibits heat transfer by conduction and convection. The reflective surfaces inhibit radiation heat transfer. If it starts out hot it stays hot because little heat is transferred to the cooler Summer outside. If it s cold it stays cold because very little heat is transferred from the warmer outside. Super R Radiant Barrier can be installed on top of your up to 7% CONDUCTION up to 7% CONDUCTION present insulation like a CONVECTION Radiation is the movement up to 45% CONVECTION blanket or stapled under your of heat rays across air spaces rafters or crawl space.

Nylon is 100 times more resistant to the passage of air than polyethylene resulting in consistent R values. POLYETHYLENE ADHESIVE NYLON ADHESIVE POLYETHYLENE CO-EXTRUDED NYLON BARRIER CONSTRUCTION When transporting product in a trailer or container, it s usually stacked 4 to 5 rolls high, which amounts to a load of 60 lbs. psi and causes the bubbles on the bottom to lose air. TempShield is made of 20% recycled material and comes in extended widths up to ten feet wide. Tests indicate that under a one pound psi load for four days, the competitive bubble loses up to 35% of the air or thickness while TempShield will only lose 5% of its air. Our Super R Radiant Barriers and TempShield Foil Bubble Insulations: provide a substantial reduction in fuel costs have as little as 0.03 emissivity provide greater comfort are non-toxic/non-carcinogenic reduce investment dollars needed for are Class A/Class 1 fire rated according heating and cooling equipment are double-sided 99% pure aluminum or single-sided aluminum with white on one side are reinforced for maximum strength and durability meet fire and smoke safety requirements of most Federal, State and Local building codes are as much as 97% reflective are puncture and tear resistant to the new AS E84 and AS E2599 standards are clean, lightweight and easy to handle are installed with no special tools, clothing or mask are resistant to the growth of mold, mildew or bacteria provide no nest support for rodent or insect pests require no maintenance

2 Independent Laboratory and Government Agency Testing The Florida Solar Energy Center at Cape Canaveral has tested radiant barriers in both small scale laboratory and full scale building models. Their results indicate that radiant barriers provide significant resistance to heat transfer. Current testing by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Oak Ridge Laboratories in Tennessee, and the University of Mississippi support those findings. Northeastern Illinois University conducted winter tests in both residential and commercial structures using infra-red thermograph photography. The photos showed significant resistance to heat transfer over the regular insulation. TempShield Products Listed for Building Insulation TempShield products are now listed by the following building code agencies: American Society for Testing and Materials AS C 1313: Standard Specification for Sheet Radiant Barrier AS E 96, Procedure A: Water Vapor Transmission AS C 1338: Resistance to the Growth of Fungi AS C 1371: Surface Emittance of Radiant Barrier AS D 3310: Test Method for Determining Corrosivity AS D 2261: Tearing Strength of Fabrics AS E 84: Burning Characteristics according to E 2599 Mounting Method International Code Council ICC Evaluation Services, Inc. Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association International RIMA International Verification Program Metropolitan Dade County (FL) Building Code Compliance Dept. Product Control Notice of Acceptance Acceptance Number TempShield bubble products have also been evaluated and approved by the states of California, Wisconsin and Minnesota Your Radiant Barrier Distributor: Seal and Insulate Super R Radiant Barrier and TempShield Foil Bubble Insulations S uper R Radiant Barrier and TempShield Foil Bubble insulation products were developed to serve the building industry s expanding needs.

NASA & Foiling the Effects of Heat and SM Cold The same material used in making Super R kept NASA astronauts from losing body heat in the intense elements of space. The Space Shuttle s outer heat tiles and many other areas contain radiant barrier protection against heat and cold. This same technology is incorporated into our Super R product line, giving you cutting edge materials and performance.
