Thermal Resistant Coating
KF-I
Thermal resistant and acoustic impeding protective insulation

KALMATRON® KF-I is an inorganic, thermoresistant, non-asbestos compound designed for insulation and protection of building structures and equipment from thermal thresholds, acoustic impedance, and primordial ionic environments.
Supplied as a white powder to be mixed with water.
Uses
KALMATRON® KF-I can be used in two ways: as a coating in a continuous layer, and as a lightweight material for the production of monolithic prefabricated elements such as separators, wall panels, veneers, and equipment shells and screens.
Essentials
- Adhesive to concrete, masonry, metal, asphalt and wood without preliminary surface preparation by acid wash or wire brush. No wire mesh is necessary.
- Recommended for fire protection of buildings and other structures. Provides thermal resistance to walls and roofs.
- Coated by 1.5 mm of KALMATRON® KF-F provides complete heat and water isolation of cooling loops of nuclear plants, chemical plants, storages and underground systems.
- Resistivity of KF-I to thermal environment evaluated by technology of application by stucco gun, shotcrete or additive to the concrete/mortar mixes. As shown below, KF-I will perform as insulation, partition of insulation with structural properties and light structural concrete.
