Thermal retention by “Interior coating”

With just 0.5mm, the innovative ceramic coating can protect you from cold air outside. In winter, heat energy escapes from the inside to the outside because indoor temperature is normally higher than outdoor temperature.

When you turn on the heater, heat energy is absorbed to the inner wall, ceiling and floor ground even though insulation material was installed inside the structure. This is why it takes time until you feel warm.

GAINA, as an insulation, not only can prevent heat escape, it also can make you feel warmer than the actual temperature due the ability to convert heat energy to far infrared.

Prevent heat accumulation as “Exterior coating”

GAINA prevents heat accumulation by dissipating heat from surface of house and building.

Unlike normal insulation paint which is just based on the technology of solar reflectance, GAINA has very unique thermal properties which can dissipate heat as far infrared regardless of sunlight exposure or not. It is emitted at the very shallow position on the membrane which can prevent heat accumulation.

In addition, having its low thermal effusivity makes it harder to absorb heat to the surface.

Noise Prevention
Soundproofing

Multi-ceramic cluster layers provide sound deadening effect due to being able to refract sound energy repeatedly inside ceramic beads which is hollow inside.

No coating: SS400

Phthalic acid coating: SS400

GAINA coating: SS400

Sound is generated through vibration and transmitted as vibration. GAINA dampens vibration, achieving effective soundproofing. The tree waveforms shown above express data gathered from the GAINA dampening tests carried out at the Hamamatsu Industry Experiment Station.

The results show GAINA’s superior capabilities of controlling vibration.

Condensation
Prevention

Main cause of condensation is heat transfer caused by temperature difference on the structure. The bigger temperature difference the more condensation would be easily happen.

By coating GAINA on the surface of wall and ceiling, temperature difference become smaller than before coating. It leads to reduce heat transfer which makes also reduce unwanted condensation

Odor Reduction
Enhanced Air Quality

Far infrared radiation from GAINA act on humidity and break into water molecules finely.

In this process, finely shattered water molecules become negatively charged. What it’s called “Negative Ion”. This doesn’t let airborne
contaminants float in the air and it leads to create excellent air quality.

Incombustibility

Building materials are categorized into three qualification ranks of incombustibility set forth in a governmental ordinance: incombustibles,
quasi-incombustibles, and fire-retardant
materials.

GAINA is certified as by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

GAINA helps buildings last longer

GAINA boasts many ceramic layers that provide the strongest resistance to ultraviolet rays, creating a coating that is lasts 2 to 3 times longer than regular paint.
GAINA ‘s insulation and thermal barrier capabilities also suppress the expansion and constriction of structural materials. Anti-ultraviolet durability, as enabled by GAINA, is evaluated based on ultraviolet ray absorption rates.

Water-based GAINA is reassuringly safe
GAINA Interior received Grade F

GAINA is water-based and contains no organic solvents or any other hazardours materials.
In fact, GAINA interior (specially developed for interior use) received grade
F☆☆☆☆, yet it holds the same level of safety evaluations for aldehydes and Volatile Organic Compounds, as seen in the table on the right.

Features and Performance

Application and Tools

As the thermal insulation effect is brought by the unique ceramic, it does not deteriorate even with dirt on coating surface over time.

Please provide adequate ventilation after application. In general, the smell disappears in a few days. We have another low odor type which is specialized for interior.

It can be applied to most materials with appropriate under coat.

Polypropylene (high density), fluorine processed product, Teflon processed
product etc.

There are 52 basic colors. Please contact with your supplier for further details.

Coloring does not affect the thermal insulation effect, even though heat shield
effect in dark colors slightly decreases.

The underlying color is not seeable if applied with recommended application amount. But if it is uncertain, under coating in white color is recommended.

There is no transparent type. It is available only with colors.

The temperature range of thermal resistance of GAINA is from -100 Degree Celsius to 150 Degree Celsius. But please apply it at normal temperature.

Even at below-freezing temperatures, thermal insulation is fully effective after drying is totally completed.

It is not made for waterproofing but it can be applied as a top coat for
protection of waterproofing or to provide elasticity for the body of the building.

Since the special ceramic, which is the main component of GAINA, is extremely strong against ultraviolet rays, 15-20 years is a standard for recoating under general environment.
